Biostratigraphy and Paleontology of Middle-Upper Devonian Boundary Beds, Gypsum Cliffs Area, Northeastern Alberta


Book Description

"This report describes and illustrates two of the important Devonian fossil groups of the Slave Point Formation and Peace Point Member outcropping at Gypsum Cliffs on Peace River in northeastern Alberta. It is based on fossil collections made in 1977 and 1961 and incorporates detailed field observations made in 1956." --













Sedimentary Cover of the Craton in Canada


Book Description

The early chapters of the volume present data and interpretations of the geophysics of the craton and summarise, with sequential maps, the tectonic evolution of the craton. The main body of the text and accompanying plates and figures present the stratigraphy, structural history, and economic geology of specific sedimentary basins and regions. The volume concludes with a summary chapter in which the currently popular theories of cratonal tectonics are discussed and the unresolved questions are identified.










Biostratigraphy and Conodont Faunas of Upper Ordovician Through Middle Devonian Rocks, Eastern Arctic Archipelago


Book Description

"The lower and middle Paleozoic strata of the eastern Arctic Archipelago change rapidly laterally from thin, shallow-water platform deposits to thicker, deeper water basinal deposits. The difficulty in correlating such strata has been overcome in part through well controlled conodont zonation, and by supplementary dating using palynomorphs and megafaunas. Such precise dating and correlation are essential for success in the search for petroleum and other mineral deposits. The study will also help refine calibration of the geological time scale in other parts of the world." --
