Palynological analysis of Carboniferous outcrop and corehole samples from the 1993-1995 Magdalen Basin NATMAP Project, with updated data files, locality data and lists of taxa identified, Prince Edward... : M183-2/9166E-PDF

"The Magdalen Basin NATMAP Project was a cooperative and collaborative effort to address the late Paleozoic geological history and resource potential of the western Maritimes Basin. This basin underlies much of the Gulf of St Lawrence and can be studied onshore in parts of five eastern Canadian provinces. Approximately thirty participants, representing regional and national geoscience arms of government, universities, and the private sector, undertook multidisciplinary studies of onshore portions of the basin between 1993 and 1995. Stratigraphic studies of this extensive sedimentary basin underpinned this collective effort. Such studies have been supported historically by invertebrate paleontology which helps to place the rocks in relative geological time. As more traditionally used fossils are largely unavailable in a basin dominated by non-marine rocks, palynology, especially the study of spores and pollen, provided an ideal tool suited to the study of terrestrial rocks"--Introduction, page 1.
