Abstract:

The Lower Devonian Sainte-Marguerite volcanic rocks are part of a Silurian–Devonian volcanic sequence deposited between the Taconian and Acadian orogenies in the Gaspé Peninsula, Quebec, Canada. The Sainte-Marguerite unit includes basaltic and dacitic lava flows with calc-alkaline and volcanic-arc affinities. Such affinities are also recorded by the trace-element signature in Lower Silurian and most Lower Devonian volcanic units of the Gaspé Peninsula. However, most of the other Silurian–Devonian volcanic rocks occurring in the Gaspé Peninsula have been previously interpreted to have erupted i

Abstract:

Extensive field studies and evaluation of previously published reports reveal a moss flora of at least 310 species for the Gaspé Peninsula. Forty species are reported for the first time from the peninsula, and Brachythecium glaciale is new to Quebec. While the Gaspé flora cannot be considered a distinctive one within the Gulf of St. Lawrence region, the large number of rare species is significant. Their presence in the Gaspé can be attributed to the diverse geology and topography of the peninsula. The bulk of the moss flora is clearly of boreal affinity, but many species have temperate, montan

The Baie Verte – Brompton Line (BBL), the surface expression of the Taconian suture in the Canadian Appalachian Orogen, extends from southern Quebec to the northeast end of Newfoundland. In the Quebec Appalachians, the BBL was previously located under the post-Taconian cover rocks between the Eastern Townships and Gaspé Peninsula. New geological data and reinterpretation of gravimetric and aeromagnetic data suggest that the BBL follows the southern edge of the Cambrian–Ordovician rocks of northern Gaspé Peninsula and is displaced by Middle Devonian strike-slip faults on the southern part of th

Abstract:

Carbonate sedimentation occurred over most of eastern Gaspé Peninsula in Early Devonian time. The resulting succession, known as the Upper Gaspé Limestones, is a 500–1800 m thick unit outcropping in the Connecticut Valley – Gaspé Synclinorium. Detailed stratigraphic and sedimentologic work allows recognition of important thickness and lithofacies variations in a north–south-oriented transect in the eastern part of the peninsula. Variations are spatially associated with Acadian (Middle Devonian) dextral strike-slip faults. Three lithotectonic domains are proposed and interpreted; they are, from

The Honorat Group of southern Gaspé consists of two formations: the Arsenault and the Garin. The Arsenault Formation, heretofore considered barren, has yielded a graptolite faunule indicative of a Llanvirn–Llandeilo age (early Middle Ordovician), suggesting a correlation with the lower Mictaw Group of Gaspé as revised by de Broucker. A hiatus of indeterminate magnitude, corresponding to the Taconic unconformity, probably separates the Arsenault Formation from the overlying Garin Formation. The Garin has yielded graptolites ranging from the upper Climacograptus spiniferus Zone to the Paraclimat

Abstract:

The Shickshock Sud fault has a history of Ordovician (Taconian), Silurian (Salinic), and Devonian (Acadian) movements. Taconian deformation involving ductile dextral oblique-slip faulting is recorded in Cambrian rocks in the footwall of the Shickshock Sud fault. Metabasalt and metaarkose at amphibolite grade are converted into phyllonite and mylonitic schist. Shear bands, asymmetric garnet porphyroclasts, CS fabrics, and mica-fish textures indicate dextral shearing. The regional sense of shear is top to west and southwest on generally southeast dipping shear zones. Hornblende of metabasalt yi

Abstract:

The uppermost Lower Silurian and Upper Silurian Gascons and West Point Formations of the southern Gaspé Peninsula were deposited under a broad range of environmental conditions from deep offshore-shelf to reef facies. Halysitid and auloporid tabulate corals occur in a number of facies and show a high degree of endemism.Two species of Halysitidae and three species of Auloporida are found in these formations. Both halysitids have been previously described from this region. The auloporids include the new species Syringopora minuta and another species that may represent the first known Silurian oc

