A standard lithofacies scheme for the Missisauga and Logan Canyon formations of the Scotian Basin and its application to long sections of conventional core / K.M Gould ... [et al.].: M183-2/6745E-PDF
This report proposes a hierarchical scheme of sedimentary facies applicable to the Lower Cretaceous rocks of the Missisauga and Logan Canyon formations in the Scotian Basin. This succession hosts the major gas discoveries in the basin. The eleven facies, each of which is divided into several subfacies, are: 0 – delta front sandstone-mudstone turbidites; 1 – open shelf fossiliferous shales; 2 – shoreface sandstones and mudstones; 3 – intervals of condensed sedimentation (principally during transgressions); 4 - tidal estuary to fluvial sandstones; 5 -intertidal to subtidal sandy to mixed flats; 6 - intertidal muddy to mixed flats; 7- tidal marsh lignite or carbon-rich mud; 8 - lagoonal muds; 9 - river mouth to prodelta sandstone turbidites; 10 – highly deformed sediments. ...
