sequence of deposition
1Sequence stratigraphy — is a relatively new branch of geology that attempts to link relative sea level changes to sedimentary deposits. The essence of the method is mapping of strata based on identification of surfaces which represent time lines (e.g. subaerial… …

3Tippecanoe sequence — The Tippecanoe sequence was the cratonic sequence that is, the marine transgression that followed the Sauk sequence; it extended from roughly the middle Ordovician to the early Devonian.edimentary characteristicsAfter the regression of the Sauk… …
4Zuñi sequence — The Zuñi sequence was the major cratonic sequence after the Absaroka sequence that began in the latest Jurassic, peaked in the late Cretaceous, and ended by the start of the following Paleocene. [Stanley, Steven M. Earth System History. p. 175]… …
5Bouma sequence — The Bouma Sequence (after Arnold H. Bouma, 1962) describes a classic set of sedimentary beds (turbidites) deposited by a sediment water turbidity current. The Bouma Sequence specifically describes the medium grained variety, which are usually… …
6Sauk sequence — The Sauk sequence was the earliest of the six cratonic sequences that have occurred during the Phanerozoic (followed by the Tippecanoe, Kaskaskia, Absaroka, Zuñi, and Tejas). It dates from the late Proterozoic through the early Ordovician, though …
7Absaroka sequence — The Absaroka sequence was a cratonic sequence that extended from the end of the Mississippian through the Permian periods. It is the unconformity between this sequence and the preceding Kaskaskia that divides the Carboniferous into the… …
8Tejas sequence — The Tejas sequence was the last major marine transgression across the North American craton. Following the late Cretaceous regression that ended the Zuñi sequence, the oceans advanced again early in the Cenozoic, peaking during the Paleocene and… …
9Kaskaskia sequence — The Kaskaskia sequence was a cratonic sequence that began in the mid Devonian, peaked early in the Mississippian, and ended by mid Mississippian time. A major unconformity separates it from the lower Tippecanoe sequence.The basal that is, the… …
10rock sequence — noun A suite of rocks containing a variety of separate strata, with an overall lithology that can be used to interpret the paleoenvironment of deposition over a certain period …
