Stratigraphic Unconformities

Stratigraphic Unconformity is a surface bounding two strata or rock units that represents a gap in the geological record due to a period of erosion or non-deposition, distinguishing it from other stratigraphic contacts by indicating a significant hiatus in sedimentation.
