Provenance of detrital muscovite in Cambrian Avalonia of Maritime Canada: 40Ar/39Ar ages and chemical compositions

We report single-grain ages for detrital muscovite separated from sandstone samples from five localities in southern New Brunswick and southeastern Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, and from two qua...
