Palynology of the Kanguk formation (late cretaceous), Remus Creek, Ellesmere Island, Canadian Arctic Archipelago
Bibliography: p. 193-227. The stratigraphic nature, palynological constituents, and petroleum potential of the Kanguk Formation and contiguous strata have been assessed by combining palynology, sedimentology, and Rock-EvalffOC pyrolysis. In the northeastern Sverdrup Basin the Kanguk is latest Cenoma...
