The long-term preserved geologic record of a sedimentary basin is a large scale contiguous three-dimensional package of sedimentary rocks created during a particular period of geologic time, a 'stratigraphic succession', that geologists continue to refer to as a sedimentary basin even if it is no longer a bathymetric or topographic depression.

This is the category for geologic basins and geographical basins, including geologic oceanic basins, sedimentary basins, geologic depression basins, drainage basins (aka watersheds), and groundwater basins. Some of these are usually thought of in their two-dimensional representation as on a map, however they are all three-dimensional bodies.
The Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) [1] [2] underlies 1.4 million square kilometres (540,000 sq mi) of Western Canada including southwestern Manitoba, southern Saskatchewan, Alberta, northeastern British Columbia and the southwest corner of the Northwest Territories.
Sedimentary basin analysis is largely conducted by two types of geologists who have slightly different goals and approaches. The petroleum geologist , whose ultimate goal is to determine the possible presence and extent of hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon-bearing rocks in a basin, and the academic geologist, who may be concerned with any or all ...
These basins, termed the Illinois Basin and Michigan Basin, allowed for extensive deposition of sedimentary rock during the Palaeozoic Era. [2] The Illinois Basin is a northwest–southeast asymmetrical structural basin that is filled with more than 4000 meters of Paleozoic sedimentary rocks .
