Abstract
The overall major transgression recorded in the lowermost part of the Palaeoproterozoic cratonic margin succession was related to first- to second-order sea-level changes, probably due to increasing regional thermal subsidence of the lithosphere following partial continental breakup. The stratigraphic evolution can be related to changes of relative sea-level with a frequency of ca. 25 million years, probably propagated by episodic thermal subsidence. The parasequences identified here are related to high-frequency cycles of relative sea-level change due to low-magnitude eustatic oscillations.
