'FURTHER INSIGHTS INTO EARLY SILURIAN LOCKPORT GROUP REGIONAL STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONSHIPS, SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO'

摘要

1. Pay attention to locations of forebulge zones away from of foreland basins because stacked grainstone to wackestone units will accumulate on the far-field flanks and have great potential to host groundwater and/or hydrocarbons. 2. Most 3D towers in presumed 'sedimentary basins' are likely not contiguous reefs or even reefal but represent episodically karsted terrains with often cryptic/paleo-karstic disconformities that require much more attention! 3. One of the biggest challenges in carbonate sequence stratigraphy is tracing/demarcating such disconformities in stacked grain-, pack-, wackestones. 3.1 A key question to ask is - when were intracratonic basins truly basins.
