The park encompasses the unique geological features and elevation of the Cypress Hills formation. The area contains a mix of Boreal and Montane forest elements as well as Prairie grassland elements. The area is surrounded by agricultural and pasture lands. The park is made up of a mix of natural forests and grasslands, which is classified into nine ecosites. Upland ecosites include plains rough fescue grassland on silty clay loam, lodgepole pine-dominated stands on sandy clay, white spruce stands on silty clay, aspen stands on clay loam, aspen-white spruce mixedwoods on silty clay soils, and aspen-lodgepole pine mixedwoods on clay loam.

    A Guide for Identifying Common Rock and Fossil Specimens Found in Saskatchewan Museums

    A GUIDE FOR IDENTIFYING COMMON ROCK AND FOSSIL SPECIMENS FOUND IN SASKATCHEWAN MUSEUMS By: Frank H. McDougall 2015 Crinoid stem in Ordovician limestone FOREWARD The following guide was developed by the author in order to compliment the Saskatchewan Archaeology Societies (SAS) summer archaeological caravan tours that began in 2012 and has visited many local Saskatchewan museums. The author has drawn on an extensive career in mining exploration and palaeontology as well as experience with local provincial museum collections in preparing this guide. This document is designed to aid local museums to identify some of the rock and fossil specimens that they contain. It is not meant to be an exhaustive resource that will allow the user to identify all specimens as museums often contain many unusual and unique specimens. It does however attempt to cover many of the specimens of rocks and fossils that are commonly found in local provincial museum collections. The guide is laid out in two main sections. The first section deals with identifying common rock specimens while the second section deals with common fossil specimens.

    Induced Seismicity Study in the Kiskatinaw Seismic Monitoring and Mitigation Area, British Columbia for the BC Oil and Gas Commission Amy D. Fox, Ph.D., P. Geo. and Neil D. Watson, P. Geol. Final Report June 5, 2019 Disclaimer All work performed for this project and information provided in this report is of the highest technical quality possible given data limitations and uncertainties at the time the work was completed. Enlighten Geoscience Ltd. cannot guarantee the accuracy of the material included in this report (and corresponding presentation) and bears no responsibility for the use of the material. This report was written as a preliminary contribution to understanding issues surrounding induced seismicity in the Kiskatinaw Seismic Monitoring and Mitigation Area. The ability to predict induced seismicity or infer economic valuations is explicitly not meant to be implied from this report. Enlighten Geoscience Ltd. APEGA Permit P13351 Member #159887 June 5, 2019 © 2019 Enlighten Geoscience Ltd. 2 Executive Summary Induced seismicity has been a growing concern throughout North America and around the world as increasing numbers of seismic events have been occurring in historically quiet tectonic areas and appear to be related to localized oil and gas development activity. On November 29, 2018 hydraulic fracture operations were suspended after a series of three seismic events ranging from 3.4 to 4.5 magnitude were recorded in the Kiskatinaw Seismic Monitoring and Mitigation Area (KSMMA) in northeast British Columbia, Canada. The goal of this study was to perform the first phase of a larger investigation designed to identify key or common factors coincident with induced seismicity and/or to delineate areas of higher induced seismicity likelihood within the KSMMA.

  • The Cypress Hills Gravel

    The Cypress Hills Gravel

    Appendix 6 The Cypress Hills Gravel The Cypress Hills are a broad, eastward-extending anticline 1 that has been planed on generally horizontal sedimentary rocks. In a few locations, the Cypress Hills planation surface bevels dipping sedimentary rocks. 2 Steep slopes separate the plateau from the plains to the north. To the south a “pediment-like” planation surface slopes gently away from the plateau3,4,5 to the level of the plains. The plains are also a generally flat plana- tion surface (the Flaxville planation surface) with occasional beveling of the sedimentary rocks.6 Pediments are one of the geomorphological subjects of volume III. Predominantly Quartzite Gravel from the Rocky Mountains The gravel or conglomerate capping the Cypress Hills is weakly stratified, poorly sorted, imbricated, and clast supported.7,8,9,10 The western and central Cypress Hills have a few fine-grained interbeds. Gravel in the western area lies on the Ravenscrag Forma- tion (locally it lies on the Frenchman Formation) which consists mostly of soft silt and clay with minor cross-bedded sandstone.1,11 Lozenge-shaped sandstone rocks from these formations are sometimes found within the Cypress Hills Formation.1 The Cypress Hills gravel rests on a slightly uneven planation surface with a relief of less than 50 feet (15 m).10 In the eastern Cypress Hills, the coarse gravel is estimated up to 245 feet (75 m) 1 Furnival, G.M., 1950.
