The Middle Devonian Kwataboahegan, Moose River, Murray Island, and Williams Island Formations have a combined thickness of about 700 feet and are composed predominantly of marine limestones with minor shale and evaporites. Although these formations are well developed in Moose River Basin, only the Kwataboahegan is present on the mainland part of Hudson Bay Basin. A more complete Middle Devonian sequence is presumably present offshore, beneath Hudson Bay. The Kwataboahegan Formation disconformably succeeds the Stooping River. It consist of tan and light to dark chocolate brown, bituminous, coral limestone. 2, record 1, English, - Kwataboahegan%20formation

Les formations de Kwataboahegan, de Moose River, de Murray Island et de Williams Island, toute du Dévonien moyen, ont une épaisseur combinée d'environ 700 pieds et sont composées surtout de calcaire marins renfermant un peu de schiste argileux et des évaporites. Bien que ces formations soient bien développées dans le bassin de la rivière Moose, seule la formation de Kwataboahegan a été reconnue dans la partie continentale du bassin de la baie d'Hudson. La formation de Kwataboahegan recouvre en discordance la formation de Stooping River et comprend du calcaire corallien, bitumineux, de couleur marron et brun chocolat de pâle à foncé. 3, record 1, French, - formation%20de%20Kwataboahegan
