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
Biotite-Muscovite Schist
Description
An account of the resource
Macroscopic: Biotite, muscovite schist. Parts of the outcrop are migmatic as a result of intrusion by various phases of the Port Mouton Pluton. Microscopic: Coarse grained biotite, muscovite and quartz. Thin section pictures in XPL unless otherwise noted in the title of the picuture. Thin sections are 3mm across.<br /><br />Migmatites: They are created when a metamorphic rock spartially melts, and then that melt recrystallizes. This creates a mixture of the unmelted metamorphic sections with the recrystallized section.

(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.

Title
A name given to the resource
Staurolite-garnet-biotite schist
Description
An account of the resource
Macroscopic: Staurolite, garnet, biotite porphyroblastic, chlorite bearing, muscovite schist. Both garnets and staurolite are idiomorphic with the former highly poikiloblastic. The foliation in the schist bends around the porphyroblastic phases indicating the porphyroblasts were formed earlier during metamorphism. Microscopic: Both thin section pictures show the texture of the fine grained biotite around garnet and staurolite phenocrysts. Thin section pictures in XPL unless otherwise noted in the title of the picuture. Thin sections are 3mm across.

Macroscopic: Mesocratic fibrolitic double micaceous pinstripped gneiss. High reflectivity denotes a high concentration of foliated micas. Migmatized texture indicates of the rock indicates incipient melting. Microscopic: This sample contains irregularly shaped muscovite and silimanite which indicates that the muscovite was breaking down to form silimanite due the heat and pressure of metamorphism. Cordierite also present in thin section. Thin section pictures in XPL unless otherwise noted in the title of the picuture.

(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
(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
Garnet-muscovite bearing granitic pegmatite
Description
An account of the resource
Macroscopic: Garnet-muscovite bearing granitic pegmatite. Visible, green beryl may be present as beryl is often associated with pegmatites. The mineralogy is typical of sedimentary protolith granites which supports the hypothesis that the basement of the Maguma Terrane is pelitic. Thin section pictures in XPL unless otherwise noted in the title of the picuture. Thin sections are 3mm across.

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.
