Seismic expression of the Codroy Group in the St. George's Bay lowlands, Newfoundland and Labrador / P. Durling.: M183-2/8998E-PDF
"A composite stratigraphic section of the Codroy Group in the St. George's Bay lowlands was assembled from published stratigraphic sections and borehole data, in concert with published biostratigraphic data. The relative placement of stratigraphic sections in the composite section was guided by a form line contour map, which was constructed using bedding attitudes compiled from published geological maps. The composite section comprises a thick (~1000m), evaporite dominated, lower interval; a medial interval characterised by clastic, carbonate and evaporite rocks; and an upper clastic dominated interval. The lower evaporite interval correlates with Subzone A of the Windsor Group, the middle carbonate interval with Subzone B, and the upper interval with Windsor Subzones D and E. Average rock properties were assigned to the various strata in the composite section and a synthetic seismic trace was computed. The synthetic seismic trace provides insight into the nature and thickness of the Codroy Group imaged on seismic reflection data in the immediately adjacent offshore area beneath St. George's Bay"--Abstract, page ii.
