Abstract The Mesozoic stratigraphy of the westernmost part of the Western Canada Basin is used to estimate sedimentation and relative crustal subsidence rates in the region between 49 o N and 60 o N, immediately to the east of the disturbed belt. Average rates of subsidence varied from zero to 120 m...
