Book Description
"This report describes the surficial geology of 64,000 km2 of Canada's most northern mainland and complements of a similar report on Somerset Island which lies immediately north of Boothia Peninsula being separated from it by the very narrow waters of Bellot Strait. The report discusses the potential use of geological information to future land use projects and to mineral exploration and presents new interpretations regarding the structure and dynamics of the northern part of the last ice sheet to cover Canada." --

Book Description
This map and geodatabase illustrate the geology of the Canadian Arctic Islands including all lands north and west of Baffin Island. Major features include high-grade Archean and Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary and granitoid rocks of Ellesmere and lands to south and southwest. To the north and west is Cambrian to Devonian cover that grades to deformed rocks of the Ellesmerian Orogen on Ellesmere Island and in the central and western Arctic Islands. The Ellesmerian Orogen features Devonian molasse detached on Ordovician evaporites, outer shelf carbonates of Ellesmere Island detached in the Neoproterozoic, deep water strata including volcanics and turbidites, and Pearya terrane, accreted to ancestral North America in the Silurian. Unconformable on all this are Carboniferous to Paleogene strata of Sverdrup Basin which features a second deformation belt of Paleogene age, the Eurekan Orogen. Youngest rocks are Neogene and widely represented in the western Arctic Islands from Meighen to Banks islands.

Book Description
This map and the related geodatabase illustrate the bedrock geology of eastern Devon Island, Coburg Island, and southern Ellesmere Island. Major features of the area include: high-grade Neoarchean and Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary and granitoid rocks of the Rae craton and Inglefield Orogen, unconformable and mostly flat-lying Cambrian to Lower Devonian platformal strata, and (on Ellesmere Island) the Middle and Upper Devonian foreland clastic wedge associated with the Ellesmerian Orogen.

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 90
Book Description
This report presents surface and subsurface bedrock data and stratigraphic and structural imterpretations for the very thick succession of Mesozoic rocks exposed in the south-central part of Sverdrup Basin and relates these to a conceptual model for its evolution. Both the data and the new concepts presented will be of assistance to those engaged in assessing Canada's oil and natural gas resources.

ISBN:
Category : Geology
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
Describes the geology of an area covering about 82,000 square kilometres in north central Baffin Island, beginning with an introduction on the area's location, access, physiography, climate, general geology, and previous studies. Subsequent chapters cover the geology of the Archean to Cretaceous and Recent formations, regional geochemistry, regional geochronology, regional & contact metamorphism, economic geology, and structural geology. The final chapter is a regional synthesis with general comments on structural subdivisions, the nature of their boundaries, regional correlations, and geological history.
