Over the last ten years there has been intensive field research in archaeology and paleo-geography in Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands), primarily by agencies such as Parks Canada, but also by consultantas and other independent researchers. Members of the Haida Nation have participated directly in this field work. Haida Gwaii presents the results of this research and carefully integrates the results with earlier archaeological, ethnohistorical, and paleo-environmental work in the region. The book presents as complete a picture as possible of past environments and culture on Haida Gwaii from the late glacial through the prehistoric and protohistoric periods preceding the period of direct European contact. While this is a scientific text, Haida tradition is covered to a limited extent through the inclusion of a previously unpublished Haida origin myth. The collection makes a significant contribution to understanding the natural history of Haida Gwaii, from new data on ice retreat, shoreline and sea level change, faunal communities, and culture history, to broader inferences made from these data regarding the late glacial and early post-glacial history of the entire coast.

Extensive geological investigation of Mesozoic strata of the Pacific Rim is currently underway to determine the hydrocarbon potential of these rocks. Precise biostratigraphic control is essential for advances and substantial new information on the Jurassic biostratigraphy and taxonomy of Jurassic radiolarians from the Queen Charlotte Islands is presented in this report. Five new genera and 42 new species are described, most of which have restricted, and therefore useful, biostratigraphic ranges. A preliminary radiolarian zonation is proposed, calibrated with associated ammonite and foraminiferal faunas.

The lower Maude and upper Kunga groups in the central Queen Charlotte Islands provide the most complete and fossiliferous Pliensbachian sequences in North America. Outcrops on Maude Island and at Whiteaves Bay serve as either type or reference sections for the Imlayi, Whiteavesi, Freboldi, Kunae, and Carlottense zones of the standard North American zonation. The Sandilands Formation of the Kunga Group is mostly pre-Pliensbachian in age but exposures on Kunga Island are as young as Whiteavesi Zone. The Sandilands Formation and the succeeding Ghost Creek Formation of the Maude Group were deposited in fairly deep, euxinic water subjected to diminishing pyroclastic and volcaniclastic input, the latter by turbidity currents. Shallowing culminated in the deposition of the coarser sediments of the Fannin Formation which were laid down in higher energy, well oxygenated waters. Most of the Ghost Creek Formation is assignable to the Imlayi Zone with its upper 10 m or so as young as the Whiteavesi Zone; at one level in the Whiteavesi Bay section, it is as young as the Freboldi Zone. The Fannin Formation ranges in age form the Whtieavesi to the Carlottense zones and locally into the Toarcian. This report is the first comprehensive, stratigraphically controlled study of the Pliensbachian ammonoids of the Queen Charlotte Islands. Seven hundred and fourteen localities have yielded at least 1600 specimens assignable to approximately 85 species representing 32 genera of sub-genera and 11 families of ammonoids. Charlotticeras is established as a new subgenus of Fanninoceras and Pacificeras (Repin, 1970) is recognized as a subgenus of Lioceratoides. The following new species are established (in alphabetical order): Acanthopleuroceras thomsoni, Fanninoceras (Charlotticeras) carteri, F. (C.) maudense, Lioceratoides (Leoceratoides) involutum, Oistoceras compressum, Oregonites? dawsoni, Protogrammoceras (Protogrammoceras) skidegatense, and Teynesocoeloceras grahami.

The excellent preservation of radiolarians in formations on the Queen Charlotte Islands, and the precision to which they can be dated from closely associated ammonites and other fossils, makes them especially suitable for constructing integrated biochronological zonations and detailed taxonomic studies. The purpose of this study is to develop a detailed radiolarian zonation for the Lower Jurassic, to integrate new radiolarian zones with ammonite assemblages for that period, to document the range and distribution of the Queen Charlotte Islands radiolarians as completely as possible, and to describe new taxa. The first part reviews the lithostratigraphy of the formations studied, the independent fossil dating methods used, the diversity and composition of the radiolarian faunas observed, the radiolarian biochrolology and chronostratigraphy, and paleobiogeography of the area's radiolarians and ammonites. Part 2 is a systematic palaeontology describing radiolarian species by suborder, family, and genus.

The Upper Triassic sections outcropping on the Queen Charlotte Islands contain outstanding successions of conodont and radiolarian microfossils. This report focuses on the successions about the Carnian-Norian boundary at several key localities. This boundary may coincide with an interval of significant change in global fauna and flora, particularly in terrestrial habitats. The purpose of the study reported is to demonstrate faunal change that may potentially be used in global correlation and definition of the Carnian-Norian boundary, and thus contribute towards the resolution of historical events that date from that time. The report summarizes the radiolarian change within the boundary interval identified primarily by conodonts but supplemented by some molluscan data.

The most isolated archipelago on the west coast of the Americas, inhabited for at least 10,500 years, Haida Gwaii has fascinated scientists, social scientists, historians, and inquisitive travellers for decades. This book brings together the results of extensive and varied field research by both federal agencies and independent researchers, and carefully integrates them with earlier archaeological, ethnohistorical, and paleoenvironmental work in the region. It imparts significant new information about the natural history of Haida Gwaii, also known as the Queen Charlotte Islands, and the adjacent areas of Hecate Strait. Chapters analyze new data on ice retreat, shoreline and sea level change, faunal communities, and culture history, providing a more comprehensive picture of the history of the islands from the late glacial through the prehistoric period, to the time of European contact, known to the Haida as the "time of the Iron People."

"Until the results presented in this report became available it had been thought that the late Bathonian was absent from the stratigraphic record in the Canadian Cordillera. This report is thus of importance first in developing a fuller understanding of the Jurassic biostratigraphy of the area and second in understanding the geological history of the Cordilleran region." --

Islands, with their simplified ecosystems and isolation from other populations in both space & time, provide natural settings for the study of numerous disciplines in relation to evolution. The Queen Charlotte Islands are some of the more isolated islands on the north-west coast of North America and are therefore of special interest in the study of the biotic evolution of this region. The purpose of this paper is to report on an analysis of the evolution of the native land mammals of these islands. An important aspect is to determine how much of the endemism present on the islands is accounted for by reason of its being a relict population or how much is a contribution of the insularity of the environment. The paper begins with a review of the Islands' setting and an assessment of the possibility of glacial refugia being present on the island. The Islands' physiography, vegetation, endemic species, the impoverished nature of the fauna encountered, and the probability of species survival in a refugium during the last glaciation are reviewed. The second section examines eight species of native mammals in an attempt to reconstruct their past history in a Queen Charlotte setting. The research is based on field studies conducted in 1960 & 1961 and examination of specimens collected & specimens in museums. Sources of variation, rates of evolution, and factors responsible for species appearance or disappearance are discussed. The final chapter reviews the evolution of mammals on other islands to show any trends which may be present in insular mammals.
