Cratonic sequence
text:
A cratonic sequence in geology is a very large-scale lithostratigraphic sequence in the rock record that represents a complete cycle of marine transgression and regression on a craton over geologic time. They are geologic evidence of relative sea level rising and then falling, thereby depositing varying layers of sediment onto the craton, now expressed as sedimentary rock. Places such as the Grand Canyon are a good visual example of this process, demonstrating the changes between layers deposite
