Tremadocian carbonates of the lower St. George Group, Port au Port Peninsula, western Newfoundland: Lithostratigraphic setting of diagenetic, isotopic, and geochemistry studies
Detailed stratigraphic measurements and sampling of rocks of the lower St. George Group on the western shore of Isthmus Bay, Port au Port Peninsula, are the foundation for diagenetic, isotopic, and geochemistry studies of Tremadocian shallow-shelf carbonates in western Newfoundland.
