Carboniferous Stratigraphy and Structural Geology of New Brunswick, Canada

摘要: The Carboniferous stratigraphy of New Brunswick is described in some detail and the structure discussed illustrated by geological maps cross sections. An attempt made to record many data accumulated surface mapping seismic, gravimeter, magnetometer surveys, interpret them light recent wildcat drilling other subsurface information. Particular emphasis placed on use seismic surveying rationalizing complex area interpreting attitude faults depth. It felt that sufficient information now at hand provide a clearer picture area. A new subdivision Pennsylvanian strata presented. time break between Mississippian pre-Enrage, coinciding with major period deformation. still older deformation recognized within Moncton group; this marks close Horton time. Due lack control greater part basin absence lithological or paleontological horizon markers generally, it usually impossible subdivide Upper Red Bed series which mapped as group. Accordingly, although Hillsborough formation shown belonging group, definitely being post-Horton age such more closely related Windsor Abundant evidences oil exist large structures could accumulate are known occur; however, date has failed find suitable permeability.
