This report attempts to classify, correlate, and characterize some of the regional-scale fault structures which, in part, accommodated the orogenic cycle that occurred from Silurian to Carboniferous time in northern Nova Scotia. After an introduction on the geological setting of Cape Breton Island, the report describes early tectonic thrusting in the Highlands shear zone & Cabot nappe, the Margaree shear zone & Late Devonian extension, and the Ainslie detachment & Carboniferous salt tectonics. Implications for the understanding of some lead-zinc mineralization are also discussed.

The Sedimentary Basins of the United States and Canada, Second Edition, focuses on the large, regional, sedimentary accumulations in Canada and the United States. Each chapter provides a succinct summary of the tectonic setting and structural and paleogeographic evolution of the basin it covers, with details on structure and stratigraphy. The book features four new chapters that cover the sedimentary basins of Alaska and the Canadian Arctic. In addition to sedimentary geologists, this updated reference is relevant for basin analysis, regional geology, stratigraphy, and for those working in the hydrocarbon exploration industry. - Features updates to existing chapters, along with new chapters on sedimentary basins in Alaska and Arctic Canada - Includes nearly 300 detailed, full-color paleogeographic maps - Written for general geological audiences and individuals working in the resources sector, particularly those in the fossil fuel industry
