Book Description
Report on a detailed study of the lithology, stratigraphy, and physical volcanology of the Siluro-Devonian volcanic and sedimentary sequence of the Passamaquoddy Bay area of southwestern New Brunswick. Geological investigations began in 1984 and mapping was done on 1:10,000 scale aerial photographs with detailed stratigraphic sections measured bed by bed.

Peperite
Author: Ian P. Skilling
Publisher: Elsevier Science & Technology
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
This book is a collection of papers concerned with the processes and products of magma-sediment mingling and the origin of peperite. Three papers are concerned with physical modelling of magma-wet sediment interaction, whereas the majority of the papers describe a wide variety of peperite compositional and textural types, and discuss controls on their formation. The first paper reviews the current understanding of peperite generation, and serves as an extended introduction to the volume. Peperite is a common rock type generated in many volcanic and sub-volcanic environments. Its study is important for several reasons. Correct identification of peperite is critical in palaeoenvironmental reconstruction and relative chronology, as its presence can demonstrate contemporaneity of volcanism and sedimentation. Peperite may also record a snapshot of the processes that occur prior to hydromagmatic explosions, and which are otherwise not preserved in the resulting deposit. Its study can therefore provide information on the factors and mechanisms that influence the likelihood of such hazardous explosions. Peperite also indicates the presence of syn-volcanic sills that may be important sources of heat and/or fluids for co-eval hydrothermal systems.

Fifty Years of the Wilson Cycle Concept in Plate Tectonics
Author: R.W. Wilson
Publisher: Geological Society of London
ISBN: 1786203839
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 488
Book Description
Fifty years ago, Tuzo Wilson published his paper asking `Did the Atlantic close and then re-open?’. This led to the `Wilson Cycle’ concept in which the repeated opening and closing of ocean basins along old orogenic belts is a key process in the assembly and breakup of supercontinents. The Wilson Cycle underlies much of what we know about the geological evolution of the Earth and its lithosphere, and will no doubt continue to be developed as we gain more understanding of the physical processes that control mantle convection, plate tectonics, and as more data become available from currently less accessible regions. This volume includes both thematic and review papers covering various aspects of the Wilson Cycle concept. Thematic sections include: (1) the Classic Wilson v. Supercontinent Cycles, (2) Mantle Dynamics in the Wilson Cycle, (3) Tectonic Inheritance in the Lithosphere, (4) Revisiting Tuzo’s question on the Atlantic, (5) Opening and Closing of Oceans, and (6) Cratonic Basins and their place in the Wilson Cycle.
