Phosphate mining in the province of Quebec was one an impor- tant item of the mining industry. In the seventeen years between 1878 and 1894, the production of apatite in the province amounted to 282,555 tons valued at 1;4,103,008. From 1890 the activity decreased considerably due to the development of the phosphate deposits of Florida which caused the prices for the minerals to full below the value which made mining in Canada competitive. Many of the phosphate mines also contained mica and so continued to be active for some time after the phosphate operations ceased. Where was a slight pick up of activity during the first world war and an Important renewal during the second world war especially in 1941 when 2487 tons of phosphate was mined valued at $33,376. This output was sold in great part to the Electric Reduction Co. at Buckingham to be used in the manufacture of phosphorous and phosphorous salts. The list of apatite occurences which follows may not have more than a historical interest unless a shortage of phosphate developed or some economic way was found to separate the mineral from its gangue.

    785 The Canadian Mineralogist Vol. 51, pp. 785-800 (2013) DOI : 10.3749/canmin.51.5.785 A COMBINED GEOCHEMICAL AND GEOCHRONOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF NIOCALITE FROM THE OKA CARBONATITE COMPLEX, CANADA WEI CHEN§, ANTONIO SIMONETTI, AND PETER C. BURNS* Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering & Earth Sciences, 156 Fitzpatrick Hall, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame IN, 46556 USA ABSTRACT This study is the first to report a detailed geochemical investigation and in situ U-Pb ages for niocalite, which occurs within carbonatite from the Bond Zone area of the Oka Carbonatite Complex (Canada). Niocalite is a Nb-disilicate member of the låvenite−cuspidine group. The major element composition of the niocalite studied here is relatively homogeneous with the average formula of: (Na0.34Fe0.06Mn0.19Mg0.09Ca13.40REE0.15Ti0.02)Σ14.25Nb2.12Ta0.06(Si2O7)4O7.65F2.44. Niocalite is enriched in minor and trace elements [i.e., Ta, Ti, and rare earth elements (REEs) up to 4.35 wt.%], with double- and triple-valenced elements (i.e., Sr, Y, REEs) substituting at different Ca-occupied lattice sites. The chondrite-normalized REE patterns for niocalite are LREE-enriched (~104 times chondrite) and negatively sloped. In addition, niocalite has higher HREE contents compared to those for co-existing apatite from the identical carbonatite sample. This result is expected based on bond valence data because of differing cation sizes. In situ U-Pb ages for niocalite from three carbonatite samples obtained by LA-ICP-MS define a wide range of ages, between ~111 and ~133 Ma. Niocalite from one carbonatite sample yields a bimodal distribution with weighted mean 206Pb/238U ages of 110.1 ± 5.0 Ma and 133.2 ± 6.1 Ma, and overlap those of co-existing apatite for the same sample.

ROBERTS Geological Survey of Canada, 601 Booth Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0E8, Canada MARK A. COOPER Department of Geological Sciences, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2, Canada ABSTRACT Adamsite-(Y), ideally NaY(CO3)2•6H2O, is a newly identified mineral from the Poudrette quarry, Mont Saint-Hilaire, Quebec. It occurs as groups of colorless to white and pale pink, rarely pale purple, flat, acicular to fibrous crystals. These crystals are up to 2.5 cm in length and form spherical radiating aggregates. Associated minerals include aegirine, albite, analcime, ancylite-(Ce), calcite, catapleiite, dawsonite, donnayite-(Y), elpidite, epididymite, eudialyte, eudidymite, fluorite, franconite, gaidonnayite, galena, genthelvite, gmelinite, gonnardite, horváthite-(Y), kupletskite, leifite, microcline, molybdenite, narsarsukite, natrolite, nenadkevichite, petersenite-(Ce), polylithionite, pyrochlore, quartz, rhodochrosite, rutile, sabinaite, sérandite, siderite, sphalerite, thomasclarkite-(Y), zircon and an unidentified Na–REE carbonate (UK 91). The transparent to translucent mineral has a vitreous to pearly luster and a white streak. It is soft (Mohs hardness 3) and brittle with perfect {001} and good {100} and {010} cleav- ␣ ␤ ␥ ° ° ages. Adamsite-(Y) is biaxial positive, = V 1.480(4), = 1.498(2), = 1.571(4), 2Vmeas. = 53(3) , 2Vcalc. = 55 and is nonpleochroic. Optical orientation: X = [001], Y = b, Z a = 14° (in ␤ obtuse). It is triclinic, space group P1,¯ with unit-cell parameters refined from powder data: a 6.262(2), b 13.047(6), c 13.220(5) Å, ␣ 91.17(4), ␤ 103.70(4), ␥ 89.99(4)°, V 1049.1(5) Å3 and Z = 4.

