The Horseshoe Canyon Formation is a stratigraphic unit of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin in southwestern Alberta. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It takes its name from Horseshoe Canyon , an area of badlands near Drumheller .
Hard sandstones commonly cap mesas, buttes and plateaus where erosion has formed badlands topography, as is the case for much of the Horseshoe Canyon Formation and the Scollard Formation. Coarse-grained sediments are rare in the Edmonton Group. [1]
Horseshoe Canyon Formation (Edmonton Group) Late Cretaceous: Campanian to early Maastrichtian: sandstone, siltstone, coal: nonmarine Ireton Formation: Late Devonian: Frasnian: shale: marine Judith River Formation (Belly River Formation) Late Cretaceous: Campanian: sandstone, siltstone: nonmarine Judith River Group/Dinosaur Park Formation: Late ...
More than 95 percent of the CBM wells were completed in the Upper Cretaceous Horseshoe Canyon and Belly River formations, at typical depths of 300 to 2,400 feet (91–732 m). About 4 percent of the CBM wells are completed in the Lower Cretaceous Mannville Formation , at depths of 2,300 to 4,300 feet (700–1,310 m).
Horseshoe Canyon is a region of badlands surrounded by prairie in the province of Alberta, Canada. It is located about 11 miles (17 km) west of the town of Drumheller , Alberta , along Highway 9 . The canyon gets its name from its horseshoe shape, defined by two coulees that flow into the Kneehill Creek, a tributary of the Red Deer River .
Additional explorations by Wilson and others expanded the areas proposed for inclusion into the new national park to include the confluence of Green and Colorado rivers, the Maze District, and Horseshoe Canyon. [7] In 1961, Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall was scheduled to address a conference at Grand Canyon National Park. On his flight ...
The Grand Canyon in Arizona is one of Earth's natural wonders, carved out over millions of years by the gradual erosion power of the Colorado River. Close to the moon's south pole are two canyons ...
Horseshoe Canyon Formations exposed in Horseshoe Canyon near Drumheller, Alberta. Oxfordian (Upper Jurassic) cyclic sediments at Péry-Reuchenette, near Tavannes, kanton Bern, Switzerland. Alternating layers are limestone (light, more competent) and marl/clay; dominant cycle is the 200000 year-cycle.
