ProgramGEM2: Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals TransGEM
Released2022 12 20; 2023 09 14
AbstractThe Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals (GEM) program (2010-2020) provided a unique opportunity to advance the current level of understanding of the geological history of the Canadian North. In this contribution, based on the Trans-GEM Event Stratigraphy activity, a compilation of Mesozoic-Cenozoic stratigraphic data from across the GEM program regions and beyond is presented, with a focus on biostratigraphic events, using TimeScale Creator, a JAVA package that facilitates the compilation and comparison of large amounts of stratigraphic data while keeping track of changing absolute ages. The '2020 Canada datapack', which incorporates some information re-evaluated and refined from an earlier datapack, includes schemes using dinoflagellate cysts, spores and pollen, foraminifers and conodonts, and a new synthesis of Canadian Arctic Jurassic ammonite and Buchia bivalve biostratigraphy. This datapack will continue to be augmented after completion of the GEM program and will become a major tool in supporting an understanding of Canada's sedimentary basins, their resource potential and management.
Summary(Plain Language Summary, not published)
The Geo-mapping for Energy and Mineral (GEM) Program (2008-2020) has provided a unique opportunity to advance our understanding of the geology of the Canadian North. In this contribution, we present a compilation of Mesozoic-Cenozoic stratigraphic data from GEM regions and beyond, focusing on biostratigraphic events, using TimeScale Creator (TsC), a JAVA package that facilitates the compilation and comparison of large amounts of stratigraphic data while keeping track of changing age calibrations in millions of years. The 2020 Canada datapack, which also incorporates information checked and refined from an earlier datapack, includes schemes from various fossil groups, and a re-evaluation of the use of Jurassic ammonites and species of the bivalve Buchia. We envisage the datapack will continue to be augmented and become a major tool in supporting an understanding of Canada's sedimentary basins, their resource potential and management.
