Stratigraphy, Sedimentology, Coal Geology and Depositional Environments of the Lower Cretaceous Gething Formation, Northeastern British Columbia and West-central Alberta


Book Description

The Gething Formation in northeastern British Columbia has long been of economic interest as a potential source of thermal and metallurgical coal. This report, which is based on 20 field sections, 34 coal exploration borehole cores and 19 geophysical and lithological well logs from petroleum exploration boreholes, describes the regional geology of the formation and provides detailed information and data on lithofacies, lithofacies relationships, age and correlation of important lithostratigraphic marker units, the distribution of coal seams and the depositional setting.




Stratigraphy and Sedimentology of the Lower Cretaceous Gething Formation, Carbon Creek Coal Basin, Northeastern British Columbia


Book Description

The report is based on field work undertaken during the summer of 1974. Thirty-three rotary cores were examined and sampled in detail as a means of providing data on 1) the facies and facies relationships, and 2) the distribution, thickness, and continuity of coal seams in the Gething Formation within a very limited area of the western Foothills. Sedimentary structures and other sedimentological data were also recorded to aid in describing and interpreting the depositional environments and history of deposition in the area.







Sedimentary Cover of the Craton in Canada


Book Description

The early chapters of the volume present data and interpretations of the geophysics of the craton and summarise, with sequential maps, the tectonic evolution of the craton. The main body of the text and accompanying plates and figures present the stratigraphy, structural history, and economic geology of specific sedimentary basins and regions. The volume concludes with a summary chapter in which the currently popular theories of cratonal tectonics are discussed and the unresolved questions are identified.
