Geology, Fort Norman (southwest), Northwest Territories / [by] K.M. Fallas and B.C. MacLean. : M183-1/93-2012E-PDF

"The southwest quadrant of the Fort Norman map area (NTS 96-C) encompasses hilly country at the transition from the Mackenzie Plain to the eastern Mackenzie Mountains, Northwest Territories. The area is well forested and dissected by numerous tributaries of the Keele River. Limited bedrock exposures exist along stream banks and higher ridges. Broad folds dominate the map area, with the Summit Creek Fault separating Devonian and older strata to the southwest from Cretaceous to Paleocene strata to the northeast. Although most structures are delineated by bedrock exposures, some structures in the younger strata have been located with the assistance of public-domain seismic-reflection profiles, archived with the National Energy Board. Industry exploration in the area has targeted coal seams in the Summit Creek Formation and petroleum in buried Cambrian or Devonian strata"--Abstract.
