Provenance identification of detrital quartz using hot-cathode cathodoluminescence : an atlas of source rocks / C. Sawatzky and G. Pe-Piper.: M183-2/7060E-PDF
This study forms part of a joint project between the Geological Survey of Canada and Saint Mary’s University to investigate the provenance and diagenesis of reservoir sandstones in the offshore Scotian Basin. This report documents the optical and hot-cathode cathodoluminescence (CL) character of quartz from a suite of crystalline rocks. Most of these rocks are from potential bedrock sources to the Scotian Basin; a few archived rock samples from elsewhere were selected to characterize particular types of quartz without the expense of collecting samples in the field from throughout Atlantic Canada. A subsequent publication will apply the optical and CL properties documented here to sandstones in the Scotian Basin. ...
