Fine-grained sediment transport in Chignecto Bay, Bay of Fundy, Canada

Latitudinal variation in the reproductive cycle and size of the northern rock barnacle Semibalanus balanoides (L.) (Cirripedia, Archaeobalanidae) in the Bay of Fundy

“…This is because of the prevalence of salt marshes and mudflats at that end of the Bay (Amos, 1987;Gordon, 1994). Samples taken in this study indicate that there is a significant increase in turbidity at Slack's Cove with other sites having similar and far lower turbidity.…”

Sedimentology and stratigraphy of a transgressive, muddy gravel beach: Waterside Beach, Bay of Fundy, Canada

“…Mud is sourced from the bay; sand from the outcrops surrounding Waterside Beach; and gravel and sand from reworking of glacial deposits exposed sub‐tidally. Sediment sourced from the Bay of Fundy is primarily fine‐grained, comprising silt and clay derived from erosion of the seafloor and Palaeozoic cliffs surrounding Chignecto Bay (Amos & Asprey, 1979; Amos, 1987; Amos et al. , 1991).…”

“…, 1991). In particular, Amos (1987) reports that suspended particulate matter in upper Chignecto Bay comprises 70–90% silt with approximately 10–20% clay and minor sand. This grain‐size distribution is similar (but slightly more silt‐rich) to those of mud deposits (D5 and D11) on Waterside Beach, which yield an average grain‐size distribution (and range) of 4% (1–7%) sand, 58% (50–66%) silt, and 38% (28–48%) clay.…”

“…Erosion of Palaeozoic and Triassic outcrops fringing Waterside Beach and Long Marsh Creek present a second major source of sediment. These outcrops predominantly comprise siltstone and sandstone with recessive shale beds (Amos & Asprey, 1979; Plint, 1986; Amos, 1987; St. Peter, 1996; McLeod & Johnson, 1999).…”

An Ichnological and Sedimentological Facies Model for Muddy Point-Bar Deposits

“…Previous estuarine research (Amos and Mosher 1985;Amos 1987;Dalrymple et al 1990; Dalrymple et al 1991;Dalrymple et al 1992) has shown the importance of the physical sedimentological criteria but generally understates the potential of biogenic sedimentary structures for the interpretation of marginal-marine deposits. Developing a detailed ichnological characterization is desirable if only to approach more-detailed paleogeographic models for application to the sedimentary record.…”
