Lithogeochemistry, petrology, and the acid-generating potential of the Goldenville and Halifax groups and associated granitoid rocks in the metropolitan Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia, Canada

Abstract: Detailed geological mapping of the Goldenville and Halifax groups in metropolitan Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia, resulted in two-fold subdivision of both groups. The Goldenville Group was divided into the metasandstone (feldspathic wacke)-dominated Taylors Head formation and the overlying, metasiltstone-dominated, Mn-rich Beaverbank formation. The Halifax Group was divided into the Cunard formation, dominated by sulphide-rich slate, and the overlying Bluestone formation, consisting of mainly metas… Show more

“…NW-striking faults (Fig. 2) are postulated beneath Halifax Harbour (Mill Cove Fault) and along Northwest Arm (Arm Fault) by White et al (2008) and White and Goodwin (2011) These are parallel to a well developed family of sinistral faults on the Nova Scotia Eastern Shore (Fig. 1) mapped by Henderson et al (1986).…”

“…)-Early Ordovician siliciclastic turbidites (e.g. Schenk 1997) that make up the Meguma Supergroup (White 2008). These turbidites are sub-divided into a lower, largely psammitic Goldenville Group and an upper, largely pelitic Halifax Group, and are interpreted as having been deposited in a rift between Gondwana and Avalonia that may have formed part of the system along which these two crustal blocks separated with the opening of the Rheic Ocean (Waldron et al 2009).…”
