Continental margin deposition between the Sturtian- and Marinoan-aged global glacial periods is represented in NW Canada by a siliciclastic-to-carbonate grand cycle. The Keele Formation, a 300–600 m thick carbonate and siliciclastic deposit, comprises the upper part of this interglacial cycle. Sedim...
