INTERNAL FACIES ARCHITECTURE OF A REGRESSIVE TO TRANSGRESSIVE WAVE-DOMINATED DELTA IN THE UPPER CRETACEOUS EAGLE FORMATION, SOUTH-CENTRAL MONTANA
… of a series of well preserved regressive and transgressive deposits. This study documents the depositional evolution of the informal lower member of the Eagle Formation exposed near Billings, MT. Detailed mapping and characterization of the internal stratigraphy, facies architecture, and …

Late Quaternary Evolution and Stratigraphic Framework Influence on Coastal Systems along the North-Central Gulf of Mexico, USA
… regionally map two sequence boundaries, multiple ravinement surfaces and fourteen depositional facies. One marine isotope stage (MIS) 6 valley’s fill provided up to 300 x10<sup>6</sup> m<sup>3 </sup>of sand to modern systems through transgressive ravinement during the Holocene. Repeated storm …

Holocene Formation and Evolution of Horn Island, Mississippi, USA
… landward side of the island, indicating seaward transgressive and tidal ravinement. Sand released due to ravinement processes thus contributed to the formation of Horn Island. Based on radiocarbon ages, an ancestral island existed 8,000 years BP that was ephemeral, frequently overwashed, and …

Late Quaternary variability in coastal changes along the Texas Gulf coast
… the upper and south Texas coast is dominated by transgressive barriers. These changes along the Texas coast became prominent in the mid-late Holocene when the rate of sea-level rise decreased. Man-made activities such as the construction of jetties and dams exacerbate the more recent changes. …
