The life history of Phaeosaccion collinsii Farlow, a species which is known from a single locality in Nova Scotia, has been completed in culture. There was no indication of a sexual phase and zoospores gave rise directly to the tubular thallus. Completion of the life history occurred at 5 °C only. At higher temperatures spores failed to germinate, or growth and differentiation were suppressed. Light intensities exceeding 100 ft-c inhibited spore germination, although growth and differentiation were not similarly affected. In nature mature plants occur sublittorally, and are present only in spring when the water temperature is around 5 °C. Zoospore flagellation is of the typical heterokont type with the flimmer bearing bilateral hairs. On this basis P. collinsii can be placed either in the Chrysophyceae or Phaeophyceae.

A diabase dike about 140 km long (the Shelburne dike) cuts in a northeasterly direction across the southwestern part of Nova Scotia. The dike, recently dated at 201 Ma, forms part of a major Appalachian system of diabase dikes and basaltic flows of early Mesozoic age, emplaced during the first stages of opening of the present Atlantic Ocean.The Shelburne dike is tholeiitic and quartz normative. Its chemistry resembles that of the Palisade sill of New Jersey, but differs substantially from the more primitive magnesian composition of a similar dike on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland. A more advanced stage of differentiation is reflected also in the composition of its main minerals (augite, pigeonite, zoned orthopyroxene, calcic plagioclase). Such chemical variations among the roughly contemporaneous diabase dikes of the northern Appalachians complicate the existing petrogenetic and tectonic models of the development of the Appalachian dike swarm.
