During the 1950s, pioneering studies of sedimentation and paleogeography in epicontinental seas focused on the Bedford-Berea sequence. Although fundamental contributions, these studies were performed before the advent of plate tectonics and sequence stratigraphy. Indeed, intense controversy regarding the origin of the Bedford-Berea sequence has arisen in recent years. This publication attempts to resolve this controversy by reevaluating the Bedford-Berea sequence in light of the many profound geologic advances of the last 40 years. In so doing, this report demonstrates how sea-level variation, tectonism, paleotopography, and differential compaction functioned collectively to determine the complex depositional history and paleogeography of the Bedford-Berea sequence.
