Sm–Nd isotopic data are presented for 23 drill-core samples from five aeromagnetically and geochronologically (U–Pb zircon) distinct domains of the Precambrian basement of northern Alberta. The domains in question are the Taltson (1.96–1.94 Ga), Buffalo Head (2.32–1.99 Ga), Chinchaga (2.19–2.09 Ga),...
