Lateral and vertical facies sequences in the Upper Cretaceous Chungo Member, Wapiabi Formation, southern Alberta
Abstract
The Chungo Member of the Wapiabi Formation (Campanian) shales out northward and (or) eastward from Lundbreck to the Bow Valley, southern Alberta. At Lundbreck, basinal mudstones are overlain by turbidite and hummocky cross-stratified sandstones in an overall coarsening-upward sequence. The marine part of the sequence is capped by dominantly swaley cross-stratified sandstones, interpreted as storm-dominated shoreface deposits. Nonmarine fluvial …
