通过对北大西洋盆地的美国边缘和爱尔兰边缘的露头,钻孔和地震反射地层学的综合研究发现,其新生代巨型沉积序列和跨区域不整合的格架与Vail沉积模式相类似,其伴生的微体化石组合的古水深和古海洋学分析表明,沉积格架和海平面相对位置之间存在着成因联系. Based on a comprehensive study of the outcrops, boreholes and seismic reflection stratigraphy in the North Atlantic basin and the marginal Irish region, it is found that the Cenozoic giant sedimentary sequence and the transregional unconformity framework are similar to the Vail sedimentary model with associated Palaeohydrologic and paleoceanographic analyzes of microfossil assemblages indicate that there is a causal relationship between the relative positions of sedimentary framework and sea level.
