Regional Stratigraphic, Depositional, and Diagenetic Patterns of the Interior of St. Lawrence Platform The Lower Ordovician Romaine Formation, Western Anticosti Basin, Quebec

A comprehensive analysis of the Great American Carbonate Bank (GACB) reveals significant insights into its stratigraphic, depositional, and diagenetic patterns, particularly within the Lower Ordovician Romaine Formation in the western Anticosti Basin, Quebec. This study identifies distinctive lithofacies and fauna that provide a robust chronostratigraphic framework for correlating disparate outcrops and subsurface data, enhancing our understanding of the bank's depositional history and evolution. The research integrates biostratigraphy, ichnology, stratigraphy, and diagenesis to shed light on the GACB's economic potential, including its role as a source of hydrocarbons, minerals, and construction materials. Additionally, it explores the bank's potential as an aquifer or waste repository, contributing valuable data for both scientific and practical applications.
