Summary

Description
English: Example of sedimentary basin analysis using traditional surface geologic mapping in combination with aerial photography. In this case identifying a significant sequence boundary resulting from the erosion and filling of a submarine canyon thousands of feet deep. This example is from the Upper Cretaceous Great Valley Group and is located near the town of Willows, California Source: Williams, T.A., 1997, Basin-fill architecture and forearc tectonics, Cretaceous Great Valley Group, Sacramento basin, northern California [Ph.D. thesis]: Stanford,California, Stanford University, 412 p.
