A petrographic study of the granite wash in the clear hills area, Alberta.

“Granite wash” refers to partly reworked residual material overlying the basement and underlying marine strata. Its distribution is irregular and its age varies from place to place. Recent oil discoveries have made the Granite Wash economically interesting. Representative samples from a cored wall,...
