A unique fossil assemblage from the Devonian of the Northwest Territories: A search for evolutionary missing links in the rise of fish
Principal Investigator: Miyashita, Tetsuto
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5549. Through this field project, the hope is to accomplish two goals: 1) to fill in a major gap in, and transform knowledge of early vertebrate evolution through the analysis of new fossils from the Anderson River locality, which represent a poorly known interval of the geological time; and 2) to establish a line of publi...


Progressive behavioural innovation in Ediacaran and Cambrian burrowing animals from the Mackenzie Mountains (NWT, Canada)
Principal Investigator: Narbonne, Guy
Licensed Year(s): 2013 2012
Summary: The world’s earliest animals appeared in the Ediacaran Period about 580 million years ago, and soft worm-like animals capable of movement appeared suddenly worldwide 555 million years ago. The previous studies (Narbonne and Aitken, Palaeontology, 1990; MacNaughton and Narbonne, Palaios, 1999; Narbonne, The Rise of Animals, 2007) have shown that these fossils are especially well represented in 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...


Evolution of High Latitude Floras
Principal Investigator: Basinger, James F.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 1989 1988 1987
Summary: The researcher and his team will continue the study of the evolution of plants and climate in the very high latitudes, and will continue to assemble an extensive collection of fossil plants from northern Canada....


Determination of Fossil Plant DNA Sequences and Comparison with Contemporary Homologous Sequences
Principal Investigator: LePage, Ben A.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: The research will compare genes isolated from fossil trees with homologous contemporary genes to evaluated rates of evolution and reconstruct phylogenies....


Ordovician and Silurian Trilobites from the Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Chatterton, Brian
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1992 1991
Summary: The research will involve measuring rock sections and rocks for processing in the laboratory to extract trilobite fossils. The specimens will then be photographed, described and identified. Any new species will be named and their types deposited in the University of Alberta type repository. The distribution of these species will be mapped in time and space to better understand their evolution and ...


Precambrian - Early Cambrian fossils of the Mackenzie Mountains, western N.W.T.
Principal Investigator: Narbonne, Guy
Licensed Year(s): 2001 1999 1998 1996 1994 1992 1991 1989 1988
Summary: Dr. Narbonne and his team will continue work begun in 1982 in the Mackenzie Mountains. They will collect and study fossils in the rocks with the ultimate aim of understanding the origin and early evolutions of animal life....
