A total of 6292 organic-matter reflectance determinations are given for samples from 140 oil and gas wells (or deviated legs) and 1857 measurements from 346 outcrops or mining drill core from the Arctic Islands. Each sample has a reflectance value, the type oforganic matter that was measured, and is assigned to a stratigraphic unit. The data is held at the Geological Survey of Canada, but comes from a wide range of sources including GSC files, David Pearson and Associates, Geo-optics Ltd., TeckCominco Ltd., and Panarctic Oils Ltd reports. A depth vs. Roplot is given for each oil and gas well.
