Paleomagnetism of Carboniferous strata from the Stellarton Gap

Deposition of Carboniferous sediments within the Stellarton Graben of Nova Scotia was controlled by displacements on the bounding Hollow and Cobequid fault systems. Periods of both normal and transcurrent faulting have occurred on both faults. As a result, models for the development of the Stellarton Basin have included a pull-apart basin and a thermal subsidence basin. Paleomagnetic study of stratigraphic sequences from within the graben …
