LEXICON OF CANADIAN GEOLOGICAL NAMES ON-LINE
Search Lithological Units Search Chronological Units
This site provides information about over 16,000 published geological names used
in Canada. The names are from several sources, now stored in a single database.
The names are of two types: lithological units and chronological units. The
lexicon is a "living" database; some names remain to be added, others are
incompletely described, and many descriptions require updating.
Lithological names may be searched by age, name (or any part thereof), first
citation (by author), source data set, Territory or Province, or any combination
of these parameters. For all sources, the database contains summary information
such as unit name, parent (if any), age (if given in the source), unit rank (if
specified, e.g. Formation, Suite, etc.), Status (Formal, informal, undefined),
usage (e.g. currently in use, obsolete) and information source. For names from
the CSPG lexicons, additional information is typically available from a second
screen formatted for printing. The CSPG lexicons may also be ordered as CD-ROM
from www.cspg.org
Chronological names may be searched only by age or name (or any part thereof).
The database contains summary information such as unit name, parent (if any),
age in millions of years (Ma), unit rank and information source.
The use of geological names is prescribed by the North American Stratigraphic
Code.
This web site is seen as a tool to galvanize the geological community to make a
