Multi-Disciplinary Analyses of Outcropping Late Cretaceous Clinoform Stratigraphy, Magallanes Basin, Chile
… move from continents to deep-marine basins. Clinoforms, shelf-edge deltas, submarine canyons, and deep-water channels are central components of these systems, yet their stratigraphic architecture, sediment-routing behaviour, fluid trapping potential, and influence on organic matter …

Modeling the sorting of sediments on delta tops
… agreed well with the overall form of plane-bed clinoform deposits but not with rippled-bed clinoform deposits, thus a new model for predicting transitions in rippled-bed deposits is needed.

Reconstructing long term sediment flux from the Brooks Range, Alaska, using edge clinoforms
Laterally extensive, well-developed clinoforms have been mapped in Early Cretaceous deposits located in the northeastern 27,000 km2 of the Colville Basin, North Slope of Alaska. Using public domain 2-D seismic data, well logs, core photographs, and grain size data, depositional geometries within …

Stratigraphic architecture of a shallow-water delta deposited in a coastal-plain setting: Neslen Formation, Floy Canyon, Utah
… only at the distal part of the system, the clinoform angles are shallow (1 to 3 degrees), the foresets were deposited primarily by tractional processes, and the mouth bars stack more compensationally. Conversely, the comparatively deeper-water delta has bottomset aggradation throughout the …

Sedimentology and Architecture of a Partially Contained Deposit, Cerro Solitario, Magallanes Basin, Chilean Patagonia
… and linked depocenters along the Chingue Clinoform represent the dying breaths of the Cerro Toro axial conglomerate channel system as the canyon-fed point source collapsed and choked off the sediment routing system out to the distal basin.

Electrofacies, elemental composition, and source rock characteristics along seismic reflectors of the Vaca Muerta Formation in the Loma La Lata area, Neuquen Basin, Argentina
… data was interpreted to highlight three major clinoform surfaces, one progradational and two aggradational. Electrofacies were related to both the results from cuttings and seismic reflector patterns. A relationship exists between the well-log values, source rock characteristics, mineralogy, …

Effects of Sedimentologic and Stratigraphic Heterogeneity on Production in Carbonate Reservoirs: An Integrated Outcrop, Synthetic Geologic Modeling, and Flow Simulation Study
… surfaces or flooding units), the presence of clinoformal geometries does not markedly influence static or dynamic production metrics. In contrast, the presence of flow barriers along clinoform surfaces can result in marked (in excess of 30%) changes in production, accompanied by minimal change …

Sedimentation on a mixed siliciclastic/carbonate continental margin over decadal to millennial timescales: Gulf of Papua

CONTRASTING PROCESSES OF DEPOSITION IN THE LATE CRETACEOUS PANTHER TONGUE SANDSTONE OF CENTRAL UTAH: THE ROLE OF AUTOGENIC VERSUS ALLOGENIC PROCESSES, AND THE IMPORTANCE OF HYPERPYCNAL FLOW
This study reexamines the Panther Tongue Sandstone Member of the Late Cretaceous Star Point Formation in central Utah to characterize its diverse deltaic depositional styles, and to explain what process or processes drove their development. Based on seventeen measured sections, supplemented by …
