Geology, tectonic assemblage map of Massey Sound, Amund Ringnes Island, and surrounding islands, Nunavut / [Authors: J.C. Harrison ... [et al.]].: M183-1/29-2013E-PDF

"This map and the related geodatabase illustrate the bedrock geology of southwestern Axel Heiberg Island, the greater part of Ellef Ringnes Island, all of King Christian, Amund Ringnes, Cornwall, and Griffith islands, in addition to various other small islands. Major features of the area include mostly Mesozoic strata of the Sverdrup basin penetrated by salt diapirs on Axel Heiberg Island and the Ringnes islands. Compressive deformation is pronounced on Axel Heiberg island; less so to the west. Cretaceous basalts and intrusive rocks (mostly gabbro) are associated with the High Arctic Large Igneous province"--Abstract.
