Record 2 1999-09-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geological and Other Scientific Names
OBS

A same designation could refer to a geographic or a geologic entity, sometimes with a slight variant in spelling or writing. It is important to distinguish one from the other and write each correctly according to the given context.

OBS

The Hare Bay klippe at the northern end of Great Northern Peninsula contains thrust slices of Maiden Point and Goose Cove Formations whose ages are unknown but are probably partly Cambrian.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Noms géologiques ou scientifiques
OBS

La règle concernant la majuscule au générique d'un nom géologique demeure imprécise. Habituellement, les noms de divisions stratigraphiques portent la majuscule et les entités de moindre importance n'en portent pas.

OBS

Une même désignation peut se référer à une entité géographique et à une entité géologique, parfois avec une légère variante. Il importe de bien distinguer l'une de l'autre et d'utiliser la graphie correcte selon le contexte.

OBS

Le klippe de Hare Bay, à l'extrémité nord de la péninsule Great Northern, renferme des lames de charriage des formations de Maiden Point et de Goose Cove (Cooper, 1937) dont on ignore l'âge, mais qui probablement datent en partie du Cambrien.
