Geology, Qinnguk, Victoria Island, Northwest Territories / [Authors: R.H. Rainbird, J.H. Bédard, and D. Thomson].: M183-1/176-2014E-PDF

"NTS 87-H/6 is underlain by the middle to upper Wynniatt, Kilian, Kuujjua and Natkusiak formations of the Neoproterozoic Shaler Supergroup. The Wynniatt Formation is confined to the north-west and the Kilian Formation is intermittently exposed in the central and southern parts of the map area. The upper Kilian, Kuujjua and basal Natkusiak formations are exposed on prominent hills in the southeast. Up to 5, type 2 (diabasic), sills outcrop as stepped cuestas that strike northeast across the centre of the map area. Two, northwest-striking dykes cut across the upper Wynniatt Formation strata in the north. Several steep normal faults occur in the southern third and western side of the map area. Those cutting the Natkusiak Formation do not cut underlying strata, suggesting that faulting was syn-volcanic. West-southwest block faulting, common in map areas to the north, is evident around Tahiryuak, where it repeats strata of the upper Wynniatt Formation (unit n{W4)"--Abstract.
