Halbertsma in 1959.&lt;ref&gt;Halbertsma, Henk Leendert, 1959.

The Belloy was deposited along a northwest-trending, tidally-influenced, west-prograding shoreline. &lt;ref&gt;{{cite journal|last1=Naqvi|first1=I.H.|title=The Belloy Formation (Permian), Peace River Area, Northern Alberta and Northeastern British Columbia|journal=Bulletin of Canadian Petroleum Geology|date=1972|volume=20|issue=1|url=http://archives.datapages.com/data/cspg/data/020/020001/0058.htm?q=%2BtextStrip%3Abelloy+%2BtextStrip%3Aage}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Distribution==<br /> The Belloy Formation reaches a maximum thickness of {{convert|274|m|ft|-1}} in the [[Canadian Rockies]] foothills south of [[Fort St. John, British Columbia|Fort St. John]]. It thins out towards the east and occurs in the sub-surface throughout the [[Peace River Country]].<br /> <br /> ==Relationship to other units==<br /> The Belloy Formation is disconformably overlain by [[Triassic]] or younger beds ([[Montney Formation]], [[Fort St. John Group]]). It is [[unconformity|unconformably]] overlies [[Mississippian age|Mississippian]] sediments such as those of the [[Rundle Group]].<br /> <br /> The Belloy Formation is homotaxial with the [[Belcourt Formation]] and [[Kindle Formation]] of the [[Rocky Mountains]].<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> {{WCSB|Northwest_Plains=yes|Fort_Nelson=yes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Geologic formations of Alberta]]<br /> [[Category:Geologic formations of British Columbia]]<br /> [[Category:Permian northern paleotemperate deposits]]<br /> [[Category:Permian Alberta]]<br /> [[Category:Permian British Columbia]]<br /> [[Category:Sandstone formations of Canada]]<br /> [[Category:Siltstone formations of Canada]]<br /> [[Category:Conglomerate formations of Canada]]<br /> [[Category:Dolomite formations of Canada]]<br /> [[Category:Chert formations]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Canada-geologic-formation-stub}}</div>
