ABSTRACT

An examination of Viking cores from wells located between Townships 14 and 34 from the Saskatchewan border to the Foothills belt was used as the basis for this paper. A number of micro-structural features are considered to be evidence of penecontemporaneous hydroplastic deformation. These features contradict the theory that the Viking is a shore or off-shore sediment, deposited during repeated minor transgressions and regressions. Deposition by turbidity currents is offered as an alternative interpretation.
