The Gravelbourg Formation is a stratigraphical unit of Bajocian age in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. It takes the name from the town of Gravelbourg, and was first described in well ''Tidewater Eastend Crown No. 1'' by R.L. Milner and G.E. Thomas in 1954.〔Milner, R.L. and Thomas, G E., 1954. Jurassic System in Saskatchewan. In: Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, American Association of Petroleum Geologists, p. 250-267〕 ==Lithology== The Gravelbourg Formation is divided in two members, Lower and Upper Gravelbourg. The lower member is composed of dolomitic limestone with green shale laminations in the upper part, chalcedonic chert and anhydrite in the lower part and a basal shale bed with fish scales and anhydrite. The upper Gravelbourg consists of dark shale with sandstone and argillaceous limestone stringers and a tan mudstone bed at the top. 〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gravelbourg Formation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
