Stoddart Group

The Stoddart Group is a stratigraphical unit of Mississippian to Early Pennsylvanian age in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.

It takes the name from the Stoddart Creek, a creek that flows into Charlie Lake north of Fort St. John, and was first described in well Pacific Fort St. John #23 (at depths from 2000 to 2600m) by A.T.C.

[1] The Stoddart Group reaches a maximum thickness of 660 metres (2,170 ft) in the sub-surface north of Fort St. John in north-eastern British Columbia.

It is present in the sub-surface from the foothills of the Northern Rockies and eastwards into the Peace River Country in north-western Alberta.

[1] The Stoddart Group is composed of the following formations, from top to bottom: The Stoddart Group is overlain by the Ishbel Group in the foothills and the Prophet Formation in the northern plains; it conformably overlays the Debolt Formation.
