DescriptionBasin analysis and stratigraphy in outcrop with major sequence boundary and fossil submarine canyon.png	English: Example of sedimentary basin analysis using traditional surface geologic mapping in combination with aerial photography. In this case identifying significant sequence boundary resulting from the——erosion and filling of a submarine canyon thousands of feet deep.
