MISSISSIPPIAN MUD MOUNDS OF DERBYSHIRE (ENGLAND, UK): FACIES ARCHITECTURE AND BIOTIC EVOLUTION
… Comparative investigation of mud mound lithofacies architecture, texture, and composition and brachiopod fauna in various depositional set-tings on the platform (north-eastern outer platform, intraplatform ramp, southern outer plat-form) allows investigating the factors influencing the growth …

Sedimentology, facies architecture, and diagenesis of the Middle Three Forks Formation - North Dakota, U.S.A.
… and sedimentological characteristics, ten facies are recognized in the succession that are grouped into three facies associations (FAs). Laminated siliciclastic mudstones with silty dolostone intercalations (FA1) record deposition in the most distal, overall low-energy mid-ramp environment, …

Heterogeneity, paleohydrology, and 3D facies architecture of ancient point bars, Ferron Sandstone, Notom Delta, South-central Utah
… pattern (translation versus expansion) and facies architectures. The cliff exposures allow documentation of channel fill thickness and bedding structure that were used in paleogeographic and paleohydraulic reconstructions. Paleocurrent measurements are consistent within one depositional unit …

Vertical and Lateral Facies Architecture of Levees and Their Genetically-Related Channels, Isaac Formation, Neoproterozoic Windermere Supergroup, Cariboo Mountains, B.C.
At the Castle Creek study area, levee deposits are well-exposed over an area of ~2.6 km wide and ~90 m thick. This provides an opportunity to describe their lateral and vertical lithological changes, and accordingly details about their reservoir geometry and stratal continuity. Here, levee deposits …

INTERNAL FACIES ARCHITECTURE OF A REGRESSIVE TO TRANSGRESSIVE WAVE-DOMINATED DELTA IN THE UPPER CRETACEOUS EAGLE FORMATION, SOUTH-CENTRAL MONTANA
… characterization of the internal stratigraphy, facies architecture, and bounding surfaces of the lower Eagle provide the basis for reconstruction of a paleodelta system that serves as a valuable reservoir analog within the Cretaceous Seaway and elsewhere. This study demonstrates that the …

Fluvial facies architecture and provenance history of the Abrahamskraal-Teekloof formation transition (lower Beaufort group) in the main Karoo Basin
… The objective of this mainly qualitative facies analysis study is the evaluation of the vertical and lateral abundances of the facies associations in order to decouple the preserved tectonic and climatic signals in the formations. The results on the stratigraphic trends should aid …

Facies architecture and mechanical stratigraphy of Mississippian grainy and muddy carbonate sediment gravity-flow deposits: Rancheria Formation, Sacramento Mountains, New Mexico
… understudied in terms of depositional processes, facies architecture, fracture distribution, and the resultant mechanical stratigraphy. Outcrops of the Rancheria Formation in the Sacramento Mountains, New Mexico represent a Mississippian carbonate slope system that is spectacularly exposed for …

Process Sedimentology and Three-Dimensional Facies Architecture of a Fluvially Dominated, Tidally Influenced Point Bar: Middle McMurray Formation, Lower Steepbank River Area, Northeastern Alberta, Canada
… River Outcrops 3 and 4), nine recognized facies can be divided into three genetically related groups: sand-dominated facies, inclined heterolithic stratification (IHS) facies and mixed heterolithic facies. Together, these facies are interpreted to represent a fluvially dominated, tidally …

High Resolution Facies & Architectural Analysis of a Tributive, Basal Terrace of a Ferron Compound Incised Valley
… of East Neilson Wash. This study documents the facies, architecture, paleohydraulic scale, and stratigraphic morphology of Valley 3, the oldest valley member, in detail. Correlation of the shallowing and intermittently exposed basal surface of Valley 3 indicates the field area occupies a …

Volcanological studies of Neogene flood basalt groups in eastern Iceland
… aerial photogrammetry were applied to assess the facies architecture of the groups, map their extent and distribution, measure the thickness of the lava flows and log the internal structure of representative flows. The source origin of each group was identified and the mode of emplacement of the …

From basin to reservoir models: an integrated workflow
… improve the capability to predict the 3D facies distribution and architecture and the lithological fraction of the hydrocarbon-bearing rocks, i.e., sand fraction in a shaley/clayey environment. These features are well known to be crucial during the appraisal phase of the reservoir when …

Characterising subaerial basaltic ‘a‘ā lava flows as potential geothermal reservoirs: Nordeste volcanic complex, Volcanic, São Miguel, Azores
… Few detailed studies have been published on the facies and facies architecture of Nordeste, with this study aiming to providing an analysis of the exposed ‘a‘ā lavas, specifically the cavities within. With a wide range of sizes and origins, the vesicles, segregation vesicles, clinker cavities, …

Valley Widening and the Composite Nature of Valley Margin Sequence Boundaries: Evidence from the Neilson Wash Compound Valley Fill, Cretaceous Ferron Sandstone, Utah
… a detailed bedding diagram of the fluvial and facies architecture of the fill was completed. The data shows that the outcrop is one of a compound valley system made up of multiple cut and fill episodes. These terraces were formed by a series of relative sea-level fluctuations over a period of ~ …

The Lower Pennsylvanian New River Formation: a Nonmarine Record of Glacioeustasy in a Foreland Basin
… consist predominantly of nonmarine, coal-bearing facies that developed within a fluvio-estuarine, trunk-tributary drainage system in a foreland-basin setting. Sheet-like, sandstone-mudstone bodies (up to 100 km wide and 70 m thick) developed in an axial trunk drainage system, whereas channel-like, …
