| Abstract | This collection of data and description of lab protocols supplements publication (Kabanov, 2021). The diamond-drill cores from historical exploration wells of Northwest Territories, Canada, were sampled
over the period from 2013 to 2020 for the study of subaerial exposure profiles (paleosols and paleokarsts) and other facies in the shallow-marine (peritidal) carbonates of the Early-Middle Devonian Landry and Headless formations. Samples were
collected with hand tools under hand lens and, where required, binocular microscope. Stable carbon and oxygen measurements (delta-13C and delta-18O vs. VPDB) were performed at the Jan Veizer Stable Isotope Lab of the University of Ottawa. Mineralogy
of 18 samples were completed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses for bulk-rock and clay-size fractions at the Mineralogy Lab of GSC-Ottawa. Our analytical results provide the largest set of mineralogy and stable isotope data available from the
Landry and Headless formations and can be reused in future projects exploring the diagenetic pathways of isotopic reset in these strata and the follow-up studies of subaerial exposure profiles. We also describe the curation procedure and give sample
access information for the core and sample repository at GSC Calgary. |
