These structures include the Boothia uplift, Rens Fiord uplift, Inglefield uplift (redefined unit, replacing Bache Peninsula arch), and possibly several other structures, such as the Cornwall arch, which are now expressed mainly in Mesozoic-Cenozoic strata but may represent rejuvenated Caledonian lineaments.
