| Abstract | The Mesozoic and Tertiary beds exposed along the north shore of Lake Hazen were studied and sections were measured. Triassic sandstones and shales have been identified and tentatively correlated with
the Bjorne, Schei Point and Heiberg Formations of western Ellesmere Island. The Jurassic and Cretaceous Awingak, Deer Bay, Isachsen, Christopher and Hassel sandstone and shale formations may also be represented. About 6, OOO feet of Mesozoic beds
were measured and the total thickness may approach 8, OOO feet. At least 500 feet of coal-bearing Tertiary sandstone, siltstone and shale overlie the tilted and eroded Mesozoic formations. |
