The Slave Point Formation is a stratigraphical unit of Middle Devonian age in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. It takes the name from Slave Point, a promontory on the north-west shore of the Great Slave Lake, and was first described in outcrop on the southern shore of the lake and along the Buffalo River by A.E. Cameron in 1918〔Cameron, A.E., 1918. Explorations in the vicinity of Great Slave Lake; Geological Survey of Canada, Summary Report 1917, Part C, pp. 21-28.〕 It was subsequently defined in the subsurface by J. Law in 1955,〔Law, James, 1955. Geology of northwestern Alberta and adjacent areas; American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), Bulletin of the AAPG, vol. 39, no. 10 (October), pp. 1927-1975.〕 based on lithology encountered in the ''California Standard Steen River 2-22-117-5W6M'' well in Alberta. ==Lithology== The Slave Point Formation is composed of brown limestone, crystalline dolomite and shale laminae. 〔 〕 It contains stromatoporoids in north-eastern British Columbia and southern Northwest Territories and in the Peace River Arch. 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「Slave Point Formation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
