Geological Mapping of Southwestern Nova Scotia

This digital product is a compilation of geological data which was collected as part of the mapping of the Meguma Terrane of southwestern Nova Scotia by C.E. White. The principal goals of this project are to produce a series of 1:50 000 scale geological bedrock maps of the area, to describe and interpret the sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic and deformational history of the Cambrian to Early Devonian metamorphic rocks, and to evaluate the area’s economic potential. The data was used to create Open File Maps OFM ME 2012-076 to 2012-101, compiled by C. E. White, 2012. The digital product was created by Geoscience and Mines Branch staff. The original digital data was compiled from a number of sources and supplemented by field done during the course of the project. The digital product contains layers for geological features such as: age dates, anticlines/synclines, areas of concentrated drilling, drillholes, dykes, faults, fossils, bedrock geologic units, geological contacts, gold districts, mines, mineral occurrences, small outcrops, quarries, shafts, stockworks, structural data, and shear zones.

本数字产品为南诺瓦斯科舍西南部梅古马地体的地质数据汇编，该数据收集工作由C.E. White负责进行的地貌测绘项目。该项目的核心目标在于制作一系列1:50 000比例尺的地质床岩地图，描述并阐释寒武纪至早泥盆纪变质岩的沉积、岩浆、变质及变形历史，并评估该区域的经济潜力。数据被用于编制由C. E. White于2012年编制的开放文件地图（Open File Maps）OFM ME 2012-076至2012-101。该数字产品由地球科学和矿业分支机构的工作人员创建。原始数字数据从多个来源汇编，并在项目过程中通过实地调查进行补充。该数字产品包含以下地质特征图层：年龄日期、背斜/向斜、集中钻井区、钻孔、岩墙、断层、化石、床岩地质单元、地质接触带、金矿区、矿山、矿化点、小型露头、采石场、竖井、矿脉、结构数据和剪切带。
