The Pavy Formation is a geologic formation in Nunavut. It preserves fossil insects of Carabites feildenianus, dating back to the Thanetian stage of the Paleocene period.
The Pavy Formation is a geologic formation in Nunavut. It preserves fossil insects of Carabites feildenianus, [1] dating back to the Thanetian stage of the Paleocene period.
• "The Pavy Formation is interpreted to be fluvial in origin. Trough-crossbedded sandstone facies dominate this formation and were probably channel deposits of a braided river system, with interbeds of siltstone and mudrock representing floodplain deposits. Where thicker intervals of mudrock occur, backswamp ponds or shallow-lake conditions ...
In the Cape Back Basin, on the Judge Daly Promontory, coarse clastic sediments of the Pavy Formation (Lee et al., 2008) are assigned a late Paleocene age (Estrada et al., 2010; Zentilli, 2005...

10 Mar 2009 · The volcanogenic Pavy Formation of the Cape Back basin also forms the infill of the two other Paleogene outliers on Judge Daly Promontory as well as of two small outliers on the western coast of Nares Strait opposite the NE end of Judge Daly Promontory (Miall 1982; Harrison et al. 2007) (Fig. 2a).
Description: Volcanogenic sandstone, trough cross-stratified, dark green and brown weathering, fine to coarse grained; minor shale, siltstone, conglomerate; well rounded grains and clasts of alkali basalt, trachyte, rhyolite, granitic gneiss; plant fossils, petrified logs, local coal, wood, freshwater bivalves, gastropods; mostly braided ...
01 Sep 2012 · The new Pavy Formation is the oldest unit, and consists of coarse-grained, volcanic-rich, channel-deposit sandstone displaying abundant, decimetre-scale trough-crossbedding.
01 Mar 2011 · Recent studies have shown that this magmatism continued well into the Palaeocene with ~ 60 Ma ages reported for volcanic pebbles reworked in the Pavy Formation on the southeastern shore of Ellesmere Island (Estrada et al., 2010), and in volcanics on Lockwood Island in northern Greenland (Thorarinsson et al., 2009).
