Biostratigraphy, age, and the paleoenvironment of the Pliocene Beaufort formation on Meighen Island, Canadian Arctic Archipelago /

Meighen Island is a keystone site in the Neogene Canadian High Arctic, unique in the Beaufort Formation for its interbedded marine tongue. This volume is a comprehensive report on the biostratigraphy, age and correlation of Meighen Island to other important Arctic localities from the standpoint of d...

520 |a Meighen Island is a keystone site in the Neogene Canadian High Arctic, unique in the Beaufort Formation for its interbedded marine tongue. This volume is a comprehensive report on the biostratigraphy, age and correlation of Meighen Island to other important Arctic localities from the standpoint of deposits exposed in the area of Bjaere Bay on the west side of the Island. The authors consider the diverse fossil macrofloras and pollen, the terrestrial and marine faunas, magnetostratigraphy and amino acid racemization and put this site in the context of major changes in climate and geography during the Pliocene.
