The Gog Group is a stratigraphic unit in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. It is present in the eastern and western main ranges of the Canadian Rockies in Alberta and British Columbia.[2][3] It was named by C.F. Deiss in 1940 after Gog Lake near its type locality at Wonder Pass near Mount Assiniboine.[1][4]
