Notes


Published to provide a standard reference for geological nomenclature in the Western Sedimentary Basin and Arctic Archipelago of Canada, this lexicon records 554 stratigraphic names current at the time of publication (1960). Entries identify the original source in which each name was established, together with its type locality, lithologic characteristics, thickness and distribution, stratigraphic relationships, and references to the relevant literature. Compiled in the context of petroleum exploration, the volume brings together geological terminology and published sources for western and northern Canada in a single reference work.
