Stratigraphy and conodonts of Upper Silurian and Lower Devonian rocks in the environs of the Boothia Uplift, Canadian Arctic Archipelago

Abstract: The cratonic Boothia Uplift constitutes a major geological province in the Canadian Arctic. It is 800 km long and 150 km wide and extends from Boothia Peninsula on the continental mainland to about the geographic centre of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Rocks of Precambrian and Phanerozoic ages are included in the Uplift. The principal crustal movements by which the uplift achieved its present areal extent and many of its present structural characteristics occurred in Late Silurian and Early Devonian times. … Show more

“…on Bathurst Island co-occurs with conodont Ozarkodina douroensis, which is restricted to the Ludlow (as O. n. sp. B in Klapper & Murphy, 1974;Thorsteinsson, 1980;Uyeno, 1990;Mayr et al, 2004). Thus, age interpretations can be derived from the top and bottom of the Ludlow, spanning 425.4-416 Ma.…”

“…The basal part of the sequence at Goodsir Creek (i.e , the lower part of member A) was assigned by Kerr (1975) to his new Cape Storm Formation. Thorsteinsson (1980) subsequently elevated the Read Bay to group status. That portion of member A overlying the Cape Storm Formation was recognized as the Douro Formation.…”

“…At the type locality (Fig. I), the beds are dated as early Ludlovian according to laterally equivalent beds of the Cape Phillips Formation containing Neodiversograptus nilssoni (Thorsteinsson and Uyeno 1980;A. Lenz, personal communiciation, 1986).…”
