Abstract

The nearest exposure to the plains of southern Alberta of the marine Jurassic Ellis formation is in the Sweetgrass Hills, a few miles south of the Alberta-Montana boundary. Here it is a dark shale series containing medium-grained sandstone beds, a limestone zone, some notably fossiliferous strata, and oil showings near the base. The formation is 306 feet thick at this locality.
