west (McLearn, 1941). As the section immediately west of the Tepee
Rocks has not been studied, it is not known what the structure is there.

Pardonet Anticline
(See Figure 9)

On Pardonet Hill, the Triassic ‘Grey beds’ and Pardonet beds dip
steeply to the west. On a low ridge east of Pardonet Hill, the beds flatten
and then dip east at a low angle. The resultant fold crosses Peace River,
and appears in cliffs on the north side of the valley north of the Wallace
Ranch (McLearn, 1947).

Carbon Creek Basin

The Carbon Creek basin has been described and mapped by Mathews
(1947). It trends about north 22 degrees west, and extends more than 25
miles from Schooler Creek, north of the Peace, to the headwaters of Mc-
Allister Creek. It is about 9 miles wide, from Mount Rochfort to Battle
(Saddle) Mountain. It is a shallow structure in the northwest, but deepens
southeastward, reaching a maximum depth near Eleven Mile Creek. From
there it shallows to the southeast, and finally ends, passing into a highly
folded structure near the head of McAllister Creek. The middle and
greater part of the basin is filled with ‘Non-marine Bullhead’ beds, which
are rimmed on all sides by outcropping bands of the Monteith, Beattie
Peaks, and Monach formations of the marine and lower part of the
Bullhead group (Mathews, 1947).

As already stated, a southeastward continuation of the Horseshoe
Hill structure marks the northeastern border of the basin. Mathews shows
it to be a faulted anticline, with, near Carbon Peak, low southwest dips on
the southwest limb of the structure and steeper dips on the northeast side.
A single thrust fault, dipping southwest, is shown on his cross-sections.
The movement on this thrust fault is estimated by Mathews to be 3,000 feet
in the northwest, near Peace River, and 10,000 feet in the southeast, near
Wright Lake.

The basin is limited on the southwest by an anticlinal belt, thought to
be continuous with the Folded Hill structure on Peace River. On Mount
Barr and Mount Wrigley this structure consists of a single anticline; on
The Monach it comprises several folds (Mathews, 1947).

Fisher Creek Structural Zone

The highly folded structure that forms the southeastern limit of the
Carbon Creek basin at the headwaters of McAllister Creek, extends almost
to Moberly River. Beyond this, the beds plunge to the southeast and what
may be called the Fisher Creek structural zone, in alinement with the
Carbon Creek basin, appears. South of Moberly River, this structural
zone, as mapped by Mathews (1947), comprises a deep syncline with small,
subsidiary folds. Farther southeast, in Pine River Valley, this structure is
more complex; near the axis of the syncline are several small, subsidiary
folds and a thrust fault. ‘The Moosebar formation outcrops in the central
part of this structure and the Non-marine Bullhead on the flanks (Mathews,

1947).
