Rock-Eval Data for Canadian Borehole Cuttings, Core and Outcrop Samples-Beaufort MacKenzie

This data set includes Rock-Eval pyrolysis and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) data for borehole cuttings, core and outcrop samples. These data are applicable to studies evaluating petroleum potential and have been utilized in most Canadian sedimentary basins including the Beaufort-Mackenzie, Mackenzie Corridor, Franklinian Geosyncline, Sverdrup (Arctic Islands), Jeanne D'Arc (off the Newfoundland Coast), Scotian Shelf, Michigan, Appalachian, Bowser, Queen Charlotte, Williston and Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. Data collected using commercial pyrolysis instruments Rock-Eval II and Rock-Eval 6.
