Unconformities – are surfaces that act as important stratigraphical and geological boundaries, and are widely applied during geological mapping, Seismic and Sequence stratigraphic analysis in defining the limits of depositional sequences. They represent the geological time of non-deposition and/or erosion, and have wide geographical distributions. The other major value of unconformities is their possible role in hydrocarbon entrapment, migration and reservoir property controls. They are easily t
