Abstract: This GIS dataset is part of a digital compilation of the Precambrian geology of the Alberta portion of the Canadian Shield and Athabasca Basin. It is one of the datasets used to produce Alberta Geological Survey Map 537. The dataset displays locations on the Alberta shield where we took rock samples for 40 argon/39 argon dating. Attributes include crystallization and/or cooling age, mineral analyzed, sample identifier and rock type, literature reference, and analytical method. This is a digital version of Table 2 in Map 537.

Review the sources referenced in the map's attribute table for guidance on location accuracy. The locations in this file coincide exactly with their respective locations on Geological Survey of Canada Map 1953A. However, the locations differ by as much as 1500 m from the same samples downloaded Jan. 20, 2010 from the Canadian Geochronology Knowledgebase (CGK). We believe the CGK samples are incorrect.
