  • PINE VALLEY Mount Wabi to Solitude Mountain Northeastern British Columbia
    BRITISHCOLUMBIA DEPARTMENT OF MINES AND PETROLEUMRESOURCES HoN. D.L. BROTHERS,Minister K. B. BLAKEY,Deputy Minister ~~ BULLETIN No. 52 GEOLOGY of the PINE VALLEY Mount Wabi to Solitude Mountain Northeastern British Columbia by J. E. HUGHES GEOLOGY OF THE PINE .VALLEY Mount Wabi to Solitude Mountain Northeastern British Columbia SUMMARY 1. The map-area covers the Pine Valley, in the Rocky Mountain Foothills of northeastern British Columbia, from latitude 55 degrees 30 minutes to latitude 55 degrees 45 minutes north. 2. The exposed rocks are Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous in age. The suc- cession (Ladinian to Cenomanian) is between 10,000 and 20,000 feet thick, and mostly of marine deposition. Most stratigraphic units thicken westward. 3. In the Triassic, the Grey Beds contain limestones, dolomites, siltstones, and sandstones; and the overlying PardonetFormation, argillaceous limestones with fossil shell beds of Halobia and Monotis. 4. The Fernie Group of Jurassic age consists of: thin limestone, interbedded shales and siltstones with cherty banding, the Nordegg Beds; followed by the Middle Shales; and in the upper part, interbedded shales, siltstones, and sandstone:;, the Transition Beds, which mark the change to Beaudette deposition. 5. The Beaudette Group of late Jurassic to early Cretaceous age has three formations: the Monteith, thick sandstones mostly, and with quartzites in the 'upper third part; the BeattiePeaks, interbedded shales, siltstones, andsandstones; and the Monach Formation,sandstones, with or without quartzite beds at the top. Facies changes and incomplete outcrops make it advisable to map Beaudette strata as an undivided unit to the west. 6. Coal measures overlying Beaudette strata are described by the term Crassier Group.

  • 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.

  • Geology and Coal Resources Carbon Creek-Mount Bickford Map-Area

Geology and Coal Resources of the Carbon Creek- Mount Bickford Map-area. INTRODUCTION. The geological investigation of the Carbon Creek-Mount Eickford map-area was made with the purpose of obtaining information on the coal resources of the Carbon Creek basin and of the area between this coalfield and the Hasler Creekfield. Par- tieular attention was paid to the structure and distribution of coal-bearing rocks and to any exposures of coal of possible commercial significance. Much of the area between the Carbon Creek and Hasler Creek coalfields proved to he underlain by a succession of marine sediments, hitherto virtually unknown, and a more or less detailed study of these rocks was made during the survey. A drilling programme in the Carbon Creek basin is being planned by the owners of coal lands there, and theresult of this work is expected to provide muchmore infor- mation on the continuity and tonnage of the coal deposits, and may also indicate some modification tothe stratigraphy and structure as interpretedby the writer from surface exposures. One month in 1944 was spent in field-work, chiefly in the Carbon Creek basin, and two months in 1945 chiefly in the area south-east of the Carbon Creek basin and in the Pine River Valley.

  • Prepared For
    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.

  • High Resolution Sedimentology of the Upper Jurassic Nikanassin
    High Resolution Sedimentology of the Upper Jurassic Nikanassin Formation, in the Grande Cache Area of Alberta Jon Noad Shell Canada Energy, Calgary, Alberta [email protected] Torrie Turner Shell Canada Energy, Calgary, Alberta [email protected] Summary Several excellent outcrops of the Upper Jurassic Nikanassin Formation can be examined along Highway 40, close to Grande Cache. Two outcrops exposed within the Stearn Anticline allow the chance to compare and contrast a dominantly braided portion of the Nikanassin with a clearly meandering portion of the same Formation. The close proximity of the outcrops allows the chance to compare two strikingly different fluvial depositional settings, and to draw conclusions on how and more importantly why these differences occur. The larger scale bedforms of the braided section are interpreted as downstream accreting macroforms, in contrast to the lateral accretion surfaces of the meandering system. The proportions of the fluvial channel and crevasse splay lithofacies components are also very different. Diagnostic criteria are developed for the two depositional settings, and interpretations are put forward to explain why these differences occur, and their potential impact on sand distribution. Introduction Sedimentological analysis of ancient fluvial deposits is hardly new. However the fieldwork undertaken during this study, close to Grande Cache, utilized high resolution logging and photo mosaic interpretation to build up a highly detailed picture of the sedimentary architecture of two contrasting fluvial depositional settings, in close stratigraphic proximity. The results could be used to investigate the net:gross; stacking patterns; the contrasting proportions of lithofacies; and diagnostic criteria of each setting. They could also be used to interpret the environments of deposition in minutiae, and to consider the impact on sand distribution laterally and vertically.
