Pliocene-Pleistocene depositional sequences of the northern Gulf of Mexico, offshore Texas and Louisiana
(1994)
This work tests the consistency of sequence stratigraphic methods by comparing the model documented in this study with previous models for growth faulted, siliciclastic environments. Interpretations derive from sequence ...
Detailed facies analysis of the Brazos wave-dominated delta, Freeport, Texas
(1995)
In order to better define the facies architecture and controlling processes of a wave-dominated delta, a detailed sedimentary and geomorphologic study was undertaken on the New Brazos River delta. The study indicates a ...
Seismic sequence stratigraphy of the Paleozoic of Central Arabia, Hawtah area (Saudi Arabia)
(1995)
Nine second-order sequences in Central Arabia are in part correlatable with worldwide seismic sequences. Differential uplift and subsidence occurred throughout the Paleozoic and was interrupted by a late Ordovician-early ...
Tertiary geology of the Quebrada Huaricangana area, East Pisco Basin, southern Peru: Late Paleogene to Neogene transgressive sedimentation within a forearc basin
(1990)
Clastic packages studied in the southern East Pisco Basin represent the transgressive Late Eocene to earliest Oligocene Paracas Group, with questionable presence of the latest Oligocene to Early Miocene Chilcatay formation. ...
Seismic facies analysis and depositional history of an incised valley system, Galveston Bay area, Texas
(1991)
The history of the incised river valley underlying Galveston Bay was determined by examining the distribution of depositional units and the relationships between them. Initial incision of the valley occurred after the ...
Tectonostratigraphic evolution of Neuquen Basin, Argentina
(1992)
The area is located in west central Argentina, east of the Andes. It was a Mesozoic backarc basin which evolved into a foredeep basin during the upper Cretaceous, when a fold and thrust belt was formed to the west.
The ...
Structural evolution of the offshore forearc basins of Peru, including the Salaverry, Trujillo, Lima, West Pisco and East Pisco basins
(1994)
The basins of the study area were filled with the following sequences: E$\sb0$ (lower? to middle Eocene); E1 E2 and E3 (fill middle Eocene half grabens); E-O (uppermost middle Eocene-Oligocene); M1, M2 and M3 (lower-upper ...
Structural evolution of the Neogene Adana and Iskenderun basins, South Turkey
(1994)
The structural styles of the Neogene basins in Southern Turkey formed in two stages. (1) Early to Middle Miocene transtension in a NNW-SSE direction disrupting the Paleozoic--Mesozoic substratum in the Adana Basin and the ...
Foredeep and thrust belt interpretation of the Maturin Sub-Basin, Eastern Venezuela Basin
(1998)
The nature of the basement underneath the Monagas foothills and the Serrania del Interior of the Eastern Venezuela Basin is unknown. It could consist of crystalline Precambrian, Paleozoic sedimentary rocks and/or Jurassic ...
Stratigraphy and tectonic setting of the Lower Cretaceous King Lear Formation, Jackson Mountains, northwest Nevada
(1999)
The lower Cretaceous King Lear Formation (KLF) is a gently east-dipping succession of alluvial conglomerates and sandstones that were deposited in a small intra-arc basin. Supracrustal strata of Cretaceous age from within ...
