Establishing a chronostratigraphic framework for the Devonian Basin Reef Complex

Summary

The integration of the Lennard Shelf sequence stratigraphy, isotope chemostratigraphy, organic geochemistry, and magnetostratigraphy datasets provides an unprecedented wealth of data for regional and global correlations of this carbonate-dominated margin.

These associations predict a link between carbonate slope architecture and basinal settings that will aid petroleum exploration of similar carbonate-hosted petroleum deposits.
