This book was released on 1985 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report is based on field work undertaken during the summer of 1974. Thirty-three rotary cores were examined and sampled in detail as a means of providing data on 1) the facies and facies relationships, and 2) the distribution, thickness, and continuity of coal seams in the Gething Formation within a very limited area of the western Foothills. Sedimentary structures and other sedimentological data were also recorded to aid in describing and interpreting the depositional environments and history of deposition in the area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fully revised and updated edition introduces the reader to sedimentology and stratigraphic principles, and provides tools for the interpretation of sediments and sedimentary rocks. The processes of formation, transport and deposition of sediment are considered and then applied to develop conceptual models for the full range of sedimentary environments, from deserts to deep seas and reefs to rivers. Different approaches to using stratigraphic principles to date and correlate strata are also considered, in order to provide a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of sedimentology and stratigraphy. The text and figures are designed to be accessible to anyone completely new to the subject, and all of the illustrative material is provided in an accompanying CD-ROM.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book incorporates developments in chronostratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy and sedimentation and tectonics that have taken place during the last decade. In particular, the wealth of case studies that have appeared since the late 1980s, focusing on sequence architecture and the relationships between sedimentation and tectonics, have required a virtually complete rewriting of Chapters 6 to 9. The global-eustasy model that was popular as a mechanism for sequence generation at the time of writing of the earlier editions of this book has been downplayed in this edition in the face of abundant new evidence pointing to the importance of tectonism as a process that may generate sequences over a wide range of temporal and physical scales. Amongst other additions, this edition contains new sections describing such topics as basin inversion and basement control of sedimentary basin development, and a range of new case studies of the plate tectonics of sedimentary basins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For several decades Peter Friend has been one of the leading figures in sedimentary geology and throughout that time he has helped scores of other people by supervising doctoral students, collaborating with colleagues, especially in developing countries, and selflessly sharing ideas with fellow geologists. This collection of papers is a survey of the research frontier in basin dynamics, a field Peter Friend helped initiate, and a token of thanks from people who have benefited from an association with Peter during their careers. The papers in this book fall into four themes - Tectonics and sedimentation, Landscape evolution and provenance, Depositional systems and Fluvial sedimentation - which reflect Peter's research interests and are all important areas of current research in sedimentary geology. There are both case studies and review articles on these themes which reflect recent work, but the collection can also be considered to be a 'sampler' of sedimentary geology for anyone with broad interests in the Earth sciences.

Download or read book Paleogeography and Sedimentary Development of Two Deep marine Foreland Basins written by Anne Bernhardt and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2011 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation comprises three chapters focusing on the evolution of marine sedimentary successions that formed as the fill of large submarine channel belts and their tributary systems. These channel belts serve as conduits for gravel- and sand-laden sediment gravity flows along the axes of narrow, elongate foreland basins. In the past, axial channel belts have not been widely recognized in submarine foreland basins (Mutti et al., 2003). However, recent studies have demonstrated the presence of axial channels, 3-8 km in width and > 100 km in length, in a number of marine foredeeps including the Cretaceous Magallanes Basin, southern Chile, and the Tertiary Molasse Basin, northern Austria (De Ruig and Hubbard, 2006; Hubbard et al., 2008, 2009). Additional studies have shown that similar channels are common in submarine trough-shaped basins in other convergent margin settings such as the Peru-Chile trench (Thornburg et al. 1990, Völker et al., 2006), the Hikurangi trough, offshore New Zealand (Lewis and Pantin, 2002), and the Nankai trough, offshore Japan (Fig. 1 in Moore et al., 2007), as well as in modern oceanic rift basins, such as the Maury channel in the Northeast Atlantic Rockall Basin (Cherkis et al., 1973) and the Northwest Atlantic Mid-Ocean Channel (NAMOC) in the Labrador Sea (Hesse et al., 1987, 1990; Hesse, 1989, Klaucke et al., 1998). These occurrences suggest that axial channels may be common sediment transport fairways in elongate deep-water basins in a variety of tectonic settings. This thesis investigates the sedimentary evolution, stratigraphic architecture, and paleogeography of such channel systems in two distinct, yet analogous and complementary research areas: the Magallanes foreland basin in southern Chile, and the Molasse foreland basin in northern Austria. The main objectives of this study are: a)to characterize the processes of submarine sediment transport and deposition in the study areas, b)to explain the associated filling patterns of ancient submarine axial channels and their tributaries, and c)to reconstruct the paleogeography of an ancient seafloor in order to better understand deep-marine sediment dispersal patterns in narrow elongate basins. The Magallanes Basin is a retro-arc foreland basin characterized by a deep-marine filling history from the Cenomanian/ Turonian (Fildani et al., 2003; Fosdick et al., in press) to the Campanian (Chapter 3). The numerous coarse-grained submarine channel and lobe complexes of the Turonian to Campanian Cerro Toro Formation represent a large north-south oriented channel belt that funneled sediment gravity flows along the axis of the foreland basin parallel to the active thrust front (Hubbard et al., 2008). This main axial trunk channel belt was probably fed by at least one, and possibly numerous, tributary channel systems coming off the Andean mountain front to the west. Similarly, sedimentation within the Upper Austrian Molasse Basin during the late Oligocene to early Miocene was largely controlled by an axial trunk channel that was fed by a deltaic system to the west and a tributary system lying along the Inntal fault zone to the southwest (De Ruig and Hubbard, 2006). Three studies were undertaken in order to illuminate the processes and architecture of the fill of submarine foreland basin axial channels: the interaction of submarine debris flows and turbidity currents within the axial channel in the Molasse Basin (Chapter 1), the stratigraphic and architectural evolution of coarse-grained deep-water deposits in a tributary system setting in the Magallanes Basin (Chapter 2), and the paleogeography of the Magallanes Basin axial channel belt and its tributary system and the associated basin-filling pattern over time (Chapter 3). Multiple techniques were combined to achieve these goals, including field mapping, sedimentological analysis of outcrops and rock cores, interpretation of wireline logs and 3D seismic-reflection data, U/Pb dating of zircons, strontium isotope stratigraphy, and a novel approach to lithofacies proportion modeling (Stright et al., 2009).

This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lower Cretaceous (Aptian to Albian) CLearwater Formation at Cold Lake, Alberta contains a complex assemblage of silicicastic strata. On the basis of detailed core analyses, Clearwater Formation strata have been subdivided into eight lithofacies and six recurring, facies associations. These facies associations are: (1) Tidal bar, (2) Sand flat, (3) Tidal-fluvial channel, (4) Fluvial channel, (5) Shoreface to foreshore, and (6) Offshore.