Peter RICHARDS National Center for Water Quality Research, Heidelberg College, Tiffi n, Ohio 44883, USA Edwin GNOS, Thomas PETTKE and Marco HERWEGH Institut für Geologie, Universität Bern, Balzerstr. 1, CH–3012 Bern, Switzerland Abstract Samples of marble xenoliths, thermally metamorphosed by the igneous rocks of Mont Saint-Hilaire, Quebec, contain idio- morphic plates of phlogopite. These plates were later overgrown and to some extent topotactically replaced by sodian tainiolite, tapering in fragile fi bers extending parallel to [100]. The fi bers only protrude parallel to [100] of the phlogopite host. Unit-cell parameters of phlogopite and tainiolite, both 1M polytypes (space group C2/m), are so similar that the phases in the phlogo- pite–tainiolite intergrowth could not be distinguished by single-crystal X-ray methods. Phlogopite of composition K1.01(Mg1.96 Fe0.66Li0.20Mn0.03Ti0.03Al0.04)⌺2.92(Si3.28Al0.72)⌺4 O10[(OH)1.14F0.86]⌺2 has the highest Si/Al value of natural samples of phlogopite known to us.

Mont Megantic, located approximately 150 km east of Montreal has been included in the MH province (because of its geographic location), but geologically Mont Megantic belongs to the Younger White Mountain petrographic province of New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont. The MH plutons are largely composed of silica-undersaturated alkaline rocks: carbonatite and other strongly silica-undersaturated lithologies occur at Oka, and nepheline normative gabbros and pyroxenites, nepheline-bearing diorites, and feldspathoidal-bearing syenites and monzonites occur at the other MH plutons. Slightly silica- saturated quartz-bearing syenites are found at Monts Figure 1. Location and geological setting of the Brome and Shefford.

  • Alumni Newsletter No. 18
    McGill University Alumni Newsletter #18 May 2016 The photo above shows the volcanoes of Bromo (mid-ground at 7,641 ft or 2,329 m) and Semeru (background at 12,060 ft or 3,676 m), both found on the island of Java, Indonesia. These two volcanoes are very active. Continuous small eruptions occur about every 20 minutes on Semeru while fumarole activity is ongoing in the crater of Bromo. Every few years large eruptions happen as well. The distinctive line in the midground (center of photo) results from an atmospheric inversion layer. On this day, it could be seen to descend with time. One hour before sunset, you were in the clouds surrounded by mist. Near sunset, however, the inversion layer dropped below you, creating this interesting line effect. It might not look like it, but the cone of Bromo was only about 2.5 mi (4 km) away; Semuru was approximately 14 mi (22 km) away. This is due to the fact that above the inversion layer the atmosphere is usually exceptionally clear. Photo taken on July 23, 2015. Note from the Chair Good news coming our way as we anxiously greet the arrival of Spring. After a number of years of budget cuts in education, funding of education has become a priority at both the Provincial and Federal levels and instead of facing further budget cuts, as the McGill administration had anticipated and planned for for the 2017 fiscal year, we can expect some reinvestments in post- secondary education. Like every other academic unit within the University, the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences suffered over the last few years, mostly through the loss of support staff, but we have fared better than most thanks to the generosity of our many donors, alumni and friends.

    GEOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION OF CANADA MINERALOGICAL ASSOCIATION OF CANADA 2006 JOINT ANNUAL MEETING MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC FIELD TRIP 4A : GUIDEBOOK MINERALOGY AND GEOLOGY OF THE POUDRETTE QUARRY, MONT SAINT-HILAIRE, QUÉBEC by Charles Normand (1) Peter Tarassoff (2) 1. Département des Sciences de la Terre et de l’Atmosphère, Université du Québec À Montréal, 201, avenue du Président-Kennedy, Montréal, Québec H3C 3P8 2. Redpath Museum, McGill University, 859 Sherbrooke Street West, Montréal, Québec H3A 2K6 1 INTRODUCTION The Poudrette quarry located in the East Hill suite of the Mont Saint-Hilaire alkaline complex is one of the world’s most prolific mineral localities, with a species list exceeding 365. No other locality in Canada, and very few in the world have produced as many species. With a current total of 50 type minerals, the quarry has also produced more new species than any other locality in Canada, and accounts for about 25 per cent of all new species discovered in Canada (Horváth 2003). Why has a single a single quarry with a surface area of only 13.5 hectares produced such a mineral diversity? The answer lies in its geology and its multiplicity of mineral environments. INTRODUCTION La carrière Poudrette, localisée dans la suite East Hill du complexe alcalin du Mont Saint-Hilaire, est l’une des localités minéralogiques les plus prolifiques au monde avec plus de 365 espèces identifiées. Nul autre site au Canada, et très peu ailleurs au monde, n’ont livré autant de minéraux différents. Son total de 50 minéraux type à ce jour place non seulement cette carrière au premier rang des sites canadiens pour la découverte de nouvelles espèces, mais représente environ 25% de toutes les nouvelles espèces découvertes au Canada (Horváth 2003).

    Université de Montréal La dominance mycorhizienne en tant que facteur local déterminant des processus écologiques forestiers Par Alexis Carteron Département de sciences biologiques Faculté des arts et des sciences Thèse présentée en vue de l’obtention du grade de Philosophiae Doctor (Ph.D.) en sciences biologiques Septembre 2020 © Alexis Carteron 2020 Université de Montréal Unité académique : Département de sciences biologiques, Faculté des arts et des sciences Cette thèse intitulée La dominance mycorhizienne en tant que facteur local déterminant des processus écologiques forestiers Présenté par Alexis Carteron A été évaluée par un jury composé des personnes suivantes Pierre-Luc Chagnon Président-rapporteur Etienne Laliberté Directeur de recherche Mark Vellend Codirecteur David Rivest Membre du jury Nicolas Fanin Examinateur externe i Résumé L'association mycorhizienne implique nombre de plantes et de champignons, étant sans doute la symbiose mutualiste la plus importante et la plus répandue au sein des écosystèmes terrestres. Étant donné que la plupart des arbres forment des mycorhizes arbusculaires ou des ectomycorhizes qui se distinguent par leur écophysiologie, il est judicieux de caractériser les forêts en fonction de leur dominance mycorhizienne afin d'en mesurer les impacts sur les processus écologiques. Ainsi, l'objectif de cette thèse est de quantifier les influences de la dominance mycorhizienne en forêt sur les propriétés abiotiques et biotiques du sol ayant un impact à l'échelle locale sur deux processus associés : la décomposition de la matière organique et la régulation de la diversité végétale. Les forêts étudiées, de dominance mycorhizienne très contrastée, présentent des propriétés physico- chimiques et des communautés microbiennes distinctes au niveau du sol, mais des patrons de distribution verticale des microorganismes du sol d'une similarité inattendue.
