The sequence stratigraphic evolution of the Sturgeon Lake bank, central Alberta, Canada and its regional implications.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 142-147). Sturgeon Lake South (SLS) is an isolated Devonian (Late Frasnian) platform located within the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB). Stratigraphic correlation of the Leduc Formation across the WCSB reveals a dominantly backstepping stratal geometry...

Bank formation and stratal geometries are controlled by eustatic sea level fluctuations in concert with: 1) a northeasterly paleowind direction that induced highly aggradational windward margins, 2) antecedent topographic highs (e.g., Peace River Arch) that induced progradational margins and, 3) sediments derived from the Antler Orogeny that increased marine turbidity and influenced the termination of platform growth.
