These are the 1st 4 Figs plus captions in the chapter I wrote on Cordilleran Sedimentary Basins for Andrew Miall's 'The Sedimentary Basins of the United States and Canada', 2nd Edn. 2019. Elsevier

Cordilleran Sedimentary Basins of Western Canada Record 180 Million Years of Terrane Accretion
🧪⚒️
Fig 10.1 A. Map of the principal terranes discussed in this chapter, the accretion of which over the past 200 million years has given rise to the Canadian Cordillera (adapted from Jones et al. 1986; Monger, 1989). Terrane abbreviations are listed in Table 11.2. B. The five morphotectonic belts making up the Canadian Cordillera. The western limit is the modern plate boundary to North America; the eastern limit is the stable North American craton. The main characteristics of each belt are summarized in Table 11.1. SCCT refers to the Lithoprobe Southern Canadian Cordilleran Transect shown in Figure 11.1C. Fig 10.2 An outline of the sedimentary basins discussed in this chapter (the map underlay is from Figure 11.1A. Adapted from Eisbacher (1985); Monger (1989); McClelland et al. (1992). Terrane abbreviations are listed in Table 11.2. Fig 10.3 Chart showing the space-time relationships among major sedimentary basins of the Canadian Cordillera, the morphotectonic belts, associated terranes-superterranes and their accretion to North America (adapted from Monger, 1989; Yorath, 1991; and other references cited herein). Large arrows indicate the generalized polarity of sediment flux into the basins. Yellow arrows differentiate Foreland Basin (generalized) sediment flux. Fig 10.4 A summary of the main provenance characteristics for each sedimentary basin (see text of relevant basins for sources of information). Black arrows indicate the generalized polarity of sediment supply into the basins. Terrane abbreviations are from Table 11.2. Additional abbreviations are: CB = Coast belt; Casc. Arc = Cascade arc; Volc. = volcanic source; N. Calif. = northern California; OM = Omineca belt. Yellow arrows differentiate Foreland Basin (generalized) sediment flux.