Silurian strata of Atlantic Canada and southern Québec locally preserve common fossil crinoids, albeit mostly as disarticulated remains. New crinoids from the Chaleurs Group, West Point Formation (Ludlow to Pridoli?; Upper Silurian) of the Gaspé Peninsula include Iocrinus? maennili (Yeltysheva) (otherwise known from the Katian of Estonia), Bystrowicrinus (col.) depressus sp. nov. and Cyclocyclicus (col.) sp. aἀ. C. (col.) echinus Donovan. On the basis of both its gross morphology and stratigraphic position, Iocrinus? maennili is unlikely to be an iocrinid disparid, a family that became extinct

Abstract:

The Mont Logan Nappe is part of the Taconian internal domain of the Quebec Appalachians, and is entirely made up of synrift to passive margin elastics and volcanics of the Shickshock Group. Rocks of the Mont Logan Nappe were affected by both Taconian and Acadian deformations but regional prograde metamorphism is Taconian and limited to the D1 deformational event. Thermobarometry and mineral assemblages indicate that the metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks of the Mont Logan Nappe have recorded peak temperatures in the range 610–700 °C under pressures of approximately 600–700 MPa, and that pr

Abstract:

The Upper Silurian – Lower Devonian volcanic rocks in the southern Gaspé Peninsula of the Quebec Appalachians crop out at the northeast end of the Connecticut Valley – Gaspé Synclinorium. These shallow marine and subaerial sequences reach a thickness of up to at least 2000 m and comprise two groups: (1) the Late Silurian volcanic rocks, which are mainly transitional alkalic–tholeiitic basalts with steeply sloping REE patterns; (2) the Early Devonian volcanic rocks, which include a significant proportion of intermediate rocks in addition to tholeiitic basalts.

Two species, Heliolites laxus and Heliolites distinctus, are new. A revised concept of the genus Heliolites is proposed. The Heliolitidae from this region show a substantial degree of endemism and are most similar to northern European faunas.The dist

Abstract:

In 1890, the interior of the Québec-Labrador peninsula was still virtually unexplored. Ten years later, the blank on the map had been filled : geology, physio-graphy, climate, vegetation, fauna and inhabitants of the region were known, at least in their great lines, thanks to the remarkable amount of exploratory work done by the Canadian geologist A. P. Low. In thirteen seasons, Low sailed, canoed, dog-sledded and snowshoed some 10,000 miles in and around the peninsula. He gave the first accurate picture of the country, traced the outline of the Labrador Trough and gave the first description o

Melanosclerites are rod-shaped, pseudochitinous microfossils of problematic affinity. They have not been widely studied. The first North American discovery of melanosclerites is here reported; Melanostylus coronifer and Melanosteus acutus (the latter with two subspecies), of Devonian (Late Siegenian) age, were discovered in the Indian Cove Formation of the Upper Gaspé Limestones from the Gaspé Peninsula, Quebec, Canada.These melanosclerites bear a strong resemblance to the modern cubomedusa polyp Carybdea alata and the planula stages of the hydrozoan Pennaria tiarella.

Abstract:

We used several spatial and temporal scales to determine space and habitat use of the caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) of the Gaspé Peninsula. Thirty-five radio-collared caribou were followed from November 1998 to April 2001. Habitat use was studied by superimposing radiolocations on ecoforestry maps using five predefined habitat types (deciduous, immature, mature spruce, mature fir, and barren). At a finer scale, we tracked caribou in forested areas during winter 2000 and 2001 in order to describe physical and biological characteristics of foraging tracks and used stands. Our results indic

Abstract:

This paper examines the factors involved in important windthrows that occured in November 1994 in two regions of Québec. Windthrown areas were mapped from aerial photos. The storm was reconstituted at different scales by using the MC2 model developed by Environment Canada and results were overlayed with windthrow mapping and forest-ecological maps. Logistic regression was used for the main combinations of variables to test the effect of wind speed, surface deposit, stand type and age. No effect of wind speed could be demonstrated. However, the damage level increased with increasing stand propo
