Seismites within Ordovician–Silurian carbonates and clastics of Southern Ontario, Canada and implications for intraplate seismicity

A regional survey of Lower Paleozoic sedimentary strata (Ordovician–Silurian) exposed across some 7000km2 of Southern Ontario, Canada has identified the sedimentary record of paleo-seismicity at a time of known faulting and rapid subsidence of Appalachian foreland basins. Shallow marine shoreface sa...

Description
Summary:A regional survey of Lower Paleozoic sedimentary strata (Ordovician–Silurian) exposed across some 7000km2 of Southern Ontario, Canada has identified the sedimentary record of paleo-seismicity at a time of known faulting and rapid subsidence of Appalachian foreland basins. Shallow marine shoreface sandstones and shales of the Lower Silurian Thorold Formation show laterally extensive beds of large (
