Provenance and Tectonic Setting of Late Archaean Greywackes from Dharwar Craton: Karnataka, India
Geochemical characteristics of greywacke and intercalated phyllites from Haveri and Dharwad block (long N 75° 10' to 75° 25' E and lat 15° 30' to 45° 00'S and (long 75° 05'E and lat S 15° 15' to 15° 35') of Shimoga basin have been studied to unravel the provenance and the tectonic setting of the greywackes. The greywackes are medium grained feldspatholithic and show presence of perthitic feldsp...
متن کاملTriassic Stratigraphy in the Zuni Mountains, West-central New Mexico
—The Triassic System in the Zuni Mountains consists of one Middle Triassic unit, the Moenkopi Formation, the Upper Triassic Chinle Group, and the Upper Triassic-Lower Jurassic(?) Wingate Sandstone. The Chinle Group in the Zuni Mountains consists of six formations, in ascending order: Zuni Mountains (named here; = “mottled strata” of previous workers), Shinarump, Bluewater Creek, Petrified Fores...
متن کاملStratigraphy of the Triassic Martin Bridge Formation, Wallowa terrane: Stratigraphy and depositional setting
The Upper Triassic (Carnian–Norian) Martin Bridge Formation of northeastern Oregon, southeastern Washington, and western Idaho is characterized by rapidly shifting depositional processes within a tropical volcanic island arc setting. Martin Bridge sequences in the Hells Canyon and northern Wallowa Mountains document shallow-water peritidal evaporitic sediments that are succeeded by deeper and p...
متن کاملProvenance and tectonic setting of Late Proterozoic Buem sandstones of southeastern Ghana: Evidence from geochemistry and detrital modes
The petrography, as well as major and trace element (including rare earth element) compositions of 10 sandstone samples from the Late Proterozoic Buem Structural Unit, southeast Ghana, have been investigated to determine their provenance and tectonic setting. The petrographic analysis has revealed that the sandstones are quartz-rich and were primarily derived from granitic and metamorphic basem...
متن کاملSecond Day: Early and Middle Triassic Stratigraphy, Paleontology and Correlation in Northeastern Arizona
Today’s trip traverses a nearly east-west swath of the southern Colorado Plateau in northeatern Arizona (Fig. 2.1), where the low and barren topography is developed in Permian and Triassic sedimentary rocks. Here, our focus is on the Lower-Middle Triassic Moenkopi Formation. In northern Arizona, east of Flagstaff, the Moenkopi section (Fig. 2.2) is a relatively thin (< 150 m thick) and almost e...
