...Filippo Ferri; Margot McMechan; Omid H. Ardakani; Hamed Sanei Abstract In Liard Basin of northern British Columbia, syn-depositional motion on the Bovie structure resulted in greater thicknesses of Cretaceous sediments. The Early Cretaceous Garbutt Formation was deposited during the initiation...

...Dale A. Leckie; Daniel J. Potocki ABSTRACT Lower Cretaceous strata in the Liard Basin of northeastern British Columbia, southwestern Yukon Territory and southwestern Northwest Territories consist of fluvial to shoreline sediments of the Chinkeh Formation overlain by marine shale of the Garbutt...

...Figure 2 —Structure contour map on base of the Garbutt Formation (top of Chinkeh Formation sandstone) using wireline log data from within and around the Liard basin. Faults at surface are from Stott (1982) . ...

... along the deformation front likely because of higher sedimentation rates and higher thermal maturities compared to the distal parts of the basin. Although the Garbutt Formation is the northern lithostratigraphic equivalent of the Moosebar-Wilrich Formations, these formations are diachronous...

...Figure 3 Biostratigraphic and detrital zircon age control for the Chinkeh and Garbutt formations in the Liard Basin. Absolute ages for stage boundaries from Cohen et al., 2015 . Leckie et al. (1991) biostratigraphic constraints came from Kotaneelee Gap ( Fig. 1 , Dale Leckie pers. comm., 2015). ...

... the shales of the Cruiser formation in the south and overlies the shales of the upper part of the Sikanni formation in the location area. The lower part of the Sikanni formation is arenaceous in varying degrees together with the Goodrich formation. The Buckinghorse, Hasler, Lepine, Garbutt, and Moosebar...

... 1956 ; Stelck et al. 1956 ). The megafossils of the Clearwater, Moosebar, upper Garbutt, and upper Loon River formations include Beudanticeras and Subarcthoplites , indicating early Albian age. Presence of the ammonite Cleoniceras in the upper radiolarian fauna of the Loon River shales ( Trollope...

... Slave Plain but only west of about 119°W, just west of the Cameron Hills. In the type area of northeast British Columbia, Fort St. John strata consist of the following formations (bottom to top): Chinkeh (sandstone), Garbutt (shale), Scatter (sandstone), Lepine (shale), Sikanni (sandstone) and Sully...

... of the apparent absence of the Sikanni Formation east of the Liard River in the northern part of the Liard Basin the shale succession overlying the Scatter Formation is not differentiated ( Stott, 1982 ). The Lepine Formation attains a thickness of 1100 m in outcrop along the Liard River between Garbutt Creek...
