Sequence stratigraphy and depositional history of the Artinskian to Kungurian sequence, Otto Fiord area, northwestern Ellesmere Island.
The Artinskian to Kungurian Sequence of the Otto Fiord area is dominated by the Great Bear Cape, Raanes and Trappers Cove formations in addition to the upper portions of the Nansen and Hare Fiord formations. The Great Bear Cape Formation (10-300 m), in the Otto Fiord area, is a yellowish-weathering,...
