Developing Recognition Criteria for Current-Wave-Enhanced Sediment Gravity Flows
<p>Sedimentary fabrics preserved in the rock record provide some of the best evidence for interpreting paleo-depositional conditions. Muddy sediments in particular are important paleoenvironmental archives, preserving the most complete stratigraphic record of any rock type in basinal settings. …

Stratigraphy, sedimentology, and paleotectonic setting of the Gazelle Formation, eastern Klamath Mountains, northern California
… flysch, in decreasing order of abundance. Sediment gravity flows were the dominant sedimentary process during deposition of the Gazelle Formation. Petrographic analysis of sandstones from the Gazelle reveal that these strata were derived from both magmatic arc and subduction complex …

Chemostratigraphy of Carbonate Gravity Flows of the Wolfcamp Formation in Crockett County, Midland Basin, Texas
<p>Sediment gravity flows into deep-water environments are important stratigraphic traps in lithologically diverse reservoirs generating multiple plays for hydrocarbon exploration. These highly heterogeneous deposits can be studied by utilizing chemostratigraphy and higher-order sequence …

The sedimentology of the Bloomington fan complex: an element of the Oak Ridges Moraine, Southern Ontario
… Oak Ridges Moraine. This study investigates the sedimentology of the Bloomington fan complex, one of the oldest elements of the Oak Ridges Moraine. The main sediment body of the Bloomington fan complex was deposited during early stages of the formation of the Oak Ridges Moraine, when the ice …

Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of the Coalmont Formation, Northwestern, North Park, Colorado, U.S.A.
… consists of a variety of fluvial and lacustrine sedimentary facies that have not been documented in depth. Using geologic mapping, measured stratigraphic sections, outcrop scale sedimentology, paleocurrent analysis, sedimentary petrography and fluvial-lacustrine architectural element analysis, …

Sediment Heterogeneity and Sand Production in Gas Hydrate Extraction: Daini-Atsumi Knoll, Nankai Trough, Japan
… Ogasa group. This group is made up of deep water sediments including sediment gravity flow deposits distinguished by alternating silt and sand layers. The presence of these alternating layers could have influenced the sand production seen during the trial. This reservoir heterogeneity at the 2013 …

Multi-scale deep-marine stratigraphic expressions in the Cretaceous Magallanes Basin, Chile: Implications for depositional architecture and basin evolution
… one of the most significant features of sediment transfer on Earth and one of the final segments in source-to-sink routing systems. As such, they serve as conduits as well as intermediate or final storage for large volumes of sediment, paleoenvironmental signals, and pollutants on their …

Stratigraphic evolution and architectural analysis of structurally confined submarine fans: a tripartite outcrop-based study
… records of relative sea-level fluctuations, sediment transfer from non-marine environments to the deep sea, and tectonic episodes. Outcrop studies of these depositional systems yield sub-seismic levels of sedimentologic and stratigraphic detail. This dissertation comprises outcrop-based …

Depositional system and source rock potential of the Sharon Springs Formation in Colorado
… and preservation of organic carbon was pelagic sedimentation in an anoxic, stratified and stagnant water column. Observations made in core and outcrop suggest that the Sharon Springs and Gammon Ferruginous formations were deposited by offshore sediment gravity flows. Storms likely assisted in …

Late Weichselian and Holocene Glacimarine Sedimentation and Environments in Kejser Franz Josephs Fjord and On The Adjacent Continental Margin, East Greenland
The study outlines the glacimarine sedimentation patters and processes and environments in the Kejser Franz Josephs Fjord and on the adjacent continental margin of East Greenland during the Late Weichselian and Holocene. A variety of techniques are adpoted in this study in order to address the …
