DescriptionBasin analysis and stratigraphy in outcrop with major sequence boundary and fossil submarine canyon.png
English: Example of sedimentary basin analysis using traditional surface geologic mapping in combination with aerial photography. In this case identifying a significant sequence boundary resulting from the erosion and filling of a submarine canyon thousands of feet deep. This example is from the Upper Cretaceous Great Valley Group and is located near the town of Willows, California
