Une succession d’affinages ascendants de 100 m d’épaisseur sur plus de 20 km de large au sommet du Crétacé inférieur du Membre supérieur de la Formation de Missisauga, a été examinée dans le champ de Panuke, au large de côtes de la Nouvelle Écosse, en utilisant des données de carottes, de diagraphies et de sismiques en 3-D. La succession se compose de 50 m de dunes de grès à stratification entrecroisée recouvertes par 50 m de strates hétérolithiques à influence de marée, qui à leur tour sont recouvertes par 150 m de mudstone du Membre de Naskapi de la Formation Logan Canyon. La succession est interprétée comme étant une transition fluviale–marine qui s’est formée durant une élévation relative du niveau de la mer à long terme (3e ordre). Les deux réservoirs principaux de Panuke sont composés de grès en nappes minces (<5 m) au contact de Missisauga–Naskapi. Ces grès sont interprétés comme étant des restes d’un système de barrières formées par des vagues. D’après les données sismiques, le Membre supérieur de la Formation de Missisauga est en corrélation vers le bassin avec les réflexions de bordures de bassins progradantes, ce qui suggère que les nappes fluviales de grès, à la base de la succession d’affinages ascendants, ont transféré les sédiments, et probablement le sable, sur la pente continentale.
