A stratigraphical study of the Coloradoan of the Manitoba escarpment with special reference to certain of the calcareous horizons

Abstract

The geology of Manitoba was studied in a very general way by early explorers after De LaVerendrye's march across the prairies in 1734. It was not until 1875, however, that the Geological Survey of Canada inaugurated its systematic investigation in Manitoba and during the past fifty years the geology of the Province has been interpreted mainly through reconnaissance work. Thus many problems of stratigraphical succession still remain to be solved...
