“…It rests, unconformably in most areas, upon carbonate or mixed siliciclastic-carbonate strata of Carboniferous to Permian age [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. The succession was deposited in a west-facing, arcuate extensional basin on the western margin of Pangaea [23][24][25][26][27]. The Montney Formation consists of siltstone, very fine-grained sandstone, bioclastic packstone/grainstone (coquina, in Alberta) [19,20], interlaminated, interbedded, dolomitic silty-sandstone [12][13][14]22] and shale.…”
