The Lynx Formation or Lynx Group is a stratigraphical unit of Dresbachian age in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. It takes the name from the Lynx Mountain, a peak in the Cushina Ridge on the continental divide, and was first described on its slopes, east of Mount Robson, in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia by C.D. Walcott in 1913.〔Walcott, C.D., 1913. Cambrian formations of the Robson Peak District, British Columbia and Alberta, Canada. Smithsonian Misc. Coll., v. 47, no. 12, p. 327-343.〕 It was elevated to group status by J.D. Aitken and R.G. Greggs in 1967.〔Aitken, J. D and Greggs, R G., 1967 Upper Cambrian formations, southern Rocky Mountains of Alberta, an interim report. Geological Survey of Canada, Paper 66-49.〕 ==Lithology== The Lynx Formation is composed of argillaceous and dolomitic limestone. 〔 〕 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「Lynx Formation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
