      False_Northing: 0.000000

      Planar coordinates are encoded using coordinate pair
      Abscissae (x-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 0.000000
      Ordinates (y-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 0.000000
      Planar coordinates are specified in meters

      The horizontal datum used is D_Clarke_1866.
      The ellipsoid used is Clarke 1866.
      The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378206.400000.

Why was the data set created?

To provide a geological and physiographic context for the distribution of potential reservoir in the Lower to Middle Devonian Arnica and Landry formations and thier equivalents in the Northern Foreland Belt of the northern mainland of Canada. Enables querying and visualization of spatial relationships and petroleum potential between exploration play features in the Mackenzie Corridor assessment region.
