Devonian Ogilvie Formation Faunal Data from Northern Yukon

A 2026 thesis-derived dataset on Devonian-era paleontology from the Ogilvie Formation in northern Yukon. The data originates from the Government of Yukon and is available in HTML format under a yk-oglyk license.

Use Cases

• Analyze faunal composition and diversity within the Ogilvie Formation for paleoecological reconstruction.
• Correlate fossil age data from the formation with regional Devonian stratigraphy.
• Study taxonomic lists of Devonian fauna documented in the thesis for biodiversity assessments.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from a formal academic thesis, providing a structured research foundation.
• Information is directly tied to a specific geological formation and period (Devonian Ogilvie Formation).
• Managed and published by a governmental organization (Government of Yukon).

Limitations

• The dataset scope is limited to a single geological formation in northern Yukon, restricting broader applicability.
• Data is presented in HTML format, which may require parsing for quantitative analysis.
• The underlying thesis may not be readily accessible for verification of all details.
