Controls on organic-rich mudstone deposition: The Devonian Duvernay Formation, Alberta, Canada
DownloadSpring 2016
The Upper Devonian Duvernay Formation of Western Canada is a prolific source rock that in recent years has become an exploration target for shale gas and liquids. Development of the Duvernay Formation has demonstrated the importance of robust models for rock properties such as porosity,...

Expression of Major and Trace Element Signatures of the Frasnian Duvernay Formation within a Sea Level Context: insights into the processes that control mudstone composition, paleoredox conditions and organic matter enrichment
DownloadSpring 2016
This study evaluates the effects of sea level on redox conditions, shale composition and sediment provenance in the Late Devonian (Frasnian) Duvernay Formation of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) of Alberta, Canada, an organic-rich ‘black’ shale localized between the reefs and...

Petrophysical properties of bitumen from the Upper Devonian Grosmont reservoir, Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2009
The Upper Devonian Grosmont reservoir in Alberta, Canada, is the single largest carbonate bitumen reservoir in the world, with an estimated 400 billion barrels of bitumen in place. The Grosmont bitumen formed from light crude oil via extensive biodegradation, which produced extremely high in-situ...

Porosity and permeability in the Graminia Formation, Upper Devonian Winterburn Group in the Germain Field, northeastern Alberta
DownloadFall 2014
The Upper Devonian Graminia Formation (Winterburn Group) found in the Germain Field of northeastern Alberta includes the Blueridge Member (Frasnian) and the Upper Graminia Member (Famennian). A green silty-shale paleosol overlies the formation in this area. The bitumen-bearing dolostones of this...

Sequence Stratigraphy, Porosity, and Primary Producers of the Middle to Late Devonian Canol Formation, Northwest Territories, Canada
DownloadFall 2022
The Devonian Canol Formation of the Northwest Territories (NWT) is an organic-rich mudstone interval deposited in a tropical marine setting along the west coast of Ancestral North America. This unit preserves a record of local marine conditions in the Middle to Late Devonian, a time characterized...

Stratigraphy, paleogeography and tectonic evolution of early Paleozoic to Triassic pericratonic strata in the northern Kootenay Arc, southeastern Canadian Cordillera, British Columbia
DownloadSpring 2013
The northern Kootenay Arc in southeastern British Columbia hosts a near-continuous succession of Cambrian to Permian strata that were deposited in overlapping marginal basins outboard of the Canadian Cordilleran miogeocline. The basinal strata of the Late Cambrian and younger Lardeau Group are...

Fall 2021
The lower Athabasca River valley in northeastern Alberta, famous for oil sands mining, was also the site of one of North America largest Ice Age floods. During deglaciation, a large proglacial lake, Lake Agassiz, drained catastrophically through the Athabasca River valley. This catastrophic flood...

The Biology of Sclerobionts and their Hosts: Comparing Biomechanical Experiments on Brachiopod Hosts to Sclerobiont Distribution Maps
DownloadFall 2014
Sclerobionts and their host organisms provide a great deal of information for palaeoecological and palaeoenvironmental studies. However, any interpretation of sclerobiont – host relationships depends on an understanding of the host’s orientation. In the past, distinction of host life and...
