Relationship To Other Units

The Lea Park Formation is conformably overlain (and laterally replaced )by the Judith River Formation and conformably overlies the First White Speckled Shale of the Colorado Group.

It is equivalent to Judith River Formation, Clagett Formation and Eagle Formation in northern Montana, and is replaced by the Belly River Formation, Pakowki Formation and Milk River Formation in southern Alberta. In eastern Saskatchewan and in Manitoba it is equivalent to the Gammon Ferruginous Member, Pembina Member and lower Millwood Member of the Pierre Shale. The Lower Lea Park correlates with the Puskwaskau Formation in north-western Alberta, and the entire formation is equivalent to part of the Wapiabi Formation in the northern Canadian Rockies

Famous quotes containing the words relationship and/or units:

    It was a real treat when he’d read me Daisy Miller out loud. But we’d reached the point in our relationship when, in a straight choice between him and Henry James, I’d have taken Henry James any day even if Henry James were dead and not much of a one for the girls when living, either.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)
