The early chapters of the volume present data and interpretations of the geophysics of the craton and summarise, with sequential maps, the tectonic evolution of the craton. The main body of the text and accompanying plates and figures present the stratigraphy, structural history, and economic geology of specific sedimentary basins and regions. The volume concludes with a summary chapter in which the currently popular theories of cratonal tectonics are discussed and the unresolved questions are identified.
"Two special field projects on the Mesozoic rocks of northeastern British Columbia have been carried out during the past few field seasons: (1) a study of Triassic formations of northeastern British Columbia, begun by Pelletier in 1959 and continued in 1960,1961 and 1962; and (2) a study of the Lower Cretaceous Bullhead and Fort St. John Groups in outcrop sections, begun by Stott in 1961 and carried on in 1962. This is an interim account of the geology, together with a reconnaissance map based on information gathered in the course of these stratigraphic studies." --
