Ekalulia Formation

The Ekalulia Formation is a Neoproterozoic geologic formation in Nunavut, Canada, within the Mackenzie Large Igneous Province. It is made up of massive continental flood basalt lava flows whose green basalts contain olivine and show minor pillow structures. Reaching roughly 300 to 500 meters thick, the formation preserves part of an immense episode of ancient volcanic activity in northern Canada and is significant as evidence of the scale and character of that eruptive event.
