Journal Article
Published: 26 October 2010
Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences (2010) 47 (11): 1427–1443.
...Georgia Pe-Piper; David J.W. Piper Abstract Lignites and coals, because of their low sedimentation rates of terrigenous detritus, may preserve a record of volcanic ash fall. Lignite from the Lower Cretaceous Chaswood Formation in central Nova Scotia was studied to identify whether any volcanic ash...
Journal Article
Published: 25 November 2008
Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences (2008) 45 (10): 1083–1094.
...David J.W. Piper; Georgia Pe-Piper; Shannon Ledger-Piercey Abstract The fluvial Chaswood Formation records a complex history of tectonic reactivation of basement horsts and shedding of clastic sediment. Previous mineralogical studies indicate sources from both local and more distant basement rocks...
