It takes the name from the community Stony Mountain, Manitoba, and was first described in the town quarry by D.B. Dowling in 1900.[1] LithologySubdivisionsThe Stony Mountain Formation is divided in the following sub-units: [2]
DistributionThe Stony Mountain Formation occurs throughout the Williston Basin.[2] It reaches a maximum thickness of {{convert|45|m|ft|-1}} in the sub-surface at the Canada/United States border, and thins out towards the east, north and west. In Manitoba, where it is exposed at the surface in the erosion belt, it has a thickness of {{convert|30|m|ft|-1}}. Relationship to other unitsThe Stony Mountain Formation is slightly unconformably overlain by the Stonewall Formation and sharply overlays the Red River Formation or the Herald Formation.[2] References1. ^Dowling, D.B., 1900.
