The characterization of carbonate production on rift basins is critical for understanding the nucleation and demise of reefs in tectonically active areas. A new petrographic and mineralogical analysis of Cambrian strata from the Avalon Zone in Newfoundland, based on scanning electron microscopy – ba...
