Quaternary Stratigraphy and Surficial Geology of the Sand River Area (NTS 73L)

This document describes the Quaternary stratigraphy, surficial geology, and Quaternary history of the area covered by the Sand River area (NTS 73L), east-central Alberta. Eight glacial and nonglacial formations were defined for the Quaternary sequence in the Sand River area. The thick drift cover, combined with a paucity of exposures, necessitated reliance on testhole data for the differentiation and correlation of these units.
