Stratigraphy and depositional environments of the Late Jurassic Hanifa Formation along the Tuwaiq Escarpment, Saudi Arabia
(2017-06-26)
A sequence stratigraphic framework of the Late Jurassic (Oxfordian) Hanifa Formation at its exposure in Central Arabia is presented for the first time. This study offers the first high-resolution stratigraphic framework ...
Sand distribution along shelf-edge deltaic systems : a case study from eastern offshore Trinidad
(2010-12)
The study area is situated along the obliquely converging boundary of the Caribbean and South American plates offshore eastern offshore Trinidad. Major structural elements in the shelf break and deep-water slope regions ...
Core-seismic correlation and sequence stratigraphy at IODP Expedition 317 drillsites, Canterbury Basin, New Zealand
(2012-12)
High rates of Neogene sediment influx to the offshore Canterbury Basin resulted in preservation of a high-resolution record of seismically resolvable sequences (~0.1-0.54 my periods). Subsequent sequence development was ...
High-resolution correlation framework of the Grayburg Formation-Shattuck Escarpment and Plowman Ridge : testing models of shelf-to-basin frameworks
(2013-08)
The San Andres and Grayburg Formations are important stratigraphic units for constructing correlation frameworks of the Guadalupe Mountains because these strata record the transition between the ramp profiles of the San ...
Stratigraphic framework and incised-valley systems (lower Hope sandstone) of the Upper Pennsylvanian lower Cisco Group, southern Eastern Shelf of the Permian Basin, West Texas
(2018-08-17)
The lower Cisco Group records the latest Pennsylvanian episode of progradational siliciclastic and aggradational carbonate deposition on the Eastern Shelf of the Permian Basin. This detailed study documents the spatial ...
Lithofacies, depositional environments, and sequence stratigraphy of the Pennsylvanian (Morrowan-Atokan) Marble Falls Formation, Central Texas
(2013-08)
The Pennsylvanian Marble Falls Formation in the Llano Uplift region of the southern Fort Worth Basin (Central Texas) is a Morrowan-Atokan mixed carbonate-siliciclastic unit whose deposition was influenced by icehouse ...
Outcrop-derived facies model and cycle architecture of the Tansill G27-G28 high-frequency sequences, Rattlesnake Canyon, New Mexico
(2016-05)
High-relief, steep-rimmed carbonate margins are significant geologic features documented in a variety of locations throughout the geologic record. The Tansill Formation, the shallow-water platform equivalent of the ...
Geochemistry and high-resolution chemostratigraphy of the Haynesville Formation, East Texas
(2015-05)
The Upper Jurassic Haynesville Formation of East Texas and Louisiana is an organic-rich calcareous mudrock that is Kimmeridgian in age. It underlies the less calcareous Bossier Shale, and it overlies the Smackover Formation ...
Architecture of a mid-Cretaceous patch reef: High resolution mapping provides new insight into facies geometries and ecological relationships at Paul Spur, Bisbee, Arizona.
(2017-05-10)
Patch reef complexes are commonly found in the shelf interior of carbonate platforms. These small scattered buildups are potential hydrocarbon targets in the Maverick Basin and more broadly within Cretaceous reservoirs in ...
New evidence of regressing and transgressing Jurassic siliciclastic coastlines : Dhruma Formation, northern central Arabia
(2018-06-26)
The Middle Jurassic Dhruma carbonates are long known as a major hydrocarbon reservoir with massive proven reserves in Saudi Arabia and other Arabian-Gulf countries. Regional studies indicate that these hydrocarbon-rich ...
