Measured section data, Mount Clark and Mount Cap formations (Cambrian), eastern Mackenzie Mountains, Northwest Territories / N.M. Handkamer. : M183-2/8741E-PDF

"Five stratigraphic sections in the Canyon Ranges of the eastern Mackenzie Mountains (NTS 96D) were measured during July and August 2019, focusing on lower to middle Cambrian strata. Fieldwork was carried out between the Keele River and an area 5 km west of Dodo Creek, about 50 km west-southwest of Norman Wells. This effort was conducted with three main goals, in order to: (1) develop a sedimentological framework for the lower and middle Cambrian formations and elucidate the controls on facies distribution; (2) collect trilobites in order to constrain the biostratigraphy and the timing of deposition; and (3) to describe the paleobiology of the trilobite faunas which display anomalous evolutionary patterns compared to middle Cambrian trilobites from other parts of North America. The present report documents the lithostratigraphy at the studied stratigraphic sections and will form the basis for an analysis of the sedimentology and biostratigraphy that will be published separately. …"--Introduction, page 1.
