Global and regional environmental signals of the Mississippian/Pennsylvanian strata in the Liard Basin Northwest Canada
chercheur principal: Fedorowski, Jerzy A.
Année(s) de permis: 2020 2019 2018
Résumé: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4655. The principal aim of this project is to examine the settlement, development and decline of the fossil corals as a response to environmental conditions in the Liard region during Mississippian to Early Pennsylvanian times (358.9 to 314.6 million years ago). The study will be conducted against the background of the worl...


Cambrian stratigraphy and paleontology
chercheur principal: Pratt, Brian R.
Année(s) de permis: 2019
Résumé: Sedimentary rocks of Cambrian age (~500 million years old) are the oldest Phanerozoic strata in the Mackenzie River valley region and record the spread of a shallow sea over much older strata. The approximate age of these rocks is known via trilobite fossils based on reconnaissance collections made in the 1960s and 2010s. The purpose of the project is to make more closely spaced fossil collections...


The Search for Early Fossil Sharks in Lower Devonian rocks of the Mackenzie Mountains, NWT
chercheur principal: Wilson, Mark V.H.
Année(s) de permis: 2013 1998 1996 1990
Résumé: The 2 objectives of this research project are: 1) to recover some of the oldest-known body fossils of sharks and their relatives as well as other associated fossils. The anatomy of the fossil species will be described in detail and published in international journals. These fossils will allow identification of fragments of related species found at other sites worldwide, and will allow the researc...


Cambrian stratigraphy
chercheur principal: Pratt, Brian R.
Année(s) de permis: 2012 2002 2000 1998
Résumé: The principal investigator has been working off and on for many years on the stratigraphy and paleontology of Cambrian strata of the Mackenzie Mountains. This is a critical region of North America because the record of sedimentation on the flank of the continent as it was over half a billion years ago is particularly extensive with little interruption. At the section of interest the lower part of ...


Palaeontology of the Summit Creek Formation, western Northwest Territories, Canada
chercheur principal: Vavrek, Matthew J
Année(s) de permis: 2012
Résumé: The research team will be prospecting for and collecting Cretaceous fossils from the Summit Creek Formation in order to better understand what terrestrial biodiversity was like at high latitudes at that time. This project is a continuation of the collaborative research program on ancient biodiversity in the Canadian Arctic. Recently, the research team completed work supported by Polar Continental ...


Cambrian biostratigraphy in the Mackenzie Mountains, NWT
chercheur principal: Butterfield, Nicholas J
Année(s) de permis: 2010
Résumé: 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 ...


Stratigraphic and paleontological reconnaissance of Devonian geology, Hay River area, NWT
chercheur principal: Schneider, Christie L
Année(s) de permis: 2009
Résumé: This year, the research purpose is to investigate potential geological localities for work next year, so direct involvement with local communities and guides will be minimal. The researcher intends to identify and talk with people who have outfitting and guide businesses, and those who have knowledge of potential research areas for next summer’s research. The objectives of the proposed researc...


Collaborative Research: A Sequence, Chemo- and Biostratigraphic Study of Late Early Cambrian Rocks, Southern Selwyn Basin, Mackenzie Mountains, NWT
chercheur principal: Pope, Michael
Année(s) de permis: 2003 2002 2001
Résumé: 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...


Basin Analysis of the Liard Basin.
chercheur principal: Jowett, David
Année(s) de permis: 2001
Résumé: The research team will complete a study of the Cretaceous strata in the Liard Basin area, using micropaleontology, geochemistry and various correlation techniques. Fieldwork will begin on 1 June 2001, and continue through most of July. The research team will access remote rock outcrops by helicopter, or in some cases by inflatable boat on some of the major rivers (Liard River and Petitot River)....


Paleontology and sedimentology of Late Proterozoic Little Dal Reefs, Mackenzie Mountains, NWT.
chercheur principal: Turner, Elizabeth C
Année(s) de permis: 2001 1999 1998 1996 1994 1992 1991 1989 1988
Résumé: Two people will be transported to the field sites via helicopter from Norman Wells. All ground work is done on foot. Data collection involves photography of rock outcrops, measurement of stratigraphic sections using a tape measure, description of outcrops, and selective sampling of about 100 fist-sized rock samples using a geological hammer....
