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; ...

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 ...

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 ...

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) ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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. ...
