Abstract The Lower Cretaceous McMurray Formation of the Western Canada Sedimentary
Basin has been the subject of numerous studies, with emphasis on its stratigraphic …

ABSTRACT The Lower Cretaceous McMurray Formation located in northeastern Alberta,
Canada, is host to one of the largest bitumen resources in the world. In this paper, we …

The interaction of river and marine processes in the fluvial to marine transition zone
fundamentally impacts delta plain morphology and sedimentary dynamics. This study aims …

Abstract The McMurray Formation in McMurray Depocentre, Canada, is typically subdivided
into stratigraphic units based on regionally mappable marine mudstones, the bases of which …

Many fluvial point-bar accretion packages show lithological variability, from sand-to mud-
dominated. However, the controls on this variability are often poorly constrained. High …

Abstract In the Lower Cretaceous McMurray-Clearwater succession of the intracontinental
Alberta Foreland Basin, Canada, detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology samples (referred to …

In fluvio‐tidal settings, the sediment is dominantly derived from the river systems. However,
the importance of landward tidal transport of sediment in tidally influenced sedimentary …

Stratigraphic positions and the nature of some breccias and mudstones observed in the
Lower Cretaceous McMurray Formation type section (Alberta, Canada) challenge the …

In this paper we examine quantitative ichnological data of silty-mudstone beds from inclined
heterolithic stratification (IHS) in order to understand the spatial and temporal controls …

Collection of dune foreset thicknesses from outcrop can provide valuable sedimentological
information. One means of inferring a tidal origin of a sedimentary deposit is to use …
