Stratigraphic arcitecture & depositional evolution of the upper triassic Charlie Lake formation

干旱区滨海和边缘海相混合硅-塑-碳酸盐沉积体系具有高度的复杂性和内部非均质性。除了反映与海岸线迁移、构造沉降和海平面上升或下降相关的环境变化的复杂的岩性相互作用外，这些序列还受到瞬变现象的强烈影响，如短暂河流的排放（以及伴随的短暂三角洲序列的建设）或不同大小的风成沙丘通过以沙坝和滨平行泻湖为主的沿海平原的迁移。

Arid mixed siliciclastic-carbonate coastal and marginal marine depositional systems are characterized by a high degree of complexity and internal heterogeneity. As well as complex interfingering of lithologies reflecting environmental shifts related to shoreline migration, tectonic subsidence and eustatic sea-level rise or fall these successions are strongly influenced by transient phenomena such as discharge of ephemeral rivers (and concomitant construction of short-lived deltaic successions) or the migration of aeolian dunes of various sizes through a coastal plain dominated by sabkhas and shore-parallel lagoons.
