A comprehensive review and reappraisal of the Howell Creek structure : indication of multiple extension events in the southern Canadian Rocky Mountains, southeastern British Columbia and southwestern Alberta...: M183-2/8504E-PDF

"The Howell Creek structure was first mapped 60 years ago as a structural window (fenster) through the Lewis Thrust, where Upper Cretaceous foreland basin strata are bounded on all sides by Mesoproterozoic through Triassic platformal strata. Later interpretations ranged from the involvement of cryptic thrust and normal faults to a coherent gravitational slide. None of these, however, has adequately accounted for all available observations and constraints within the context of structural styles and physiography normally encountered in thin-skinned thrust-and-fold belts. Recent GIS map compilation required a reappraisal of these interpretations"--Abstract, page 2.
