Gething Formation is a stratigraphical unit of Lower Cretaceous age in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.
It was first described in the Peace River Canyon by F.H. McLearn in 1923. The canyon was partly inundated in 1968 by the Williston Lake after the construction of the W. A. C. Bennett Dam. The Formation is named for Gething Creek, a right tributary of the Peace River west of Hudson's Hope and the nearby Gething Mountain.

Famous quotes containing the word formation:
“I want you to consider this distinction as you go forward in life. Being male is not enough; being a man is a right to be earned and an honor to be cherished. I cannot tell you how to earn that right or deserve that honor. . . but I can tell you that the formation of your manhood must be a conscious act governed by the highest vision of the man you want to be.”
—Kent Nerburn (20th century)
