A New Unusual Ice-induced Sedimentary Structure: the Silt Mushroom
Upon channel bars or point bars within the lows of the Yellow River, a new sedimentary structure, named 'silt mushroom', has been observed. The process of their formation is interpreted to be via the ice process. The name, the silt mushroom comes from their figurative form. This is because they look somewhat similar to mushroom's in size and shape; being in the range of 1 to 10 cm in diameter, ...
متن کاملStatistical Analysis of Sedimentology and Sedimentary Geochemistry Data of Aeolian Sediments in Khuzestan Province
The Khuzestan plain is located in south western of Iran and is covered about 3.9 percent of the country area. Khuzestan plain is mostly covered by the Quaternary deposits. The thickness of these deposits exceeds 300m in some areas .Sedimentology and geochemistry of sand dunes producing centers are not only important for determining sedimentary and geochemical features of the particles possible ...
متن کاملTectonosedimentary evolution of the basins in Central Alborz, Iran
Evidence of at least ten different tectonic- controlled sedimentary basins can be recognized in the central part of the Alborz Mountains in the Middle part of the Alpine-Himalayan belt. They formed from Neoprotrozoic to recent time as the results of the relative plate motion in southwest of Asia in Tethyan realm. The basins include: (1) Prototethys Late Neo-Proterozoic to Early Ordovician epi-c...
متن کاملA Unique Occurrence of a Psammosteid Heterostracan on the Peri-gondwanan Shelf in the Lower/middle Devonian Boundary Marine Deposits
A rare psammosteid heterostracan (Agnatha) occurrence in the Devonian of the Prague Basin is indicative of a dry land influence in the regional palaeogeography. This argument is strongly supported by the appearance of vascular plants, but the studied vertebrates allow us to presume a local brackish water environment. These conditions are considered to be related to a supposed land in the vicini...
متن کاملSedimentary Facies, Architectural Elements and Trace Fossils of Kashkan Formation, Folded Zagros Zone in SW Iran
The Kashkan Formation (Paleocene to Middle Eocene), consists of conglomerate, sandstone, and siltstone in the Zagros Folded zone, southwest Iran. Type of the sedimentary facies, architectural elements and trace fossils show that Kashkan deposits were formed in a low sinuosity braided stream system, with north to south flow direction. The formation displays coarsening-upward succession reflects ...
