Cross-Basin Variations in Magnetic Susceptibility Influenced by Changing Sea Level, Paleogeography, and Paleoclimate: Upper Devonian, Western Canada Sedimentary Basin

Upper Devonian rocks in western Canada were deposited as carbonate-platform and surrounding slope and basinal rocks during a second-order sea-level cycle, characterized by long-term climatic warming, that ended with cooling associated with the Frasnian–Famennian mass-extinction event. In this contribution, we assess the hypothesis that high-resolution magnetic susceptibility (MS) data records cross-basin variations that are intimately tied to...
