  • Cadomin and Jasper Areas Willem Langenberg and John Waldron
    Field Guide to Selected Geological Sections of the Cadomin and Jasper Areas Willem Langenberg and John Waldron Edmonton Geological Society Field Trip Guide September 22-23, 2007 Introduction The Rocky Mountains can be divided into Foothills, Front Ranges, and Main Ranges as shown in the cartoon below (Fig. 1). Outcrops in the foothills are dominated by softer weathering Mesozoic rocks of the foreland basin: mainly sandstone and shale but also including conglomerates and coal. Most of the clastic rocks represent material eroded from earlier-formed parts of the orogen to the west, which was subsequently cannibalized as the thrustbelt advanced westward in late Mesozoic to early Cenozoic time. Locally in the foothills, the more resistant late Paleozoic carbonate rocks come to the surface in elongated ridges. Saturday's traverse will begin in the foothills of the Cadomin area and proceed southwest into the Front Ranges. In the Front Ranges carbonates dominate the landscape. These represent the late Paleozoic continental margin of the Laurentian continent, now sliced into multiple imbricated thrust sheets. Mesozoic clastics are confined to narrow valleys. On Sunday morning we will take the Yellowhead Highway further into the Front Ranges and eventually into the Main Ranges of the Rockies. In the Main Ranges, lower parts of the stratigraphy are preserved, including widespread outcrops of older, Early Paleozoic carbonates, clastics, and the underlying Proterozoic succession of the Windermere Supergroup. The structural style is different, too. Although thrust sheets are present, they are generally much larger in scale, and their dips are gentler. In addition, the rocks were more ductile when deformed, so that cleavage and folds are much more widely developed in the mudrocks.

  • Dinosaur Tracks in the Grande Cache Area
    TOURISM OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS: DINOSAUR TRACKS IN THE GRANDE CACHE AREA Presented to Alberta Economic Development By Strategy Plus 9608 – 100 Street Edmonton, Alberta T5K 0T6 In Association with: IRIS Environmental Systems Banff and Calgary Insight Research Solutions Inc. Edmonton Richard T. McCrea Edmonton March 2001 Strategy Plus March 2001 Tourism Opportunity Analysis: Dinosaur Tracks In the Grande Cache Area ________________________________________________________________________________ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Several sites of dinosaur footprints and trackways have been exposed on provincial Crown lands near the Town of Grande Cache in northwest Alberta, in an area that was formerly part of a coal mine operated by Smoky River Coal Ltd. (SRCL). While no dispositions or mining leases currently exist on the track sites, coal mining applications will be considered in the area over the next few years. The purpose of this study, commissioned by Alberta Economic Development, is twofold: 1. To determine the capacity of the dinosaur tracks and related palaeontological resources within the Grande Cache region to be developed as marketable tourism products, and 2. If capacity exists to develop the resource as a marketable tourist attraction, to develop an implementation plan for use by interested parties in Grande Cache to pursue development of tourism products and programs related to the dinosaur footprints and trackways. The study involved several components, including: an assessment of the scientific significance of the track sites; a survey of other sites to determine their best practices; a review and assessment of resource protection, management and access considerations; an inventory and assessment of existing tourism in the area; and an assessment of the tourism potential of the track sites based in part on the experiences of other sites.
