| Abstract | The Devonian successions in northeastern Manitoba and northern Ontario are integrated in a single stratigraphic framework. To the north, in the offshore Hudson Bay Basin, stratigraphic nomenclaturesare
unified and correlated with the successions to the south. The carbon stable-isotope (d13CVPDB) trends for Devonian carbonate rocks are used for regional correlations and are compared with global Devonian isotope trends. Local and global d13CVPDB
trends are used to evaluate the position of the Silurian-Devonian boundary in the Hudson Bay Platform. The Devonian succession of the Hudson Bay Platform belongs to the Kaskaskia Sequence and compares with similar carbonate-evaporite successions of
the adjacent Williston and Michigan basins. In these basins, two episodes of roughly coeval reef development are present (Emsian-Eifelian and Givetian), with corals and stromatoporoids as main framework constituents. The Hudson Bay Platform reefs and
dolomitized facies exhibit significant porosity and have the potential to form hydrocarbon reservoirs, with intervals bearing direct and petrophysical evidence of hydrocarbon charge. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
One of the major research goal of the Hudson Bay Basin project was to propose a unified modern understanding of the stratigraphic succession over this
large geological domain. The Lower to Upper Devonian successions in northeastern Manitoba and northern Ontario, and the succession offshore Hudson Bay are integrated in a single stratigraphic framework. The stable carbon isotope trends for Lower and
Middle Devonian carbonates in the Moose River Basin and Hudson Bay Lowland are used for regional correlations and are compared with global Devonian carbon stable isotope excursions. The Devonian succession of the Hudson Platform belongs to the North
American Kaskaskia Sequence and is compared with the stratigraphy from the adjacent Williston and Michigan basins. The Hudson Platform Devonian reefs and dolomitized facies have significant porosity and could form sizeable hydrocarbon reservoirs.
Some intervals have significant direct and petrophysical evidence of hydrocarbon charge. |
