The Great American Carbonate Bank: The Geology and Economic Resources of the Cambrian-Ordovician Sauk Megasequance of Laurentia

The Great American Carbonate Bank comprises the carbonates (and related siliciclastics) of the Sauk megasequence, which were deposited on and around the Laurentian continent during the Cambrian through the earliest Middle Ordovician, forming one of the largest carbonate-dominated platforms of the Phanerozoic. The Sauk megasequence, which ranges upwards of several thousand meters thick along the Bank's margins, consists of distinctive lithofacies and fauna that are widely recognized throughout Laurentia. This memoir comprises works on biostratigraphy, ichnology, stratigraphy, depositional faces, diagenesis, and petroleum and mineral resources of the GACB.
