These uplift events must have had a profound regional, if not global, effect on our ability to correlate specific unconformities and tectono-eustatic events through the rock record. The researchers found that the rock record everywhere is punctuated by unconformities and related sediment packages, which were presumably created at the same time all over the world by "eustatic' or global changes in sea level. The summer 2006 airborne and ground geophysical program (CDN$1,200,000) is also proceeding to delineate conductors and unconformities on the balance of the Company's Athabasca projects. |
