disconformity is an unconformity between parallel layers of
Kaynak: UnconformityThis
disconformity is widely assumed to be equivalent to the Hardegsen
disconformity of the central European/Southern North Sea Basin,
Kaynak: Geology of Alderley Edgedinosaur fossils in the Americas, and is separated by a
disconformity from the underlying Upper Triassic Chugwater Formation red beds .
Kaynak: Sundance FormationThe contact between the Hatakai Shale and overlying Shinumo Quartzite is a distinct, significant
disconformity . This
disconformity is
Kaynak: Hakatai ShaleWithin the Unkar Group, the contact between the Hakatai Shale and overlying Shinumo Sandstone is a distinct
disconformity. This contact is
Kaynak: Unkar GroupOverall, the strata within it are conformable with the exception of a significant
disconformity between the Hatakai Shale and Shinumo
Kaynak: Shinumo QuartziteThis is expressed by a
disconformity that removed successively deeper reservoir beds to the north and west. Major downwarping to the south
Kaynak: Sarir fieldA type of unconformity called a
disconformity was formed.
Disconformities show erosional features such as valleys, hills and cliffs that

Kaynak: Maastrichtianlate Cenozoic uplift of the Rocky Mountains , it is separated from the lower Trujillo Formation by a
disconformity , and a very long hiatus.
Kaynak: Palo Duro Canyonchange in bedding orientation across the boundary, which is nowhere well-exposed, suggesting that it may represent some sort of
disconformity.
Kaynak: TorridonianThe contact between the Cardenas Basalt and the overlying Nankoweap Formation is an erosion surface that is a
disconformity or even a
