Figure F4. Schematic stratigraphy of the Canterbury Basin at three different scales. [Modified from Fulthorpe et al., 1996.] A. Large-scale postrift stratigraphy (see profile location in Fig. F2). Onekakara, Kekenodon, and Otakou groups were deposited during regional transgressive, highstand, and regressive phases, respectively. B. Seismic-scale stratigraphy. The sediment drifts occur within the Otakou Group. The limestones are shown as distal facies of the uppermost transgressive Onekakara Group and lowermost regressive Otakou Group. C. Outcrop-scale stratigraphy across the Marshall Paraconformity.
