Online_Linkage: Description: Abstract: The Westphalian Stellaton Basin is located on a complex of faults in central mainland Nova Scotia. The basin occurs at the junction between the Cobequid Fault to the west, and the Hollow Fault to the east. The Stellarton Basin contains the entire Pictou Coalfield and has historically been the site of substantial mining; more recently the basin has been explored for coal methane. As a result of many years of coal exploration, the basin contains over 400 recorded boreholes. Approximately 35 coal seams and about 60 oil shale units may be correlated laterally between boreholes (e.g. Naylor et al. 1989). Purpose: Supplemental_Information: Data set is in English.
