Figure 8. Seismic reflection line showing a progradational Jurassic shelf–slope wedge in the Hanna trough downlapping the flattened intra-Jurassic unconformity. This unit is interpreted as the first phase of sediment delivery from the emerging highland (early Brooks Range) along the paleo-Pacific margin in the northeast. Note also downlapping reflectors between the base Cretaceous unconformity and the top Lower Cretaceous shelf–slope wedge. This unit marks a period of increased sediment supply following closure of the South Anyui ocean and was probably sourced from Chukotka. See Figures 1 and 6 for line location.
