.... A bitumen from the Canadian Salt Company Ltd. salt mine at Pugwash on the southern shore of Northumberland Strait was also analyzed. This was a sample of an oil seep that accumulated in one level of the mine within Windsor Group evaporites. The biomarker distributions of this sample are consistent...

...Robert Evans Abstract The Pugwash evaporite body, which lies within zone B of the Mississippian Windsor group, was discovered in 1953, and has been mined for salt since 1959. At Pugwash the Windsor forms an elliptically shaped inlier within an anticline in Pennsylvanian Pictou group sediments.Parts...

... between Finlay Point and Coal Mine Point ( Fig. 1b, c) ( Brown 1998). Evaporites have been studied in salt mines within the Pugwash Diapir ( Carter 1990) ( Fig. 1a), where intense deformation has produced sheath folds generated during constrictional flow of halite up the diapiric neck. The exposed...

Oil production in New Brunswick continued to decline, but gas production for the second consecutive year showed a minor increase. Holdings on land were relatively stable; however...

Oil was seen in small cavities of Windsor gypsum from a quarry at Cheverie ( Fletcher, 1903 ), in the samples from the Amherst well, and in a core from a hole south of Falmouth ( Bancroft, 1946 ). In the Mount Denison area, two gypsum test holes cut several bituminous shale zones...
