The '''Allenby formation''' is a [[sedimentary rock]] [[formation (stratigraphy)|formation]] in [[British Columbia]] which was deposited during the [[Ypresian|Ypresian stage]] of the [[Early Eocene]]. It consists of [[conglomerate (geology)|conglomerates]], [[sandstone]]s with interbedded [[shale]]s and [[coal]].  The shales contain an abundance of insect, fish and plant fossils known from 1877 and onward, while the [[Princeton Chert]] was first indented in the 1950s and is known from anatomically preserved plants.

There are several notable fossil producing localities in the Princeton & Tulameen basins.  Historical collection sites included '''Nine Mile Creek''', '''Vermilian Bluffs''', and '''Whipsaw Creek''', while modern sites include '''One Mile Creek''', '''Pleasant Valley''', '''Thomas Ranch''', and the [[Princeton Chert]].

==Extent and correlation==
The Allenby is estimated to have an overall extent of approximately {{convert|300|km²|sqmi|abbr=on}}, though actual outcroppings of the formation make up less than 1% of the formation, while other exploratory contact is via boreholes and mines.  The [[graben|half-graben]] which contains the formation is separated into two major depositional basins, the Princeton basin around [[Princeton, British Columbia]] and the Tulameen basin centered approximately {{convert|17|km|mi|abbr=on}} west.  The grabens [[extensional fault]]s at the eastern side of the basin place the hanging wall Allenby strata in contact with much older [[foot wall]] strata of the [[Nicola Formation]] which dates to the [[Upper Triassic]].<ref name="Mustoe2010">{{cite journal |last1=Mustoe |first1=G. |year=2010 |title=Cyclic sedimentation in the Eocene Allenby Formation of south-central British Columbia and the origin of the Princeton Chert fossil beds |journal=Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences |volume=48 |issue=1 |pages=25–43 |doi=10.1139/e10-085}}</ref><ref name="Thomasranch">{{cite journal |last1=Dillhoff |first1=R.M. |last2=Dillhoff |first2=T.A. |last3=Greenwood |first3=D.R. |last4=DeVore |first4=M.L. |last5=Pigg |first5=K.B. |year=2013 |title=The Eocene Thomas Ranch flora, Allenby Formation, Princeton, British Columbia, Canada |journal=Botany |volume=91 |issue=8 |pages=514–529 |doi=10.1139/cjb-2012-0313}}</ref><ref name="OHReview">{{cite journal |last1=Greenwood |first1=D.R. |last2=Pigg |first2=K.B. |last3=Basinger |first3=J.F. |last4=DeVore |first4=M.L. |year=2016 |title=A review of paleobotanical studies of the Early Eocene Okanagan (Okanogan) Highlands floras of British Columbia, Canada, and Washington, U.S.A. |journal=Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences |volume=53 |issue=6 |pages=548–564 |doi=10.1139/cjes-2015-0177|bibcode=2016CaJES..53..548G |doi-access=free |hdl=1807/71961 |hdl-access=free }}</ref>

The Allenby Formation is the southern-most of the [[Eocene Okanagan Highlands]] lakes in British Columbia, and second most southern site after the [[Klondike Mountain Formation]] of [[Republic, Washington]] and northern [[Ferry County, Washington|Ferry County]]. In British Columbia, the formation is coeval to the [[Tranquille Formation]], known from the [[McAbee Fossil Beds]] and [[Tranquille Formation|Falkland site]], the [[Coldwater Beds]], known from the [[Coldwater Beds|Quilchena site]], and [[Driftwood Canyon Provincial Park]].  The highlands, including the Allenby Formation, have been described as one of the "Great Canadian ''[[Lagerstätten]]''"<ref name="GCL2011"/> based on the diversity, quality and unique nature of the biotas that are preserved.  The highlands temperate biome preserved across a large transect of lakes recorded many of the earliest appearances of modern genera, while also documenting the last stands of ancient lines.<ref name="GCL2011">{{cite journal |last1=Archibald |first1=S. |last2=Greenwood |first2=D. |last3=Smith |first3=R. |last4=Mathewes |first4=R. |last5=Basinger |first5=J. |year=2011 |title=Great Canadian ''Lagerstätten'' 1. Early Eocene Lagerstätten of the Okanagan Highlands (British Columbia and Washington State) |journal=Geoscience Canada |volume=38 |issue=4 |pages=155–164}}</ref>

The warm temperate uplands floras of the Allenby Formation and the highlands, associated with downfaulted [[lacustrine basin]]s and active volcanism are noted to have no exact modern equivalents, due to the more seasonally equitable conditions of the Early Eocene.  However, the formation has been compared to the upland ecological islands in the [[Virunga Mountains]] within the [[Albertine Rift]] of the [[East African Rift|African rift valley]].<ref name="DeVore2020">{{Cite journal|last1=DeVore |first1=M.

The earliest work in the region was on exploratory expeditions in 1877 and 1878, with fossils collected in the areas of Nine-Mile Creek, Vermilian Bluffs on the [[Similkameen River]], and [[Whipsaw Creek]]. While reporting on additional plant fossils collected from British Columbia, Penhallow (1906) noted the likely coeval status of the Princeton basins with many of the sites now considered the Okanagan Highlands.<ref name="Penhallow1908">{{cite book |last1=Penhallow |first1=D.P. |year=1908 |chapter=A report on Tertiary plants of British Columbia, collected by Lawrence M.

