“…2; Moore et al, 1994). The rocks overlying this unconformity consist of eight megasequences, each coinciding with a major phase of basin evolution (Hubbard et al, 1987). The megasequences were grouped into three plate sequences: the Ellesmerian, Beaufortian, and Brookian ( fig.…”

“…In addition, sequence stratigraphic analysis of these units expands our knowledge of the geology of Alaska, provides models applicable to paleogeographic reconstructions of the Arctic, and provides insight into the paleogeography and paleoceanography during a crucial period from pre-rifting through the onset of rifting in the Canada Basin (Hubbard et al, 1987;Hulm, 1999).…”

Synthesis of seismic velocity, potential field, and geological data from Canada Basin and its surrounding continental margins suggests that a northeast‐trending structural fabric has influenced the origin, evolution, and current tectonics of the basin. This structural fabric has a crustal origin, based on the persistence of these trends in upward continuation of total magnetic intensity data and vertical derivative analysis of free‐air gravity data. Three subparallel northeast‐trending features are described. Northwind Escarpment, bounding the east side of the Chukchi Borderland, extends ∼600 km and separates continental crust of Northwind Ridge from high‐velocity transitional crust in Canada Basin. A second, shorter northeast‐trending zone extends ∼300 km in northern Canada Basin and separates inferred continental crust of Sever Spur from magmatically intruded crust of the High Arctic Large Igneous Province. A third northeast‐trending feature, here called the Alaska‐Prince Patrick magnetic lineament (APPL) is inferred from magnetic data and its larger regional geologic setting. Analysis of these three features suggests strike slip or transtensional deformation played a role in the opening of Canada Basin. These features can be explained by initial Jurassic‐Early Cretaceous strike slip deformation (phase 1) followed in the Early Cretaceous (∼134 to ∼124 Ma) by rotation of Arctic Alaska with seafloor spreading orthogonal to the fossil spreading axis preserved in the central Canada Basin (phase 2). In this model, the Chukchi Borderland is part of Arctic Alaska.
