Abstract
Type Section of the Kootenay Formation Grassy Mountain, Alberta
ABSTRACT
The type section of the Kootenay formation is proposed on the south face of Grassy Mountain, five miles north of Blairmore, Alberta. There the formation is split into four units, termed respectively, from the lowest, the Moose Mountain, Adanac, Hillcrest, and Mutz members.
The lower contact of the formation is gradational and is drawn to include the characteristically grey, carbonaceous, micaceous sandstones with platy siltstone interbeds in the Kootenay formation, and the brown, strongly limonitic sandstones with thin, rubbly weathering mudstone interbeds in the Fernie group. The upper contact of the formation, as in previous usage, is defined as the base of the lowest massive chert-pebble conglomerate of the Blairmore group.
