"This report on the Lyon Inlet area describes the stratigraphy, metamorphism, and structure of early Proterozoic sediments and their Archean basement, and illustrates the complex structural interaction of basement and cover rocks during intense deformation and high grad metamorphism. It is the first of several publications which will describe this entire belt of rocks. By providing a comprehensive understanding of the geology of these metasediments the Geologycal Survey is able to aid in the discovery and estimation of the potential resources available to Canada from this area." --

Fourteen chapters discuss regional stratigraphy by time intervals from Precambrian to Quaternary, while other chapters describe the geography, geomorphology, tectonics, geophysical characteristics, and resources of the region. A summary chapter includes geologic maps, structural cross-sections, a geotectonic correlation chart, a gravity map, and a location map for exploration wells in the Arctic Islands and northern Greenland. A wealth of additional information is contained on the nine accompanying plates.

A collection of review articles by eminent petrologists, summarizing recent scientific achievements in this field. The papers address the physico-chemical conditions of the origin of crystalline rocks as well as characteristics of their mineral assemblages. The book is divided into three main sections: Section 1 covers general thermodynamics and mineral equilibria; Section 2 covers metamorphic and metasomatic processes; and the final section discusses the mantle and magmatic processes.