==Age==
The age estimates for the Allenby Formation have varied a number of times since the first explorations happened in the 1870s.  Shaw (1952) dated the formation as [[Oligocene]], an age followed by Arnold (1955).<ref name="Shaw1952">{{cite journal |last1=Shaw |first1=W. S. |year=1952 |title=The Princeton Coalfield, British Columbia. |journal=Geological Survey of Canada}}</ref><ref name="Arnold1955Azolla">{{cite journal |last1=Arnold |first1=C. A. |year=1955 |title=A Tertiary ''Azolla'' from British Columbia |journal= Contributions from the Museum of Paleontology, University of Michigan |volume=12 |issue=4 |pages=37–45 |url= http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/48289/2/ID129.pdf}}</ref>  Half a decade later, the older age of {{mya|48|error=2|million years old}} was first suggested, with a younger age being suggested at {{mya|46.2|million years old|error=1.9}} in 2000 and an older date of {{mya|52.08|error=0.12}} obtained from [[uranium–lead dating]] of [[zircon]]s from Vermilion Bluffs shale in 2005.<ref name="Mustoe2010"/>

==Lithology==
The Allenby is composed of cyclical sedimentation events that were deposited along the course of a river-system in conjunction with depositional areas from nearby lakes and wetlands.  Coeval volcanic eruptive events are recorded as interbeds of [[tephra]]s and lavas, while the riverine course is marked with depositional areas of conglomerates and sandstones.  The quieter environments are noted for finer layers of shales and coalified layers.<ref name="Mustoe2010"/>

The coal seams throughout the formation are typically [[Sub-bituminous coal|sub-bituminous]].<ref name="Mustoe2010"/>

Notable in conjunction with the coal seams are sections of [[chert]] which formed during silica rich periods. The rapid cyclical changes from coal to chert and back are not noted in any other fossil locality in the world.  An estimated 49 coal-chert cycles are known, though the exact conditions for this process are not well understood.  Silica rich volcanic episodes in the region during deposition would have been needed for formation of the cherts, while slowly moving waters and gently subsiding terrains would be needed for the peats and [[fen]]s to accumulate.  Rates of organic deposition in swamps have been estimated at {{convert|0.5-1|mm|in|abbr=on}} in modern temperate climates, this suggests the time needed for each {{convert|10-20|cm|in|abbr=on}} chert layer would be at least 100 years or more, with the full sequence of cycles taking place over no more than 15,000 years.<ref name="Mustoe2010"/>

==Palynoflora==
[[Palynology|Palynological analysis]] of samples from the Thomas ranch site by Dillhoff ''et al.'' (2013) resulted in the identification of 32 pollen and spore types that were assignable to family or genus level, with a total number of distinct pollen and spore types, including unassignable morphotypes, number over 70.  The predominant pollens of the site are [[conifer]]s, which make up between 85%–97% of the total pollens, while the angiosperm pollens are dominated by members of [[Betulaceae]].<ref name="Thomasranch"/>

Several [[pteridophyte]] families and genera are represented as spore fossils alone, without corresponding megafossil records, including [[Lycopodiaceae]], [[Osmundaceae]], and [[Schizaeaceae]]. Similarly, at least three additional conifer genera are only present as pollen fossils and up to 12 angiosperms are present in the pollen record.  Sometimes considered a [[Biostratigraphy|Biostratgraphic]] [[Biostratigraphy#index fossils|index fossil]], the angiosperm palynospecies ''[[Pistillipollenites macgregorii]]'' has been recovered from several sites in the Allenby Formation, while the palynospecies ''[[Erdtmanipollis pachysandroides]]'' is rare, having only been reported from the formation twice.<ref name="Thomasranch"/>

Seventeen of the morphotypes are identifiable to genus or species, with members of the family [[Betulaceae]] being most prominent.  At least common one leaf type is suggested to possibly represent an extinct plant order, but has not been described.<ref name="Thomasranch"/>  Only two [[pteridophyte]] species have been described from the compression flora, ''[[Azolla primaeva]]'' by Penhallow (1890) and ''[[Equisetum similkamense]]'' by [[J.

Archibald, Mathewes, & Aase (2023) reported a ''[[Titanomyrma]]'' species ant queen from the Vermillion Bluffs site, and noted the range extension for [[Formiciinae]] into the highlands, as the subfamily was previously considered a strictly [[thermophilic]] ant group. Due to complications arising from preservational distortion during [[diagenesis]], they were unable to determine the correct size of the queen in life.  If the distortion was lateral, then compression to bilateral symmetry yielded an adult length of approximately {{cvt|3.3|cm|in}}, placing it the same range as ''[[Formicium berryi]]'' and ''[[Formicium brodiei|F. brodiei]]'', known only from wings, and sugg4ested as possible males. Conversely stretching the fossil to bilateral symmetry results in a larger {{cvt|5|cm|in}} length estimate, placing it as comparable to queens of ''[[Titanomyrma lubei|T. lubei]]'' and ''[[Titanomyrma simillima|T. simillima]]''.<ref name="Titanomyrma2023">{{cite journal |last1=Archibald |first1=S. |last2=Mathewes |first2=R. |last3=Aase |first3=A. |year=2023 |title=Eocene giant ants, Arctic intercontinental dispersal, and hyperthermals revisited: discovery of fossil ''Titanomyrma'' (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Formiciinae) in the cool uplands of British Columbia, Canada |journal=The Canadian Entomologist |volume=155 |issue=e6|doi=10.4039/tce.2022.49 |s2cid=256598590 |doi-access=free }}</ref>
