This book was released on 1984 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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." --

Download or read book Geology Simplified Tectonic Assemblage Map of the Canadian Arctic Islands Northwest Territories Nunavut written by John Christopher Harrison and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 1983 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
