Description:
Abstract:

This GIS dataset is part of a digital compilation of the Precambrian geology of the Alberta portion of the Canadian Shield and Athabasca Basin. It is one of the datasets used to produce Alberta Geological Survey Map 537.

The dataset displays locations on the Alberta shield where we took rock samples for 40 argon/39 argon dating. Attributes include crystallization and/or cooling age, mineral analyzed, sample identifier and rock type, literature reference, and analytical method. This is a digital version of Table 2 in Map 537.

Purpose:
To update the Precambrian geology of northeastern Alberta, including the Alberta portions of the Canadian Shield and Athabasca Basin.
Supplemental Information:
These data comprise the 40 argon/39 argon point features shown on Alberta Geological Survey Map 537, Precambrian Geology of Northeastern Alberta (NTS 74M, 74L and part of 74E). Language: In English.

Data Quality Information:
Logical Consistency Report: This is a data compilation from many sources. Locations are unique.
Completeness Report:
Only geochronology data from published journals were included in this compilation. Preliminary data were not included.
Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:
This is a compilation from various sources. Review the sources referenced in the map's attribute table for guidance on location accuracy. The locations in this file coincide exactly with their respective locations on Geological Survey of Canada Map 1953A. However, the locations differ by as much as 1500 m from the same samples downloaded Jan. 20, 2010 from the Canadian Geochronology Knowledgebase (CGK). We believe the CGK samples are incorrect.

Process Step:
Process Description:
The author compiled UTM co-ordinates of the argon/argon samples from published journals and placed into an MS Excel spreadsheet. The GIS technologist transformed the data from MS Excel into shapefile format.
Process Date: 2008
Process Step:
Process Description:
Sample locations were double-checked against both the Geological Survey of Canada's Canadian Geochronology Knowledgebase and against GSC Map 1953A because location discrepancies were noted.
