Bjorne Formation
The Bjorne Formation is a formation of sandstones and shales in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. The southern edge of the formation includes petroleum reserves in Melville Island. The basin also includes Mackenzie King Island, Lougheed Island and portions of Prince Patrick Island, Borden Island, Ellef Ringnes Island, Amund Ringnes Island, and Cornwall Island. The formation underlies the Murray Harbour Formation and overlies the Blind Fiord, Lindstrom and Trold Fiord Formations. Oil and gas deposits are confirmed through the basin. The southern and eastern margins are more than 1000 meters, sometimes nearly 2000 meters, thick.

Cretaceous
The Cretaceous ( ) is a geological period that lasted from about 145 to 66 million years ago (Mya). It is the third and final period of the Mesozoic Era, as well as the longest. At around 79 million years, it is the longest geological period of the entire Phanerozoic. The name is derived from the Latin ''creta'', "chalk", which is abundant in the latter half of the period. It is usually abbreviated K, for its German translation ''Kreide''. The Cretaceous was a period with a relatively warm climate, resulting in high eustatic sea levels that created numerous shallow inland seas. These oceans and seas were populated with now- extinct marine reptiles, ammonites, and rudists, while dinosaurs continued to dominate on land. The world was ice free, and forests extended to the poles. During this time, new groups of mammals and birds appeared. During the Early Cretaceous, flowering plants appeared and began to rapidly diversify, becoming the dominant group of plants across the Earth b ...

Cape Rawson Formation
The "Cape Rawson Formation" is a geologic formation in Nunavut. It preserves fossils that date back to both the Ordovician and Devonian periods. Because the Blue Fiord Formation lies on top of the formation, it has been determined that it predates the middle Devonian Period. It is located on the southern portion of the Ellesmere Island in Canada. Composition 100 feet of shale separates it from nearby fiord formations, including the Cornwallis Formation. Permanent fauna does not exist, however fossils suggest that the fiord may have been a thriving temperate climate over 200 million years ago. Many fossils have been detected inside the mass of limestone which overcuts the formation. Location The majority of the fiord is located on the southern portion of Ellesmere Island. However, some of the fiord encroaches on some territory in the eastern and northeastern portions of the island. Relation to Other Fjords The Cape Rawson Formation overcuts the Cape Phillips Formation. It also bor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
