It is present in the southern Canadian Rockies of western Alberta from the Kananaskis area south to the Canada–United States border. It conformably to unconformably overlies the Tunnel Mountain Formation and is unconformably overlain by the Ishbel Group.[2] See also{{Portal|Earth sciences|Alberta|Paleontology|Carboniferous|Paleozoic}}
