Shale Basin Evolution in Central NWT (2019)
Principal Investigator: Terlaky, Viktor
Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: The objective is to scope the Imperial Formation in order to develop a more extensive future study of this formation, and to sample the sites for conodont fossil bearing carbonates in order to better age date the Horn River Group deposits. At each site the rock exposure will be photographed in detail. At Mountain River and Gayna Gorge the outcrop will be sampled for conodont fossil bearing car...

Western Imperial Formation
Principal Investigator: Rose, Rachael
Licensed Year(s): 2011
Summary: The objective of this study is to record the succession of rocks and collect some samples for further analysis. The researchers would take pictures of the rocks at the locations in order to support the interpretations made. From these observations, interpretations on the Devonian environment can be made. Rock succession and features within the rocks will be recorded in a notebook and the corres...

Cambrian biostratigraphy in the Mackenzie Mountains, NWT
Principal Investigator: Butterfield, Nicholas J
Licensed Year(s): 2010
Summary: The primary objective of this study is to document the sequence of trilobite occurrences in the Mount Cap Formation, and to apply this to the developing international scheme for correlating Cambrian rocks. The importance of the Mount Cap fossils lies in the identification of a key trilobite species that has not previously been reported from North America. The research plan is to collect fossils ...

Paleontology of the Cretaceous-Tertiary Boundary in the Arctic of the Northwest Territories, Canada.
Principal Investigator: Longrich, Nicholas R
Licensed Year(s): 2010
Summary: To better understand how the K-T extinction affected Polar Regions, and whether the extinction was more severe in the High Arctic, the researchers will search for dinosaur and mammal fossils in the Brackett Basin. Previous work by the Geological Survey of Canada has found Cretaceous and Palaeocene rocks of the Summit Creek Formation along the Mackenzie, and to the south, in the Tertiary Hills. The...

Collaborative Research: A Sequence, Chemo- and Biostratigraphic Study of Late Early Cambrian Rocks, Southern Selwyn Basin, Mackenzie Mountains, NWT
Principal Investigator: Pope, Michael
Licensed Year(s): 2003 2002 2001
Summary: The Early Cambrian is an important time in Earth history for it records the widespread radiation of animals during significant climatic, sea level, and tectonic changes. This project will be a stratigraphic, geochemical, and paleontological study of high...
