| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
Biostratigraphy plays a fundamental role in understanding the geological history of Canada's sedimentary basins, and hence also of their contained
petroleum systems. In recent years dinoflagellate cysts (dinocysts) have been increasingly used; the group is of proven usefulness for age control through recognizing events (species originations and extinctions) in marine Mesozoic and Cenozoic
rocks. A clear and consistent understanding in recognizing individual species is critical for meaningful application. The need for a pictorial atlas to help stabilize species concepts induced us to produce the first PalyAtlas in 2005, which covered
Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic dinocysts from the Scotian Margin. Since that time, the geographical scope of our work has taken us to other regions, especially in northern Canada. So the time has come to expand and update the dinocyst
PalyAtlas. |
