ABSTRACT The clay minerals in the shales of the Reindeer D-27 well, Mackenzie River delta, are kaolin (50%), illite (45%) and montmorillonite-chlorite (5%). The uniformity of the clay minerals suggests that the source area has been constant during the Tertiary and Cretaceous. Boron values indicate a change from marine to fresh-water deposition with decreasing age of the shales.
