Stratigraphy, sedimentology and resource assessment of the Lower Cretaceous Isachsen Formation: Sverdrup Basin, Ellef Ringnes Island, Nunavut, Arctic Canada ...
The Isachsen Formation is a Barremian to Aptian-aged fluvio-deltaic succession ranging in thickness from tens of meters to over 1400 m within the Sverdrup Basin of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. The formation exhibits a variety of lithologies including coarse-grained quartz-arenite sandstones, fin...
