Geology, Norman Wells (northwest), Northwest Territories / [by] K.M. Fallas.: M183-1/98-2012E-PDF
"The northwest quadrant of Norman Wells map area (NTS 96-E) covers parts of the Franklin Mountains and Mackenzie Plain, Northwest Territories. The area varies from low-lying forested plain to high rocky ridges, with bedrock exposures concentrated along the mountainous ridges, stream banks, and lake shores. Cordilleran deformation from the southwest has uplifted Cambrian to Devonian strata along anticlinal folds and thrust faults in the Franklin Mountains. Cordilleran structures display two dominant trends, northwest-southeast and east-west, creating a trapezoid-shaped interference pattern in the Franklin Mountains. An unconformity at the base of Upper Cretaceous strata cuts more deeply into underlying Lower Cretaceous and Devonian strata to the northeast, a reflection of uplift along the Keele Arch before deposition of the Slater River Formation. Historical petroleum exploration activity in this map area targeted potential reservoir in the Devonian Ramparts Formation"--Abstract.
