Figure 2.

(A) Two-dimensional multidimensional scaling (MDS) plot (Saylor et al., 2017; Kolmogorov-Smirnov comparison of probability density plots, metric squared test = 0.137) and (B) age-εHft plot of detrital zircon data from units involved in translation along the Canadian Arctic transform system. Annotations on (A) show general detrital age trends reflected in the MDS plot. Alexander terrane data in (B) is plotted as contoured density maps of bivariate kernel density estimates with contours of 68% (1σ) and 95% (2σ) of peak density and cool to hot color gradient reflecting increasing peak density (Sundell et al., 2019). Data from Svalbard (Sv); Franklinian basin (FB); Pearya terrane (P; P3—Succession 3); Canadian Arctic Islands clastic wedge (CW; CWp—Parry Islands Formation); Arctic Alaska terrane (N—North Slope subterrane; SS—southwestern subterranes; D—Doonerak; WMA—Whale Mountain Allochthon); Farewell terrane (F); Alexander terrane (AT: ATn—northern, St. Elias; ATs—southern, Prince of Wales Island; ATb—Banks Island assemblage); the Yukon-Tanana terrane (YTs) in southeastern Alaska is presented in additional plots and references in the supplemental material1.
