The Classic Tidally Influenced, Marginal-Marine Deposits of the Late Cretaceous Bearpaw to Horseshoe Canyon Formation Transition, Drumheller, Alberta: Volume 1

CONTAINS OPEN ACCESS

The Upper Cretaceous Horseshoe Canyon Formation deposits near Drumheller, Alberta, Canada form world-class exposures of tidally-influenced, marginal marine to shoreline depositional environments. These outcrops have represented a fundamental training ground for generations of Canadian and international geoscientists. The compilation of work in this publication is the product of seven years of study by WAVE Consortium geoscientists. The WAVE Consortium was an industry-funded research collective run by the Australian School of Petroleum & Energy Resources, University of Adelaide between 2008 and 2014. The work integrates interpretations of outcrop observations with core descriptions and wireline log data to generate depositional models. These models were then convolved into 3D reservoir models from which synthetic seismic volumes were generated. This digital resource is provided in three parts: A) A Field and Core Guide: Volume 1, B) A Core and Outcrop Facies and Ichnology Guide: Volume 2, C) Posters - which can be downloaded from the SEPM Supplemental Materials Website.
