The Yukon-Koyukuk Basin is a large sedimentary basin in Alaska, filled with Mesozoic and Cenozoic sediments. This basin is significant in geology and petroleum exploration for its potential hydrocarbon resources, its role in understanding the tectonic history of Alaska, and the processes of basin formation and sedimentation.
