RECOGNITION AND DOCUMENTATION OF DEPOSITIONAL SEQUENCES FROM OUTCROP - AN EXAMPLE FROM THE APTIAN AND ALBIAN ON THE EASTERN MARGIN OF THE WESSEX BASIN

Stratigraphic data relating to the Aptian and Albian sediments around Folkestone, southeast England, are plotted graphically to illustrate biostratigraphic gaps and condensed intervals. These are then used to suggest candidate sequence boundaries. Candidate sequence boundaries G2 (cristatum Subzone)...

description Stratigraphic data relating to the Aptian and Albian sediments around Folkestone, southeast England, are plotted graphically to illustrate biostratigraphic gaps and condensed intervals. These are then used to suggest candidate sequence boundaries. Candidate sequence boundaries G2 (cristatum Subzone) and G3 (auritus Subzone) are erosion surfaces correlating with probable biostratigraphic gaps elsewhere in the basin. Most of the candidate sequence boundaries could have been formed as a result of rapid, and at least regionally extensive, relative sea-level falls, although there is some evidence to suggest that these may have been generated by transgression-related sediment condensation. Additional sequence boundaries not shown in the cycle charts may also be present in the Wessex Basin. -from Authors
