Peechee_Formation
The Southesk Formation is a stratigraphic unit of Late Devonian (late Frasnian) age. It is present on the western edge of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin in the Rocky Mountains and foothills of Alberta and southeastern British Columbia. It was named for the Southesk River in Jasper National Park by D.J. McLaren in 1955.[2]
The formation consists primarily of dolomite[1] and it preserves fossils of marine animals such as stromatoporoids and rugose corals.[2]
