In the Hudson Bay/James Bay Lowlands, along the coasts of Banks Island, and along the eastern coast of Baffin Island are continuous and extensive sections in Quaternary sediments. These sections are rich in marine fossils, buried peats, and soils and contain a wide variety of glaciagenic sediments together with glacial marine units and littoral deposits. Lake muds are also fairly common. All th...

The Lokoja Sandstone was investigated for engineering properties. Three road cut samples were collected from three of its Lithologic Sections and subjected to index as well tests. Soils around sampling points A C showed higher insitu moisture, specific gravity values, liquid limits better grading, properties promising load bearing capacity. Also, maximum dry densities along than B but optimum m...
