Appendix D: Cross SectionA SW

Coal 0
Cross Section: Drumheller A-A’ Log Scale 1:100
The difference in correlation from East Coulee to Willow Creek Canyon is attributed to change in depositional environment. At the time of deposition the paleo shoreline was to the south east relative to Willow Creek Canyon (Ainsworth 2015). Note: In the field coal 0 and coal 1 were observed to be parallel however due to potential measurement or calculation errors they are recorded here as having unequal isopach between the two. Potential errors introduced to data:
Improper placement or movement tape measure on outcrop Improper correction calculation to vertical Due to distance between East Coulee and Willow Creek Canyon there may be errors in interpreted correlations.
The Lower portion of East Coulee was removed for purposes of correlation (see appendix B for full section)
