Late Paleozoic to Miocene rocks in southwestern Yukon reveal a complex geological history. The dataset likely contains geological map data describing volcanic, sedimentary, and intrusive rock units, along with structural features like folds and faults. It was published by the Government of Yukon and last updated on April 17, 2026.
Use Cases
- Modeling structural complexity for mineral exploration based on described folds and faults.
- Analyzing stratigraphic relationships based on the described Late Paleozoic to Tertiary rock sequences.
- Mapping geological hazards based on the described strike-slip and thrust fault systems.
- Studying tectonic history based on the described multiple compressional and extensional events.
Strengths
- Description details a specific geological history spanning from Late Paleozoic to Miocene.
- Focuses on a defined geographic area: parts of NTS 115G/2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 in southwestern Yukon.
- Last updated date is explicitly provided: 2026-04-17.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to open_canada.
