AbstractThis 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.
Summary(Plain Language Summary, not published)
This map and the accompanying spatial files provide users with a flexible means of accessing the geology of the Canadian Arctic Islands. The present publication is one of fifteen collectively covering all of the Canadian Arctic Islands north and west of Baffin Island.
