High-resolution Sequence Stratigraphy and Implications For Cretaceous Glacioeustasy of the Late Cretaceous Gallup System, New Mexico, U.S.A.

Deciphering the relationships between traditional lithostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy is the key to correctly understanding time-stratigraphic relationships and basin evolution. Both insufficient sample spacing, which induces “aliasing,” and lack of datums are problematic issues for sequence stratigraphic correlation. High-resolution sequence stratigraphic analysis of the Cretaceous Gallup Formation, deposited during the late Turonian …
