It takes the name from the Lynx Mountain, a {{convert|3170|m|ft|sp=us}} peak in the Cushina Ridge on the continental divide, and was first described on its slopes, east of Mount Robson, in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia by C.D. Walcott in 1913.[1] It was elevated to group status by J.D. Aitken and R.G. Greggs in 1967.[2] LithologyThe Lynx Formation is composed of argillaceous and dolomitic limestone. [3]DistributionThe Lynx Formation Lateral reaches a maximum thickness of {{convert|1220|m|ft|-1}} in the continental ranges of the Canadian Rockies.[3] It reaches as far north as the Monkman Pass.
