Reconnaissance of Lower Paleozoic Geology, Phillips Inlet Region, North Coast of Ellesmere Island, District of Franklin
The lower Paleozoic rocks of the Phillips Inlet region are unfossiliferous. There age assignments are tentative and based on lithological correlation with formations of known age in other parts of Ellesmere Island. The following stratigraphic units are distinguished: Late Ordovician(?) limestone and overlying slates and phyllites; a thick succession of Early to early Late Silurian(?) clastic sediments which are mainly of flysch-type but also include deltaic deposits; and Late Silurian(?) volcanics overlain by carbonates. In addition, there are two metamorphic complexes composed of sedimentary and volcanic rocks that appear to be mainly of pre-Silurian ages.
Lower Palaeozoic Sediments of Northwestern Baffin Island, District of Franklin
This is a summary description of the Lower Palaeozoic sediments of northern Baffin Island west of long. 80 degrees, an area of some 50,000 square miles with local relief up to 4,000 feet. Here, Precambrian plutonic, metamorphic, sedimentary, hypabyssal, and volcanic rocks are uncomfortably overlain by Cambrian, Ordovician, and Silurian strata with a maximum thickness of nearly 6,000 feet.
