Sedimentology and sequence stratigraphic framework of the Lower Cretaceous Bluesky Formation, Valhalla area, west-central Alberta.

The Lower Mannville (Aptian) Bluesky and underlying Gething formations of northwestern Alberta were deposited during the transgressive phase of a third order sequence. In west-central Alberta the Bluesky Formation forms a relatively thin succession of mostly shallow-marine strata that overlies a thi...
