Depositional Environments and Sequence Stratigraphy of Upper Mississippian Strata in the Central Appalachian Basin
The Upper Mississippian Hinton, Princeton, and Bluestone formations of southern West Virginia constitute a wedge of strata that filled the Appalachian basin over a ~7 million year time interval. Seventeen transgressive-regressive sequences comprise the study interval in the basin depocenter. Five …

Fayetteville and Imo Shales: Punctuated Upper Mississippian Shallowing Upward Sequence, Southern Ozark Region, Northern Arkansas
<p>The late Mississippian lithostratigraphic succession in the southern Ozark region, northern Arkansas, include, in ascending order, the Meramecan Moorefield Shale, Batesville Sandstone (with Hindsville Member); Chesterian Fayetteville Shale and Pitkin Limestone (with Imo Member). This interval is …

Carbonate Microfacies and Depositional Environments of the Kinkaid Formation (Upper Mississippian) of the Illinois Basin
The carbonate rocks of the Kinkaid Formation (Upper Mississippian) of the Illinois Basin were sampled at an average vertical interval of 17 centimeters from twelve stratigraphic sections in Southern Illinois and Western Kentucky, to determine their environments of deposition. Thin sections wer

Aspects of Cyclic Sedimentation in the Upper Mississippian, Mauch Chunk Group, southern West Virginia and southwest Virginia
Late Mississippian, Mauch Chunk Group strata constitute a westward-thinning clastic wedge of strata up to 1000m thick that developed in the Central Appalachian Basin over a ~ 7 million year time interval. Included within the Mauch Chunk Group are multiple incised-valley fills and a distinctive …

Depositional and Diagenetic Environments of Carbonate-Siliciclastic Rocks of the Glen Dean Formation (Upper Mississippian), Illinois Basin, u.s.a
About 1200 vertically oriented carbonate, sandstone and shale samples were collected from twenty three stratigraphic sections of the Glen Dean Formation in the Illinois Basin.

The Upper Mississippian Bluefield Formation in the Central Appalachian Basin: a Hierarchical Sequence Stratigraphic Record of a Greenhouse to Icehouse Transition
The Upper Mississippian (Chesterian) Bluefield Formation of southeastern West Virginia and southwestern Virginia is the basal unit of the Mauch Chunk Group, a succession of predominantly siliciclastic strata sourced from actively rising tectonic highlands east of the Appalachian Basin. The …

Meramecian conodonts and biostratigraphy of the (upper Mississippian) Greenbrier Limestone (Hurricane Ridge and Greendale Synclines), southwestern Virginia and southern West Virginia
… in the study area can be correlated with the Mississippian stratotype (Illinois Basin) based on the following zones: Taphrognathus varians - "Apatognathus," "A." scalenus - Cavusgnathus aad Gnathodus bilineatus - Cavusgnathus charactus. Southward thickening of the "A." scalenus zone from the …

Terrestrial paleoecology of distal deltaic environments of the upper Mississippian Bluefield, Hinton and Bluestone formations of southwestern Virginia and southern West Virginia
… that expose the Early Carboniferous (Late Mississippian) Bluefield, Hinton, and Bluestone Formations, were measured. Geological structures and paleontological occurrences were recorded. In situ rooted plants were compared with transported plant and animal assemblages from fluvially …

Magnetic Characteristics of Carboniferous Continental Depositional Systems: Implications for the Recognition of Depositional Hiatuses
… magnetic experiments conducted on upper Mississippian and lower Pennsylvanian continental successions reveal that distinct depositional, pedogenic, and diagenetic magnetic patterns can be separated and identified. Evidence for a primary depositional signal in several of the upper …

Sequence Stratigraphy and Paleoecology of the Late Mississippian Little Stone Gap Member in the Appalachians of West Virginia
The upper Mississippian (Chesterian) Little Stone Gap Member of the Hinton Formation in southern West Virginia was evaluated for its lithofacies and faunal composition. Petrographic and multivariate analyses were used to provide a better understanding of the ecological factors and sequence …

Spatial Characteristics of Paleochannels in Association with the Mississippian/Pennsylvanian Systematic Boundary in Western and South-Central Kentucky
… which unconformably overlie various Mississippian (Chesterian Series) rocks. Questions have been raised about the extent and orientation of paleochannels and the systemic boundary in the region. The problematical systemic boundary is quite significant in cases where marker beds are …

Stratigraphy and Tectonics: Multi-Disciplinary Evaluation of Tectonic Models For the Eastern and Southern Continental Margins of North America
… detrital-zircon ages collected from the Upper Ordovician through upper Mississippian sandstones records the sedimentary response to Taconic, Acadian and Alleghanian phases of orogenesis. This analysis suggests the Late Ordovician accretion of Dahlonega terrane, the Devonian accretion of …

State-Wide Sequence Framework of Mixed Carbonate-Siliciclastic Ramp Reservoirs: Mississippian Big Lime, West Virginia, USA
… high resolution sequence framework for Upper Mississippian (Chesterian), Big Lime carbonates, West Virginia, U.S.A.. The analysis was done using the washed coarse fraction (1-2 mm) of cuttings for each sample interval, which were separated into Dunham rock types, counted to determine …

Sedimentology of multistorey fluvial sandstones of the Mississippian Cypress Formation, Illinois Basin, USA
The Cypress Formation (Upper Mississippian) is the most oil-productive unit in the Illinois Basin, USA. In the central part of the basin, the Cypress Formation contains sandstones up to 60 m thick in a northeast-southwest trending belt known as the Western Belt. Thick Western Belt sandstones have …
