  • Probable Middle Carboniferous NW-SE Faulting in the Musquodoboit Valley, Nova Scotia, Canada
    Probable Middle Carboniferous NW-SE faulting in the Musquodoboit Valley, Nova Scotia, Canada HOWARD V. DONOHOE JR.1, HEATHER J. CROSS2, AND PAUL BATSON3 1. Department of Geology, Saint Mary’s University, 923 Robie Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia B3H 3C3, Canada <[email protected]> 2. Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada 3. APGNS, P.O. Box 91, Main Stn, Enfield, Nova Scotia B2T 1C6, Canada The search for potable groundwater has led to more information about post-Early Carboniferous NW-SE faulting in the Musquodoboit Valley. Scouts Canada’s Camp Nedooae located several kilometres north of Elderbank, Nova Scotia, needed several wells for an additional water source. Previous geological maps of the area do not suggest NW-SE faulting. The Valley in this location has a relatively thick cover of till and very few outcrops so knowledge of the bedrock is based on extrapolation from limited outcrops and relatively uncomplicated structure. The camp location was thought to be near a Goldenville Group basement high just to the north. Gently south- dipping Windsor Group shale, evaporite and limestone lie unconformably on the older rocks. Instead of finding the base of the Windsor Group and the unconformity, the first well (east block), 0.5 km southeast of Brown Lake was collared in Goldenville Group. The second well, 0.6 km west, was collared in gypsum and bottomed in limestone/dolostone with interlayers of gypsum. No fossils fragments were found anywhere in the well cuttings. We now surmise that the east block moved up and the west block moved down. With this knowledge of the bedrock and some topographic trends, we now believe NW-SE faulting has played a greater role in rock distribution in the Valley.

  • Interpretation Planning of the Purcells Cove Granite Quarries
    Interpretation Planning for Purcell’s Cove Quarries Bachelor of Community Design Honours Thesis Rachael Groat School of Planning Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS Supervisor: John Zuck Winter 2016 Acknowledgements Thank you to John Zuck for all your direction and assistance with this project, especially hiking with us through the quarries and sharing your wealth of knowledge. It has been a pleasure to work with you on this project. Thank you to Marcos Zentilli and Rebecca Jamieson for sharing your expertise and passion for the area. Thank you to Patricia Manuel for your guidance throughout the year. Thank you to Jennifer Strang at the Dalhousie GIS Centre for helping us to track down data. Finally, thank you to Cole Grabinsky. There is no one else I would have rather collaborated with on this project. i Executive Summary Purcell’s Cove is located on the western shore of the Northwest Arm of Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia. Historically there were six quarries located at Purcell’s Cove; three granite quarries and three slate or bluestone quarries. The remains of these quarries and their operations can still be seen today. This project explores the Purcell’s Cove Quarries through the lens of interpretation planning and with the intent of establishing the cultural significance and heritage value of the site. This project focuses on the geologic history theme and was completed in close collaboration with Cole Grabinsky, who focused on the industrial history theme. A site inventory established the approximate extents of the granite and bluestone quarries and located trails in the area, the rail bed of a historic railroad track, as well as significant quarry remains and environmental features.

  • Impact of Grazing by Microzooplankton in the Northwest Arm of Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia
    MARINE ECOLOGY - PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 47: 249-258. 1988 Published August 31 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. Impact of grazing by microzooplankton in the Northwest Arm of Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia D. J. Gifford* Department of Oceanography, Dalhousie University. Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada B3H 451 ABSTRACT: Impact of grazing by natural assemblages of microzooplankton was measured in 5 in situ experiments in Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia (Canada) using a seawater dilution method. The mi- crozooplankton assemblages, dominated numerically by oligotrich chates, exerted a seasonally vari- able grazing impact; 38 % of the initial standing stock of chlorophyll a d-' was consumed (= 47 % of potential chlorophyll production d-l) in June when flagellates < 12 pm dominated the phytoplankton. No significant grazing occurred in November during a bloom of large diatoms. In March, when grazing and phytoplankton growth were in balance, 100 % of the daily chlorophyll production was grazed. Assumptions of the dilution method that threshold feeding does not occur and that phytoplankton nutrients are not limiting were examined, and although probably violated in some cases, were found not to affect the results of the experiments.

  • (A) the Northwest Arm Penitentiary, 1844-1852
    SECTION TEN (A) THE NORTHWEST ARM PENITENTIARY, 1844-1852 Anthony Thomson (2000) The Nova Scotia Penitentiary was built along the Northwest Arm in the south end just outside the property set aside for Point Pleasant Park. It was constructed in the middle of what historians claim to be a great "intellectual awakening" in Nova Scotia, which Harvey, for example, dates as having occurred between 1835 and 1848.1 Opened in 1844 and replaced by Dorchester Penitentiary in 1880, the Nova Scotia Penitentiary served several purposes subsequently and was finally demolished in 1948. In the early twentieth century, the functioning prison in Halifax was the City Prison built at the end of Gottingen Street in the North End of the city. When I first began research on the history of corrections in Nova Scotia, I mistook the city prison for the penitentiary. This error was reinforced by some early secondary sources. C. W. Topping, in his Canadian Penal Institutions, reported that, ‚In‖1854‖a‖two-story granite structure, one-hundred and eighty-one feet by thirty-six feet and containing eighty cells, was erected in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It has come to be called‖’Rockhead‖Prison.’‛ He refers to this institution as the one that was visited by J. M. Ferres in 1867.2 In his World Penal Systems: A Survey, Negley Teeters repeats this information and refers to the penal establishment‖ in‖ Halifax‖ as‖ ‚known‖ as‖ Rockhead Prison, [which] was erected in 1854. It is now a jail for the city‖of‖Halifax.‛3 FOUNDING THE NEW BRIDEWELL The Bridewell established in 1818 was supplanted thirty years later when a new House of Correction was opened, known as the Provincial Penitentiary.
