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
Kyanite-sillimanite-biotite-spinel-garnet schist
Description
An account of the resource
Macroscopic:This schist is lamprophyric, meaning it has a low silica content, thus little to no quartz. The sample comes from a large xenolith in the Popes Harbour dike. <br />Microscopic: Reaction textures are present in thin section. Thin section pictures in XPL unless otherwise noted in the title of the picuture. Thin sections are 3mm across.
