Geology, Norman Wells (northeast), Northwest Territories / [by] K.M. Fallas. : M183-1/99-2012E-PDF
"The northeast quadrant of Norman Wells map area (NTS 96-E) occupies part of the Franklin Mountains, 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 faults and anticlinal folds. Structures in the area display a variation in trend from northwest to north and northeast, reflecting the influence of pre-existing normal faults on Cordilleran structural development. An unconformity at the base of Upper Cretaceous strata cuts more deeply into underlying Devonian and older strata through the central portion of the map area, a reflection of uplift along the Keele Arch before deposition of the Slater River Formation. A potential reservoir in buried Cambrian sandstone has been the focus of petroleum exploration activity in this map area"--Abstract.
