Fernie Formation, Shale formation in British Columbia, Canada.
The Fernie Formation contains extensive deposits of dark gray shale that extend across the mountainous regions of eastern British Columbia.
The formation developed during the Devonian period when marine sediments accumulated in deep waters, creating layers of compressed organic materials.
Geologists and researchers from Canadian universities regularly conduct field studies at the formation to examine sedimentary patterns and fossil content.
Access to the formation requires specialized permits from the British Columbia Geological Survey and appropriate safety equipment for geological fieldwork.
The formation's shale composition contains natural gas deposits that contribute to British Columbia's energy resources through modern extraction methods.
