Figure 3.1

Structural elements of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. Precambrian domains taken from both Ross et al. and Burwash et al. (Chapters 4 and 5, this volume). The western limit of the exposed North American sedimentary wedge is from Wheeler and McFreely (1987) and the Meadow Lake Escarpment is from Porter and Fuller (1959). The Peace River Arch and Embayment, the Alberta and Williston basins, the Tathlina High and Bow Island Arch are delineated by isopachs, and the Kevin-Sunburst Dome by a structural contour.
