Book Late Proterozoic and Cambrian Tectonics Sedimentation and Record of Metazoan Radiation in the Western United States

Download or read book Late Proterozoic and Cambrian Tectonics Sedimentation and Record of Metazoan Radiation in the Western United States written by Nickolas Christie-Blick and published by American Geophysical Union. This book was released on 1989 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Field Trip Guidebooks Series, Volume 331. The articles and guide which follows them have been prepared for an eight-day field excursion organized in conjunction with the 28th International Geological Congress in Washington, D.C., in July, 1989. The purpose of the excursion is to review the results of recent research concerning the tectonic, stratigraphic and sedimentological development of the western United States in Late Proterozoic and Cambrian time, and the paleoenvironmental context of the latest Proterozoic and Early Cambrian metazoan radiation event. The location and tectonic setting of stops are shown in the Frontispiece. Our studies build on those of many other geologists, whose contributions are acknowledged in the list of references. In particular, we draw attention to the fundamental contributions over many years of C.A. Nelson, J.H. Stewart and L.A. Wright, and the late M.D. Crittenden, Jr. and S.S. Oriel. Without the basic observations and insights of these individuals, it is unlikely that the present level of understanding would have been achieved. At the same time, we recognize that interpretations and ideas summarized here are subject to revision as research continues.

Book Sequence Biostratigraphy of Carboniferous Permian Boundary Strata in Western Utah

Download or read book Sequence Biostratigraphy of Carboniferous Permian Boundary Strata in Western Utah written by Joshua Kerst Meibos and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stratal architecture of the upper Ely Limestone and Mormon Gap Formation (Pennsylvanian-early Permian) in western Utah reflects the interaction of icehouse sea-level change and tectonic activity in the distal Antler-Sonoma foreland basin. Eighteen physically and biostratigraphically corelated stratigraphic sections provide a database for tracing Permo-Carboniferous boundary strata over a north-south distance of 60 km. These formations comprise 14 unconformity-bounded depositional sequence: three in the upper Ely (UE1-UE3) and 11 in the Mormon Gap Formation (MG1-MG11). Conodont and fusulinid faunas provide precise biostratigraphic information for a number of parasequences in the upper Ely and Mormon Gap formations. This paleontological information clarifies the tectonostratigraphic evolution of the distal foreland basin (study area) and permits correlation with events in the proximal foreland (Nevada) and with depositional sequences in the North American midcontinent. The stratigraphic succession is divided into three depositional intervals (I-III) with distinctive differences in constituent facies and facies stacking patterns, the regional continuity of cycles, the relative abundance of dolomite and limestone, calculated sediment accumulation rates, and the frequency and inferred duration of sequence-bounding hiatuses. These reflect the interaction of high-frequency sea-level change on an intermittently subsiding distal foreland basin. Subsidence is generally continuous during the Bashkirian through middle Moscovian (Interval I) and again during the Artinskian (Interval II). During the late Moscovian through Sakmarian stages (Interval III), subsidence rates dropped and sedimentation occurred mainly in consequence of second-order sea-level rise associated with the highstand of the Lower Absaroka II seas. Strata in the distal foreland are bounded by low-relief disconformities of variable duration in stark contrast to the angular unconformities and intensely deformed tectonostratigraphic domains that characterize the proximal foreland basin in north-central Nevada.
