The Precambrian basement rocks of the Boothia Arch exhibit three phases of folding characteristic of deep-level deformation in mobile belts. Structural cross-sections demonstrate that the geometry of compositional layering and regionally parallel axial-plane foliation of first-phase folds is control...
