PROTEROZOIC-PHANEROZOIC CHEMOSTRATIGRAPHY OF THE SOUTHERN CANADIAN ROCKY MOUNTAINS


MAGUIRE, Thomas J., Earth and Planetary Sciences/GEOTOP, McGill University, Montreal, QC H2X2X8, Canada and HALVERSON, Galen P., Earth and Planetary Sciences, McGill University, 3450 University St, Montreal, QC H3A0E8, Canada, thomas.maguire@mail.mcgill.ca

Carbonate and siliciclastic sedimentary rocks of the latest Neoproterozoic Miette Group (Windermere Supergroup) and earliest Cambrian Gog Group near Jasper, Alberta, Canada provide a new record of ocean chemistry evolution at the Proterozoic-Phanerozoic transition. Correlated high resolution transects of stable isotope, 87Sr/86Sr, and elemental data are presented from the diachronous Yellowhead and Astoria platforms in the Rocky Mountains, and from basinal equivalents in the Cariboo Mountains.
