Barss, M.S., Bujak, J.P. and Williams, G.L., 1979. Palynological zonation and correlation of sixty-seven wells, eastern Canada. Geological Survey of Canada, paper 78-24, pp. 1-118. Ordovician to Pleistocene sediments in 67 wells from eastern Canada are dated, zoned and correlated using palynomorphs. Five hundred and eighty spore and pollen species, 591 dinoflagellate species and 16 acritarch and miscellaneous palynomorph species delineate 49 zones and subzones in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Scotian Shelf and Grand Banks, and 12 biostratigraphically significant assemblages on the Labrador Shelf. The wells analyzed contain a predominantly Carboniferous succession in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, an Upper Triassic to Pleistocene succession on the Scotian Shelf, Devonian to Carboniferous and Upper Triassic to Pleistocene successions on the Grand Banks, and Ordovician, Carboniferous and Cretaceous to Pleistocene successions on the Labrador Shelf.
