LePain, D.L. McCarthy, P.J. Kirkham, Russell 2009 document, tabular digital data Report of Investigation RI 2009-1 Fairbanks, AK USA State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys 78 p. http://dx.doi.org/10.14509/19761 Detailed facies analysis is presented for the Nanushuk Formation in outcrop in the central North Slope. Facies associations are interpreted and described. Simplified measured sections are presented along with detailed segments of measured sections to illustrate facies and facies association stacking patterns. This work provides a detailed stratigraphic framework for the Nanushuk Formation. The data are available in tabular format as comma delimited ascii files organized into three layers, each comprised of three tables as described in this metadata file under the "Entity_and_Attribute_Information" section. The layers are as follows: > TableA1 Locations of measured sections described in this study > TableB1 Summary of palynologic and foraminifera samples included in this study > TableB2 Summary of macrofossil samples included in this study 1998 2007 ground condition Complete None planned -155 -148 70 68.5 ISO 19115 Topic Category geoscientificInformation None Stratigraphy Sedimentology Oil and Gas Basin STATEMAP Project Geographic Names Information System Alaska, State of North Slope Umiat Quadrangle Chandler Lake Quadrangle Sagavanirktok Quadrangle Ikpikpuk River Quadrangle Chandler River Ninuluk Bluff Sagavanirktok River None Nanushuk Formation None Cretaceous Albian Aptian This report, map, and/or dataset are available directly from the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (see contact information below). Any hard copies or published datasets utilizing these datasets shall clearly indicate their source. If the user has modified the data in any way, the user is obligated to describe the types of modifications the user has made. User specifically agrees not to misrepresent these datasets, nor to imply that changes made by the user were approved by the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys. The data set was funded by the State of Alaska in conjunction with various North Slope STATEMAP geologic mapping projects, and the DGGS NPRA sponsors program. Identification accuracy of paleontological samples varies with contract paleontologists. The most appropriate scientist with expertise in rocks of this age for each particular area was chosen. No topologic relationships are present in the data. This dataset contains all of the samples selected for micropaleontological and macrofossil analyses in the central Brooks Range foothills during the field programs. Location data in latitude/longitude coordinates with a Clark 1866, NAD27 datum are presented. GPS locations are typically accurate within 1-5 meters, while locations hand-digitized from topographic maps may be accurate within 10-20 meters. Mull, C.G. Houseknecht, D.W.
