Along-strike sequence stratigraphy across the Cretaceous shallow marine to coastal-plain transition, Wasatch Plateau, Utah, USA

摘要

Current sequence stratigraphic models deal with stratal packages almost exclusively along depositional-dip. A high-resolution outcrop example detailing sequence stratigraphic architecture along depositional-strike is largely lacking. This outcrop study provides a detailed sequence stratigraphic correlation along depositional-strike for a length of similar to 50 km. Moreover, this study focuses on the facies and statigraphic relationships particularly at the very transition between coeval marine and nonmarine strata, which is relatively underdocumented.
