Lower Triassic Coelacanths of the Sulphur Mountain Formation (Wapiti Lake) in British Columbia, Canada
DownloadFall 2011
The coelacanths from the Lower Triassic Sulphur Mountain Formation (Wapiti Lake) have been known for nearly 100 years, though they remained undescribed. Preliminary works identified them as belonging to a single undescribed species of Whiteia; however, six distinct coelacanths were identified:...

Pairing geochemistry and sedimentology: an evaluation of Alberta’s earliest Triassic deposits and the proxies used to study them
DownloadSpring 2020
The end-Permian mass extinction, 250 million years ago, was the largest in Earth’s history, with estimates of faunal species loss up to ~90%. Western Canada plays host to deposits spanning the Permian-Triassic boundary (the Belloy and Montney Formations) allowing for the paleoenvironmental...

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...

The depositional framework and stratigraphic architecture of the Lower Triassic Montney Formation, northeastern British Columbia
DownloadFall 2022
The Lower Triassic Montney Formation contains some of the largest unconventional hydrocarbon plays in the world, and over the last decades has become critical to Canada’s main energy resources. These unconventional plays consist mainly of fine- to coarse-grained siltstone beds which are difficult...
