Abstract

Outcrop study of the Straight Cliffs Formation in the Kaiparowits Plateau allows examination of facies tract development within a sequence-stratigraphic framework. This approach provides a new perspective to regional chronostratigraphic and lithostratigraphic relationships of Turonian through Campanian strata. These strata are arranged in geometric patterns that can be related to lowstand, transgressive, and highstand system tracts.
