Paleosol evolution in a sequence stratigraphic framework, Cretaceous Ferron Notom Delta, south central Utah, U.S.A.
… (100ka) sequence in the Cretaceous Ferron Notom Delta indicate the prevalence of shrink-swell processes, suggesting fluctuating soil moisture conditions. Alternating soil moisture conditions suggest seasonality in rainfall, linked to a paleoclimate with more wet periods than dry. Vertical …

Heterogeneity, paleohydrology, and 3D facies architecture of ancient point bars, Ferron Sandstone, Notom Delta, South-central Utah
… belts from the Cretaceous Ferron Sandstone, Notom Delta in south-central Utah. Extensive plan view exposures with local vertical cliff exposures allowed documentation of channel belt dimension, migration pattern (translation versus expansion) and facies architectures. The cliff exposures …

Valley Widening and the Composite Nature of Valley Margin Sequence Boundaries: Evidence from the Neilson Wash Compound Valley Fill, Cretaceous Ferron Sandstone, Utah
… in the study area was deposited as part of the Notom Delta that prograded into the Henry Mountains Basin from the southwest. From measured sections and digital photographs a detailed bedding diagram of the fluvial and facies architecture of the fill was completed. The data shows that the outcrop …

Thin-bedded Facies Analysis of a Ferron Storm-dominated Delta Front and Prodelta: Cretaceous Ferron Sandstone, Utah
… examines thin-bedded facies within shelf and prodelta deposits of the Cretaceous Ferron Notom Delta in central Utah. Thin beds may be the result of storms (tempestites), ignitive turbidity currents, or hyperpycnal flows. This study quantitatively evaluates the proportion of each facies types …

High Resolution Facies & Architectural Analysis of a Tributive, Basal Terrace of a Ferron Compound Incised Valley
… Mancos Shale is composed of three fluvio-deltaic wedges deposited during the Turonian age along the western margin of the Cretaceous Seaway. The Notom Delta, southernmost of the three complexes, is spectacularly exposed in the washes, road cuts, and cliffs of the Factory Butte region of …
