  • Geological Map of the North Mountain Basalt from Cape Split to Brier Island, with Comments on Its Resource Potential
    Report of Activities 2005 39 Geological Map of the North Mountain Basalt from Cape Split to Brier Island, with Comments on its Resource Potential D. J. Kontak Introduction preparation and will be published elsewhere (Kontak, in prep.), where it is demonstrated that the sequence corresponds to other continental flood The Jurassic North Mountain Basalt (NMB) forms basalt provinces (e.g. 65 Ma Deccan Traps, 17- a prominent cuesta along the southern coastline of 15 Ma Columbia River Basalt Group) that have the Bay of Fundy, and is contiguous with outliers analogues in the active flows of Hawaii. This along the northern side of the bay (Fig. 1). This correspondence provides a basis for interpreting the prominent topographic feature, roughly 200 km in volcanological features of the NMB (see Kontak, length, is the focus of this paper and the topic of 2002, for discussion). field studies over the past few years (Kontak, 2000, 2002; Kontak et al., 2005). One result of this work is the first geological map of this unit over the Geological Setting length of the North Mountain (Kontak, 2005, 2006), which provides a basis for assessment of the Numerous, early Mesozoic continental tholeiitic area’s resources. Previous work indicated that the basalt flows, dykes and sills formed along the NMB contained three distinct flow units, referred eastern margin of North America, concurrent with to as the Lower, Middle and Upper flow units the infilling of basins with non-marine sedimentary (Kontak, 2002), and the results of this work have rocks during Pangean rupture, as a prelude to the shown that this subdivision can be extended over opening of the present-day Atlantic Ocean.

  • Landform Generated: Nova Scotian Example
    Landform Generated: Drumlin (an oval or elongated hill) Nova Scotian Example: Halifax Military Heritage Preservation Society Kuowaqe’jk, Big Pine Hill (Citadel Hill, Halifax) MAIN CULPRIT: WATER & ICE Halifax is known for this large drumlin overlooking the city, dropped by this culprit. Made of unsorted sediment, the drumlin was soft enough to carve Citadel Hill into it. This culprit also left behind a partially submerged drumlin in the harbour. Mélanie Léger, Radio-Canada, 2019 Landform Generated: Erratic (a rock that does not match the rocks of the area) Nova Scotian Example: Kjipanu’pek, Great bay opening out to the sea (Areas along St. Margaret’s Bay) MAIN CULPRIT: WATER & ICE These large granite boulders likely came from the North Mountain batholith and were deposited and exposed by this culprit around 10,000 years ago. Striations scraped into the boulders tell us the direction of the culprit’s movement. Michael C. Rygel, Wikimedia Commons Landform Generated: Lake Basin (the indent where the water of a lake collects) Nova Scotian Example: Pitu’pok/Pitu’paq, Long dish of saltwater/To which all things flow (Bras d’Or Lakes, Cape Breton) MAIN CULPRIT: WATER & ICE This culprit carved the basins of the Bras d’Or lakes, leaving behind stratified sediment. As the lake basins formed, they filled with fresh water, but as the sea level rose, they filled with sea water and marine life. Joseph Apaloo, Research Gate, Jan 2010 Landform Generated: Roche Moutonée (a bare rock with a smooth gentle slope side and a steep, rough cliff side) Nova Scotian Example: Nukumkikewe’jk, At the soft place (Taylor Head Provincial Park) MAIN CULPRIT: WATER & ICE This culprit slowly travelled up the soft sandstone bedrock, making the gradual slope on one side.
