Lithogeochemical data from three drillholes at the Tom property in Macmillan Pass, Yukon. The core covers intervals from the Middle Devonian Road River Group to the Upper Devonian Earn Group, including the Macmillan Pass volcanic suite. Samples were collected to characterize depositional history and aid paleogeographical reconstructions, depositional models, age control, and shale correlation.
Use Cases
- Model turbidity current deposition based on baseline geochemical profiles and sedimentology
- Refine biozone constraints based on re-examination of Middle Devonian conodont collections
- Correlate thick shale units across the region based on geochemical characterization
- Reconstruct paleogeographical settings based on data from shelf to basinal environments
Strengths
- Data covers three distinct drillholes, providing multiple sampling points
- Core intervals span from Middle Devonian to Upper Devonian geological groups
- Analysis includes whole rock lithogeochemistry and re-examination of eleven existing conodont collections
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
