Slave_Point_Formation
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.[2] It was subsequently defined in the subsurface by J. Law in 1955,[3] based on lithology encountered in the California Standard Steen River 2-22-117-5W6M well in Alberta.
