Geology, Carcajou Canyon (northeast), Northwest Territories / [by] K.M. Fallas, T. Hadlari, and B.C. MacLean. : M183-1/95-2012E-PDF
"The northeast quadrant of the Carcajou Canyon map area (NTS 96-D) straddles the Mackenzie Mountains and Mackenzie Plain, Northwest Territories, rising from a relatively flat, low-lying plain in the northeast to mountainous terrain in the southwest. Much of the Mackenzie Plain is here underlain by flat or very gently folded Cretaceous to Paleocene siliciclastic strata. Exposures in the Mackenzie Mountains include siliciclastic and carbonate strata ranging in age from Neoproterozoic to Devonian. These older strata have been brought to surface along compressional faults and in the cores of anticlines associated with Cordilleran deformation. Structural features are dominated by a northwest trend, the exception being the northeast-trending Gambill Fault. Public-domain seismic-reflection lines, archived with the National Energy Board, help constrain the location of contacts between sparsely exposed Cretaceous units. Petroleum exploration by private industry in the area targets Cambrian or Devonian strata in the subsurface of the Mackenzie Plain"--Abstract.
