This paper presents some of the results of regional and local geological investigations covering some stratigraphic environments which may be of importance in controlling the occurrence of oil and gas in the northern Great Plains, and in particular along the eastern side of the Williston basin. The...

Rock types beneath the basal Cretaceous strata of the Williston basin in Saskatchewan are angularly truncated with varying resistance to erosion and weathering, resulting in paleogeomorphic features which had a marked effect on Cretaceous sedimentation. Jurassic erosion probably modified the existing ...
The interpretation of buried landscapes presents many problems which are still unresolved among geo-morphologists, and also draws attention to a number of less well known geomorphological phenomena which are important from the paleogeomorphological point of view. There is scope for an exchange of ...
There seems to be a relationship between basement lithology and Precambrian paleotopography. Some of the recognized faults in overlying sediments may originate in the basememtK. MeekWilliston Basin Symposium
