Book excerpt: The Triassic Dockum Group is a complex assemblage of lacustrine, deltaic, and fluvial facies. Excellent exposures of these rocks were studied in and around Palo Duro State Park where the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River and its tributaries have carved a network of steep-walled canyons. Three-dimensional exposures of the Dockum have permitted study of lateral as well as vertical facies relationships. Three progradational genetic sequences were delineated within the study area. A genetic sequence consists in ascending order of: lacustrine mudstone, deltaic siltstone-sandstone-conglomerate, and fluvial sandstone-conglomerate. The following three lines of evidence indicate that complex base-level changes, caused by fluctuations in lake area and depth, occurred during deposition of the Dockum Group. Within the first genetic sequence burrowed lacustrine mudstones are interbedded with caliche horizons. These caliche horizons contain discrete burrowed and pisolitic carbonate nodules that are composed of microspar calcite, sparry calcite, and minor dolomite. Silicified evaporite nodules occur at the base of this unit. The second genetic sequence comprises a progradational lacustrine delta system which was truncated by a valley-fill system which formed in response to diminished lake depth and area. The valley-fill system comprises a transgressive fluvial-deltaic-lacustrine sequence encased within an overall progradational sequence. The third genetic sequence is composed of classic "Gilbert-type" lacustrine deltas with prominent foreset beds indicating deposition in 8 to 15 m of water. Ephemeral lakes characterized the first and second progradational sequences. Lacustrine fan deltas formed in water 1 to 10 m deep. The third progradational sequence was deposited in more continuously deep-water (10-20 m) lakes. A vertical sequence through Dockum Group rocks reveals a change from alternating humid and arid conditions of the first and second progradational sequences toward continuously humid conditions which prevailed during deposition of the third progradational sequence.

This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 24 (thesis year 1979) a total of 10,033 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 215 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 24 reports these submitted in 1979, on occasion, certain universities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
