Quantitative Techniques in Ichnology and Sedimentology with Examples from the Cretaceous McMurray Formation, NE Alberta, Canada
DownloadSpring 2018
Process ichnology is a relatively new ichnological tool whereby trace fossils are interpreted as the product of changing infaunal stresses including: salinity fluctuation, reduced oxygenation, high sedimentation rates, reduced nutrient availability, and elevated hydraulic energy. In this...

Fall 2011
The Lower Cretaceous Clearwater Formation in east-central Alberta contains the second largest oil sands deposit in Canada. In the Cold Lake area, 43 cored intervals were examined and classified based on physical and biogenic sedimentary structures. Core analysis and stratigraphic mapping...

Spring 2014
Ichnology concerns the study of interactions between organisms and both soft and hard substrates. Actualistic observation of a modern day river channel molluscan assemblage including unionid and sphaeriid bivalves and gastropods within the Saint John River, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada...

Ichnology of the upper Toad and lower Liard formations, northeastern British Columbia: implications for infaunal recovery after the Permian- Triassic mass extinction
DownloadSpring 2012
The Middle Triassic upper Toad and lower Liard formations at Williston Lake in northwestern British Columbia contain a suite of highly diverse ichnofossils. The environmental distribution of the ichnofossils is wide, ranging from marine offshore to upper shoreface. Compared with the Lower...

Chemostratigraphy and facies analysis of the Hare Indian Formation in the Mackenzie Mountains and Central Mackenzie Valley, Northwest Territories, Canada
DownloadFall 2020
The Hare Indian Formation, a Givetian aged organic rich mudstone, is the basal formation of the Horn River Group in the Northwest Territories, Canada. It is subdivided into two members: the basal Bluefish Member and the upper Bell Creek Member. Recent interest in unconventional resource plays...

Bioturbation and Resource Quality: A Case Study from the Upper Cretaceous Lysing and Nise Formations, Ellida and Midnatsoll Fields, Norwegian Sea
DownloadSpring 2013
Nine cores (approx. 156 m) within the Upper Cretaceous Lysing and Nise formations (Møre Basin, Norwegian continental shelf) are studied in order to assess the relationship between bioturbate fabric and the resulting permeability distribution. Overall, the Lysing and Nise formations strata...

Sedimentology and stratigraphy of the Granite Wash: Contact Rapids and Keg River Sandstone (Red Earth area)
DownloadFall 2010
The Granite Wash is comprised of diachronous, Cambrian to Devonian sandstone deposits, which include the Devonian Contact Rapids and Keg River sandstones of which this study will focus. Prolific oil production from the Granite Wash has fueled exploration since the 1950s and as a result...

Sedimentological, Ichnological, and Architectural Characteristics of Geobodies in a Fluvial to Estuary Setting: the McMurray Formation in the Christina River area, NE Alberta, Canada
DownloadSpring 2023
The Lower Cretaceous McMurray Formation is the primary host of the crude bitumen reserves in the Athabasca Oils Sand Region. The regionally extensive meander belts associated with estuary point bars have been recognized as the primary reservoir facies in the McMurray Formation. It is widely...

Sedimentology and Neoichnology of a Wave-Dominated, Tidally-Influenced, Fully Marine Bay, Oregon, USA
DownloadFall 2013
In the field of ichnology it is understood that modern process ichnological observations of biogenically generated structures, in response to various physicochemical parameters, have substantial applicability to deciphering trace fossil assemblages observed in the rock record. Previous research...

Paleodepositional Environments and Stratigraphic Framework for the Lower Cretaceous Bluesky Formation and Related Strata in the Peace River Oil Sands Deposit of Alberta
DownloadFall 2017
The Early Cretaceous Bluesky Formation in the Peace River oil sands area of west-central Alberta, Canada hosts significant bitumen resources. This work is part of an ongoing endeavour by researchers and practitioners in academia and industry to develop paleodepositional and sequence stratigraphic...
