Abstract
"Horses" and Transverse Faults in the Lewis Thrust Sheet, Elk Range, Kananaskis Valley, Rocky Mountain Front Ranges, Southwestern Alberta
ABSTRACT
A large transverse fault, one of several transverse faults in the northern part of the Lewis Thrust sheet, exposed on the westerly dip slopes of the Elk Range, Kananaskis Valley, placed the Triassic Spray River Formation against the Jurassic Fernie Formation (50°36.5'N, 115° 4'W). An elongate development of numerous tectonically transported pod-like rock bodies of the Triassic Whitehorse Formation, known as "horses", are distributed along the fault contact. The detailed relationship between the transverse faults and the Lewis Thrust could not be observed due to inaccessible cliffs and covered slopes.
