Abstract

After listing some geomorphologic problems of southwestern Alberta, field evidence is described from a small area in the S. part of the city of Calgary. Two formations, a boulder clay and a Pleistocene fluvial sand, lie in contact; both are truncated by flat erosion surfaced (presumably of Recent age). The oldest surface, which tops the local hills, is in turn dissected by still more recent erosion that cut such valleys as that of the Elbow. The whole scene is interpreted to mean that an erosional planed surface on Pleistocene formations now constitutes an erosionally stagnet upland. (incl., 7 figs.)
