Tectonic subsidence analysis of the Williston Basin
(1991)
The Williston Basin is one of a number of North American intracratonic basins whose subsidence is poorly understood. The Basin is circular in shape and contains nearly 5 km of preserved sedimentary rocks at its center; ...
History of the fluids associated with the Proterozoic Star Lake lode-gold deposit, northern Saskatchewan, Canada
(1990-01)
The Early Proterozoic Star Lake pluton in northern
Saskatchewan, Canada, hosts several auriferous quartz veins
that were deposited along an array of subparallel
northeasterly-striking shear zones. Gold mineralization ...
Diffraction spectroscopy of metalloproteins
(2014-04-02)
X-ray absorption is not only element specific, but atom specific: two atoms of the same element in different states or in different neighbourhoods will have slightly different absorption characteristics. These energy ...
Re-Os dating of algal laminites : reduction-enrichment of metals in the sedimentary environment and evidence for new geoporphyrins
(2004)
The principal aim of this study is the evaluation of algal laminites as appropriate substrates for the application of the Re-Os chronometer. Devonian Keg River algal laminites produced an isochron date (382.2 ± 6.9 Ma) ...
Geochemistry and petrogenesis of unaltered and altered volcanic sequences in the southern Abitibi greenstone belt
(1995-01-01)
The Abitibi greenstone belt is a volcanic-plutonic dominated subprovince of the Archean Superior structural province. In the southern volcanic zone (SVZ) of the Abitibi greenstone belt, there are numerous, well preserved, ...
Halogen-element (F, Cl, and Br) behaviour in apatites, scapolite, and sodalite : an experimental investigation with field applications
(2005-08-03)
This is the first systematic experimental investigation of partitioning of Br between apatites and coexisting melts and the uptake of Br by scapolite and sodalite. Twenty-nine partitioning experiments between fluorapatite ...
Mineralogical Characterization of Uranium Ores, Blends and Resulting Leach Residues from Key Lake Pilot Plant, Saskatchewan, Canada
(2014-11-24)
The production and storage of uranium mine mill tailings have the potential to contaminate local groundwater and surface waters with metals and metalloids. As such, an understanding of the solids reservoirs for potential ...
THE MIDDLE DEVONIAN WINNIPEGOSIS FORMATION OF WEST-CENTRAL SASKATCHEWAN
(1971-05)
The Winnipegosis Formation of west-central Saskatchewan consists of three members which are, in ascending order, the Lower Winnipegosis Member (Lower Member), the upper Winnipegosis Member (Upper Member) and the Ratner ...
Seismic delineation of the southern margin of the middle Devonian prairie evaporite in the Elk Point Basin, south-central Saskatchewan
(2005-09-14)
The present study focuses on delineation of the southern edge of the middle Devonian Prairie Evaporite (PE) in south-central Saskatchewan. The purpose of this work was to improve the accuracy and resolution of subsurface ...
Late Silurian and Early Devonian fossil plants of Bathurst Island, arctic Canada
(1998-01)
Early land plant fossils were retrieved from Bathurst Island, Arctic Canada. These plants
are preserved as compressions, impressions or rarely pyrite permineralizations in rocks of Late
Silurian and Early Devonian age. ...
