From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Campbellton Formation is a
geologic formation in
New Brunswick . It preserves
fossils dating back to the latest
Pragian and
Emsian of the
Devonian
period .
[1]
Description
The Campbellton Formation is the southernmost representative of the
Gaspé Sandstones group
[2] and can be divided into 6 facies associations (restricted
lacustrine , marginal lacustrine, near-shore lacustrine, coastal-deltaic, sandy to gravelly
alluvial plain , and gravelly proximal alluvial environments), and is nearly a kilometer thick.
[1] Lacustrine facies are prevalent in the lower parts of the eastern belt (representing a large open lake) while upper parts of the formation are dominated by alluvial facies (representing an eastward-flowing axial
braided river system).
