Abstract:

An operculum of Maclurites, first described by Billings in 1865, is redescribed from the original material collected at Cape Norman, northwestern Newfoundland, and from additional specimens from Ellesmere Island, Canadian Arctic. Based on indirect evidence, a very late to latest Early Ordovician age is assigned to the strata of the St. George Group that contains this fossil. This operculum has a paleoequatorial distribution. On the basis of its geometry, the operculum is interpreted as having a "concentric" growth pattern rather than a spiral one. If so, the complex coiling pattern assumed for

Abstract:

The Cape Cormorant Formation of the Table Head Group exposed on the Port au Port Peninsula, western Newfoundland, is composed of dark-brown to black shales with interbeds of thin calcareous silty and sandy distal turbidites. Distinctive carbonate conglomerates and breccias derived from the foundering shelf are occasionally found in the formation. The sediments accumulated in the foreland basin formed during the early stage of the Taconic orogeny. The faunas from the upper part of the Cape Cormorant Formation include graptolites, conodonts, and chitinozoans. The graptolites are well preserved,

We analysed distribution and abundance of common seabird species in mid and late summer, and estimated total numbers for the Southern Gulf, which was most intensively surveyed. Northern Gannets Morus bassanus were overall most abundant and widespread. Our at-sea estimate o

Offshore, spawners are common on the continental shelf but generally rare on the slope. Relative abundance of spawning individuals on the shelf is comparably high off northeast Newfoundland, within 100 km of the Newfoundland coast from Cape Freels to Cape Race, on central Grand Bank, and on St. Pierre Bank.

For adult snow crabs (Chionoecetes opilio), from the western Gulf of St. Lawrence, eastern and western Cape Breton Island, and eastern Newfoundland, we compared morphometric, meristic, electrophoretic, and fecundity characteristics. Our morphometric, meristic, and fecundity data indicated that snow crabs from the four areas are morphologically and biologically distinct; therefore, they represent four "phenotypic" or "biological" stocks. We propose that the differences in morphology are due largely to environmental effects on growth during juvenile stages. The electrophoretic data indicate that

Mid-Carboniferous magmatic and (or) rifting events, suggested on the basis of earlier Rb–Sr dating of the St. Lawrence Granite, are not supported by these new data. Both granites intrude major ductile and brittle structures that were active during the early Paleozoic, and they provide a younger age limit for major tectonic activity in the A

Upper Mississippian (middle Viséan) biohermal limestones, siliciclastics, evaporites, and red beds of the lower Codroy Group (correlative with the lower Windsor Group in Nova Scotia) bevel a rugged paleokarst of Late Devonian – Early Mississippian age on the Port au Port Peninsula, western Newfoundland. Laminated limestones (Ship Cove Formation) and overlying evaporites (Codroy Road Formation) are similar to the sequence in the Bay St. George Subbasin, southwestern Newfoundland. In the Port au Port region, this sequence is laterally equivalent to biohermal limestones and plant-bearing silicicl

Abstract:

Shallow-water (0–100 m depth) hydroid faunas reported from 26 locations along the western North Atlantic coast between the high Canadian Arctic archipelago and the Caribbean Sea were compared. Species numbers varied widely between locations, but were highest in the tropics and subtropics, lowest in arctic and subarctic waters, and intermediate in mid-latitudes. Percentages of species producing free medusae were lowest in high latitudes, intermediate in low latitudes, and highest in mid-latitudes (especially in estuaries). In a numerical analysis, similar hydroid faunas were identified at locat

Abstract:

Carbon-isotope stratigraphy of the Furongian (stage 10; Upper Cambrian) and Tremadocian (lowermost Ordovician) reveals distinct variations from the carbonates of the Berry Head and Watts Bight formations of the East Isthmus Bay section that accumulated in a shallow-marine setting on the eastern Laurentian platform in a passive margin setting in western Newfoundland, Canada. The East Isthmus Bay δ13C values show insignificant correlation with their Sr (R2 = 0.04), Mn (R2 = 0.001) and Fe (R2 = 0.02) counterparts, implying preservation of at least near-primary C-isotope compositions.

