|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NE Richardson Mountains (from 750-790 ft of upper shale-siltstone division) | Jeletzky J. A. (1968) | STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the "upper shale-siltstone division" of an unnamed lithostratigraphic unit, for which lithostratigraphic relations are not discussed. AGE: Valanginian, on the basis of ammonite biostratigraphy; Crioceras remondi zone. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: List is representative of this zone; upper 750-790 ft. | "siliciclastic" | 129.4 - 125 Ma Early/Lower Cretaceous | |
| NE Richardson Mountains (lower 750 ft of upper shale-siltstone division) | Jeletzky J. A. (1968) | STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the "upper shale-siltstone division" of an unnamed lithostratigraphic unit, for which lithostratigraphic relations are not discussed. AGE: Valanginian, on the basis of ammonite biostratigraphy; Crioceras remondi zone. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: List is representative of this zone; lower 750 ft of upper shale-siltstone division. | "shale" | 129.4 - 125 Ma Early/Lower Cretaceous | |
| NE Richardson Mountains (top 200-220 ft of upper shale-siltstone division) | Jeletzky J. A. (1968) | STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the "upper shale-siltstone division" of an unnamed lithostratigraphic unit, for which lithostratigraphic relations are not discussed. AGE: Valanginian, on the basis of ammonite biostratigraphy; Crioceras remondi zone. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: List is representative of this zone; upper 200-220 ft of upper member of upper shale-siltstone division. | "shale" | 129.4 - 125 Ma Early/Lower Cretaceous | |
| Richardson Mtns., Road River Fm. | Churkin, Jr. M., Brabb E. E. (1965) | Road River | "shale" | 427.4 - 423 Ma Silurian | |
| Richardson Mtns., Road River Fm. | Jackson D. E., Lenz A. C. (1962) | Road River | "lower Lland." | "shale" | 443.4 - 433.4 Ma Silurian |
| Lower Canyon of the Peel River | Jackson D. E., Lenz A. C. (1962) | Road River - Lower Road River | "prob. Lower Arenig." Road River is really a group, but not all of it has been split into new formations. In this zonation scheme, the Bryograptus - Clonograptus zone was beneath the Tetragraptus approximatus zone and above the Staurograptus zone. This probably spans the Anisograptus matanensis to Paradelograptus kinnegraptoides zones given Jackson & Lenz 2006. | "limestone" | 478.6 - 466 Ma Ordovician |
