61 also on the north bank of Peace River, downstream from Branham Flat. At the latter locality the Fernie is at a much lower level than its actual outcrop, having moved downhill in a landslide. Only a few pelecypods have been collected at this place, and the thickness of the group is unknown. Farther west, on the north side of Peace River between Tepee Rocks Spur and the west spur of Brown Hill, the depression called Tepee Rocks Coulée is excavated out of the easily eroded rocks of the Fernie group (See Figure 8). These rocks consist of about 700 feet of dark, partly car- bonaceous shale; rare greenish, probably glauconitic shale; and some layers of impure limestone and very fine sandstone. The contact with the over- lying beds of the Bullhead group is gradational and apparently conform- able. The valley of Black Bear Creek! on the north side of Peace River, north of Pardonet Hill, is carved out of the soft weathering beds of the Fernie. A pee measured by Beach and Spivak (1944), is as follows, in descending order: Thickness Feet (Approximate) Shale, black, hackly, fissile; sandstone, dark grey, fine; clay Ironstone minim an vat hing bedseer treet lerieicielelerelereiaicis 125 Shale, black; sandstone, carbonaceous, dark brown, crossbedded; Imsthins DEAS! spe whe trreietean eats tepete ron stele) 6 cf a afeleis ta elete etm = Shale, black, fissile; concealed intervals................-20000- 925 ARON esate aor eer enc OR OG eae Acie STC RCH CAI 1,100 The contact with the overlying Bullhead is gradational; that with the under- lying Triassic, disconformable. Shales of the Fernie group also outcrop on Nabesche River, about 2 miles above its confluence with the Peace (Beach and Spivak, 1944). A section, 300 feet thick, consisting of beds of shale, 4 feet thick, and thin beds of limestone, is exposed in high cut banks (Williams and Bocock, 1932). This, of course, is only part of the group. On the south side of Peace River, Beach and Spivak have seen shales of the Fernie in the vicinity of Stott Creek. Mathews (1947) has recorded 350+ feet of shaly beds on Indian Head and 500 feet of similar beds on the eastern slope of Carbon Peak. Halfway River Valley to Sikanni Chief River Valley Jurassic rocks have been reported from the west slope of Pink Mountain, about 34 miles north of Halfway hiver, by Hage (1944). They comprise about 130 feet of dark grey to black, calcareous shale, with several beds of dark grey limestone and a 2-foot layer of argillaceous limestone at the base. ‘The section contains marine fossils. Below Chicken Creek, on Sikanni Chief River, Hage (1944) observed about 30 feet of Jurassic shale, but 11 miles to the west on the same river he measured 240 fect. Farther north, on a tributary of Minaker River, the Fernie shales are only 18 feet thick. 1A short ereek on the north side of Peace River, immediately west of Black Bear Ridge and north of Pardonet Hill.