Abstract:

Research vessel survey data collected by Fisheries and Oceans Canada in the southern Gulf of St Lawrence (1971–2002) and Cabot Strait (1994–1997) were analysed to determine if Enchelyopus cimbrius the fourbeard rockling, distributed itself with larger individuals occurring in deeper water. A positive size–depth relationship was first observed for the European plaice, Pleuronectes platessa in the North Sea and has been reported for other fish. Positive relationships were found between the total length of E. cimbrius and depths where it occurred in this study. However, the biological relationshi

Measurements of colour alteration of acritarchs and spores (acritarch alteration index and thermal alteration index), random graptolite reflectance, and vitrinite reflectance are applied to determine regional thermal maturation and burial history.

Four cluster analyses were performed, which recognized 17 conodont communities in the Arenigian (Lower Ordovician) of western Newfoundland. The analyses include 69 598 identifiable conodont specimens recovered from 153 conodont-bearing samples from four stratigraphical sections representing the environmental settings of the platform, upper proximal slope, lower proximal slope, and distal slope. The distribution of conodont communities along the platform to slope environmental gradient shows that sea-level changes simultaneously affected the development and replacement of the conodont communiti

Abstract:

The Corner Brook–Glover Island region records the development of the internal domain of the Humber Zone and its relationship to the adjoining external domain and Dunnage Zone. The region preserves both the Laurentian margin basement–cover contact and the siliciclastic–carbonate transition within the cover sequence. Precambrian Grenville basement of the Corner Brook Lake Complex is the oldest lithostratigraphic unit and yielded a U/Pb zircon age of 1510 ± 6 Ma. Three main lithostratigraphic assemblages overlie basement: silicic and mafic igneous rocks of the Lady Slipper Pluton which yielded a

New U–Pb ages for late Precambrian volcanic and associated plutonic units in the Mira (Avalon) terrane of southeastern Cape Breton Island indicate that volcanic suites were erupted over a span of at least 100 Ma.

The most widespread volcanism and plutonism occurred at ca. 620 Ma in the East Bay Hills and Coxheath Hills belts, and probably the Sporting Mountain belt, as indicated by U–Pb ages and U–Pb maximum

Elaphostrongylus rangiferi was introduced to caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) of Newfoundland by infected reindeer (R. t. tarandus) from Norway and has caused at least two epizootics of cerebrospinal elaphostrongylosis (CSE), a debilitating neurologic disease. In an attempt to understand the conditions necessary for such outbreaks, we examined the effects of herd density and climatic factors on parasite abundance. The abundance of E. rangiferi was represented by counts of first-stage larvae in feces collected from young caribou (calves and yearlings) in 7 distinct caribou herds in Newfoundl

Abstract:

Spatial planning for marine areas of multi-species conservation concern requires in-depth assessment of the distribution of predators and their prey. Northern Gannets Morus bassanus are generalist predators that predate several different forage fishes depending on their availability. In the western North Atlantic, gannets employ different dive tactics while in pursuit of different prey types, performing deep, prolonged U-shaped dives when foraging on capelin (Mallotus villosus), and rapid, shallow, V-shaped dives when foraging on larger pelagic fishes. Therefore, much can be inferred about the

Abstract:

Antarctic marine organisms are characterised by a significant level of endemism. This is due to geological, climatological and oceanographic reasons, such as the break-up of Antarctida from Gondwana during the Cretaceous; the formation of a circumpolar current; the extremely low water temperatures (close to freezing); the short summer seasons. The South Shetland Islands (West Antarctic Peninsula) are one of 29 known biogeographic areas in the Southern Hemisphere (Griffiths et al. 2009). King George Island is the largest island from the South Shetlands and eight countries have their polar bases
