Paskapoo Groundwater Study Part III: detailed core measured sections of the Paskapoo Formation in central Alberta
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Paskapoo Formation, of Paleocene age, is an important, but poorly-understood groundwater aquifer in western Alberta, and is now emerging as a shallow gas reservoir. Because the Paskapoo represents the bedrock at surface over its area of occurrence, and has not previously been a major hydrocarbon target, there has been little study of outcrop or subsurface data. This report summarizes subsurface core work in central Alberta, primarily from wells located north and east of the cities of Calgary and Red Deer, where Paskapoo rocks form the bedrock surface unit. Most of the eight cores are positioned relatively close to the outcrop edge of the Paskapoo Formation, and so only include strata from the underlying Scollard, and the lower and middle portions of the Paskapoo. The latest two cores were cut during a recent joint project between Geological Survey of Canada and University of Calgary in 2003-2005. In this report, the information is presented as standard measured sections, with text descriptions of units. The lower Paskapoo is characterized by thick, multi-storied fluvial channel sandstones (Haynes Member) whereas the middle Paskapoo comprises primarily thinly interbedded siltstones and sandstones (Lacombe Member). This report is meant to be complementary to two other Open Files on the outcrop measured sections of the Paskapoo of the Red Deer region (GSC OF 5535), and of the Calgary region (GSC OF 5536).

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
