Steep crystalline-basement faults, commonly indicated by
potential-field anomalies, played a crucial role in evolution of
continental cratonic platforms. In the Phanerozoic Western Canada
Sedimentary Province, history of crustal block movements and warps
is reconstructed from the distribution of depocenters, lithofacies
and structures in structural-formational etages in sedimentary
cover. Each etage is a rock succession formed during a particular
tectonic stage; regional tectonic restructuring closes each stage,
and the next stage represents a new tectonic regime. Practical
tectonic analysis, based on observation of rocks and geophysical
data, is a reliable guide for deciphering a region's geologic
history and for resource exploration."
This book describes four different methods of paleotemperature
assessment on selected Paleozoic rock units and determines spatial
variations in maximum burial depths of these units and thicknesses
of lost overburden. Stratigraphic and tectonic history of the
northern Appalachian basin is described in details followed by a
critical review of fluid inclusion, clay diagenesis, organic
maturation, and stable isotope techniques of paleotemperature
measurements in sedimentary rocks.
