Distribution
The Fernie Formation reaches a maximum thickness of 400 metres (1,310 ft) near Mount Allan, and typically has 70 to 150m. It thins out toward the east, and disappears at the longitude of Calgary. The formation is exposed in outcrops in south-eastern British Columbia in the Kootenays region, in the foothills and front ranges of the Canadian Rockies in southern Alberta and as far north as the Peace River Country in north-western British Columbia

Famous quotes containing the word distribution:
“My topic for Army reunions ... this summer: How to prepare for war in time of peace. Not by fortifications, by navies, or by standing armies. But by policies which will add to the happiness and the comfort of all our people and which will tend to the distribution of intelligence [and] wealth equally among all. Our strength is a contented and intelligent community.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The man who pretends that the distribution of income in this country reflects the distribution of ability or character is an ignoramus. The man who says that it could by any possible political device be made to do so is an unpractical visionary. But the man who says that it ought to do so is something worse than an ignoramous and more disastrous than a visionary: he is, in the profoundest Scriptural sense of the word, a fool.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Classical and romantic: private language of a family quarrel, a dead dispute over the distribution of emphasis between man and nature.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
