Figure 1.1

Geological map of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin showing the regionally and stratigraphically generalized distribution of Phanerozoic rocks in the Interior Plains (commonly mantled by Quaternary cover) and the schematic distribution of major Proterozoic and Phanerozoic tectonic wedges in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

Figure 1.2

Schematic representation of Atlas stratigraphic divisions in the Proterozoic to Triassic cratonic platform and continental terrace succession. Each colour denotes a separate chapter.

Figure 1.3

Schematic representation of Atlas stratigraphic divisions in the Jurassic to Paleocene foreland basin succession. The Jurassic, Mannville, Colorado/Alberta, and uppermost Cretaceous-Tertiary slices are each afforded separate-chapter treatment, with additional chapters devoted to the principal sandstone units in the Colorado Group - Viking, Dunvegan and Cardium.
