Triassic Stratigraphy in the Vicinity of Peace River Foothills, British Columbia [Abstract]
The marine Triassic sequence of the Peace River foothills includes all stages of the Triassic except the Rhaetian. The sequence is divided into two groups, the Lower and Middle Triassic Diaber Group and the Middle and Upper Triassic Schooler Creek Group.
In surface exposures, the Daiber Group is divisible into the Grayling and Toad Formations and the "Mount Wright" siltstones and sandstones (correlative to the Doig Formation of subsurface nomenclature).
The Schooler Creek is divisible into the Halfway sandstone, the Charlie Lake Formation of highly variable lithology, the Baldonnel limestone and the Pardonet silty limestone.
Seven faunal assemblage zones are recognized:
- Monotis subcircularis
- Himavites
- Stikinoceras
- Lima poyana
- Nathorstites meconnelli--Aulacothyris petriani
- Daonella americana--Gymnotoceras
- Claraia stachei--Xenoceltites warreni
