Abstract:
High-resolution chronostratigraphic correlations are integral to meaningful stratigraphic frameworks in depositional systems, but may be difficult to achieve due to biostratigraphic limitations and geological complexity. In steep-sided carbonate platform systems, such correlations are essential for platform-toslope models, characterization of strike variability, and predictive sequence stratigraphy. The Canning Basin Chronostratigraphy Project (CBCP) integrates multiple independent signals extracted from exposed Devonian reef complexes along the northern margin of the Canning Basin to arrive at a well-constrained chronostratigraphic framework and predictive lithofacies model.
