Definition of unconformable in English:

unconformable

adjectiveʌnkənˈfɔːməb(ə)lˌənkənˈfɔrməbəl

Geology

(of rock strata in contact) marking a discontinuity in the geological record, and typically not having the same direction of stratification.
Example sentencesExamples
- This angular relationship has been interpreted as evidence for an unconformable contact.
- Along much of its exposed length, the unconformable contact was intensely sheared during subsequent ductile deformation.
- At this locality, the upper layers of the Mishan Formation are truncated below the unconformable contact at the base of the overlying Agha Jari Formation.
- However, of greatest interest is the unconformable contact between the Wiens Formation and Neptune Group.
- In this transect, the contact between the Carboniferous strata and the volcanic sequence appears to be an unconformable sedimentary contact.

Geology

These mid-Palaeozoic formations are unconformably overlain by the Carboniferous-Permian Pillahuinco Group.
Example sentencesExamples
- These are unconformably overlain by Lower Carboniferous limestones of the Alapaevsk unit and cut by a Permian granite.
- The most significant of the south-vergent thrusts is the Besal Thrust, which places basement rocks, unconformably overlain by rocks of the First Cover Sequence, on top of rocks of the Second Cover Sequence.
- The Moine rocks are overlain unconformably by post-Caledonian, Old Red Sandstone sedimentary rocks.
- Other sedimentary successions include Lower Jurassic terrestrial mudstone/sandstone sequences of the Botany Bay Group, which unconformably overlies the Trinity Peninsula Group.
