Progress report on the stratigraphy, sedimentology and significance of the Kimerot and Bear Creek groups, Kilohigok Basin, District of Mackenzie

Abstract

Some results of ongoing field investigations of the Kimerot and Bear Creek groups are summarized as they pertain to several topics, including: (1) revision of stratigraphic nomenclature for Kilohigok Basin; (2) vertical and lateral distribution of facies/fabrics of disconformities developed in the lower Bear Creek group; ( 3) stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Beechey Formation; (4) diagenesis studies of the Peg Formation (new name); and (5) constraints on the stratigraphy, sedimentology, and provenance of the Burnside Formation.
