Sedimentary rock units catalogue

A catalogue of names of all sedimentary rock units in Canada is maintained by the Paleontology Subdivision of the Geological Survey of Canada, Calgary.

Publishing any new stratigraphic names?

Earth scientists publishing new names for groups, formations, or members  of sedimentary rocks in Canada are requested to submit their proposed name for entry to the list. The name will be checked to make sure it hasn't already been used, and if it hasn't, it will be reserved to protect it from duplication by other authors. The list serves as a major tool in the compilation of lexicons of Canadian stratigraphic names.
