A chronological framework for the Clyde Foreland Formation, Eastern Canadian Arctic, derived from amino acid racemization and cosmogenic radionuclides

► We provide absolute age constraints for previously undateable Quaternary glaciomarine deposits. ► Establish a minimum age of 1.15 ± 0.20 Ma for a buried paleosol. ► Develop the first amino acid racemization calibration for Arctic Canada. ► The 7 glacial advances recorded by these sediments span the Pleistocene. ► The oldest deposits record Late Pliocene/Early Pleistocene ice advances across Baffin Island.
