A new Lower Devonian rock unit in the Canadian Arctic Islands: Discussion
Vertebrate fossils from clastic rocks of the Peel Sound Formation on north-central Prince of Wales Island indicate that rocks as young as Emsian may be present, contrary to the statement of Ormiston (1969) that Siegenian to Emsian carbonate sediments on northwestern Prince of Wales are the youngest...
