GOOSEBERRY MEMBER.

Oriel and Tracey (1970:55) place this uppermost member provisionally

within the Fowkes Formation. Most of the Gooseberry Member is a

puddingstone, a lithology with well-rounded, spherical pebbles in a

marlstone, sandstone, or sandy limestone matrix. The pebbles are too

rounded for the rock to be a diamictite, and too separated from each

other to be called a conglomerate.

The nature of the Gooseberry-Bulldog Hollow contact is not completely

known. It appears to be gradational in some areas and to be an angular

unconformity in others.
