    Terasen Pipelines (Trans Mountain) Inc. Palaeontological Overview TMX - Anchor Loop Project November 2005 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Prior to fieldwork, a literature survey was conducted to identify potential areas of palaeontological interest to Parks Canada, BC Parks and to the Geological Survey of Canada. Both the Existing and Proposed routes as well as the access roads were assessed and two areas were highlighted for thorough examination. These areas are from KP/KL 312 to KP/KL 318 for the potential Upper Cretaceous fossils, and between KP/KL 349 and KP/KL 351 for the potential Devonian Carboniferous fossils. The area between Hinton and Kia Nea Lake (KP/KL 310.1 to KP/KL 321) is underlain by the Brazeau Formation and previous work conducted within this formation has discovered plant macrofossils and fresh water turtles. These formations are not well exposed along the Proposed and Existing routes; however, exposures adjacent to the routes indicate that they are close to the surface and will likely be intersected during trenching. The area from Jasper townsite west is underlain by Precambrian strata and is, therefore, unfossiliferous except for possible Holocene vertebrates. Much of the Local Study Area (LSA) is underlain by Pleistocene outwash gravels and Holocene terrace gravels and loess. The only fossils observed during the field survey were in the bedrock between KP/KL 349 and KP/KL 351. Here strata of the Palliser, Banff, Ranger Canyon and Mowitch formations will be impacted. In the area of proposed access road widening along Celestine Lake Road in Jasper National Park, outcrops of the Banff Formation are extremely fossiliferous with extensive beds of crinoid ossicles, brachiopods, solitary and colonial corals and fenestrate bryozoans.
