Lower and Middle Jurassic Ammonite Fauna of Northern Whitehorse Trough

Stratigraphic and paleontological data from the Lower and Middle Jurassic period in the northern Whitehorse Trough, Yukon, Canada. The dataset is derived from a thesis available at the EMR library under catalog number QE681.C43 2000. It is published by the Government of Yukon and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze ammonite fauna distribution and diversity within the Lower and Middle Jurassic stratigraphic units.
• Correlate stratigraphic sequences in the northern Whitehorse Trough with other Jurassic basins using ammonite biozones.
• Study paleoenvironmental changes recorded in the Jurassic stratigraphy of the Yukon region.

Strengths

• Data originates from a formal thesis, providing a structured academic source.
• Focuses on a specific geologic period (Lower and Middle Jurassic) and location (northern Whitehorse Trough).
• Managed and published by the authoritative Government of Yukon organization.

Limitations

• The dataset is presented in HTML format, which is not ideal for structured data analysis and may require significant extraction effort.
• Sample data and specific column details are unavailable, limiting understanding of the data's granular structure.
• The raw description is minimal, offering little insight into the scope, sample count, or specific measurements contained.
