Electron microprobe geochronology and chemical variation of detrital monazite from the Lower Cretaceous sandstones of the Scotian basin and the Chaswood Formation, eastern Canada / G. Pe-Piper, R.M. MacKay.: M183-2/5023E-PDF
This Open File is one of a series on detrital and diagenetic mineralogy of the Lower Cretaceous rocks of the Scotian basin and their on-land equivalent, the Chaswood Formation, resulting from a collaborative program initiated in 2001 between Saint Mary's University, the Geological Survey of Canada and the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources. This report provides the results of dating of detrital monazite and a preliminary interpretation of the paleogeography and sediment dispersion pattern inferred from this data. It provides an essential database for a forthcoming GSC Bulletin on the Chaswood Formation.
