The Search for Early Fossil Sharks in Lower Devonian rocks of the Mackenzie Mountains, NWT
Principal Investigator: Wilson, Mark V.H.
Licensed Year(s): 2013 1998 1996 1990
Summary: 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 sedimentology and paleontology
Principal Investigator: Pratt, Brian R.
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1993
Summary: The Cambrian period is an interval of geologic time that is poorly known in arctic Canada. Previous studies have been very basic and almost no fossils have been recovered. Sections of sedimentary rock will be measured in detail, with attention focused on the structure of the sediments as well as the presence of fossils. A map will then be constructed showing the layers in which fossils occur. ...


Early Quaternary and Late Tertiary Geology and Geomorphology, Arctic Islands
Principal Investigator: Fyles, John G.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: On Melville and Bathurst Islands, the Researchers will locate and describe the occurrence of high-level gravels and sands, record evidence of the flow-direction of the rivers in which they originated and search for plant and insect fossils that may provide clues about the age of these deposits and about the climate and environment at that time....

Principal Investigator: Vincent, Jean-Serge
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1990
Summary: A camp will be set up on morthwestern Bands Island (Ballast Brook). Sections along rivers and the coast will be examined by the various researchers to determine the nature of the various sediments and their fossil content....
