The anhydride diapirs and structure of central western Axel Heiberg Island, Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
On central western Axel Heiberg Island, which lies across the axis of the Sverdrup Basin, there are about forty diapirs composed of Lower Pennsylvanian anhydrite and microfossiliferous limestone. Inclusions of foreign sedimentary rock are extremely scarce. Diabase inclusions of undetermined age and...

On central western Axel Heiberg Island, which lies across the axis of the Sverdrup Basin, there are about forty diapirs composed of Lower Pennsylvanian anhydrite and microfossiliferous limestone.
