Title
A name given to the resource
(NS) Meta-Pelite Suite -- Shelburne, Nova Scotia
Description
An account of the resource
Samples from the Shelburne area representative of the full range of metamorphic grades. This suite includes a high grade pelitic xenolith as well as samples of the Shelburne granite and aluminum-rich pegmatites. Furthermore a lampophric dyke that intruded from the basement rock to the Meguma Terrace is featured.

Title
A name given to the resource
Amphibole (actinolite) in epidote, chlorite, garnet calcsilicate rock
Description
An account of the resource
Macroscopic: Porphyroblastic amphibole in epidote, chlorite, and garnet calcsilicate rock. This sample represent the metamorphism of calcarious concretions in beds of quartzite to a schist. The formation this samples comes from has considerable mineralogical variation yielding some garnet rich and some epidote rich zones. The hand sample has a mineral zone consisting of garnets. Microscopic: Large amphibole phenocryst observed as well as quartz and chlorite. Thin section pictures in XPL unless otherwise noted in the title of the picuture. Thin sections are 3mm across.
