This paper presents a sedimentological and stratigraphical study of Quaternary (Middle to Late Pleistocene/Holocene) continental carbonates outcrops inside Pantanal Basin and its surroundings, especially in Serra da Bodoquena, Pantanal do Miranda and Corumbá/Ladário plateau, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, as well as in Serra das Araras, in the state of Mato Grosso. The aim is to understand...

[1] Stratigraphy preserved in alluvial basins holds important information for reconstructing past environmental conditions via inversion methodologies. In this paper we explore, through the use of physical and numerical experiments, the forward problem, that is, we quantify how the probabilistic structure of the processes that govern the evolution of depositional systems relates to the probabil...

The Middle Mississippian Delle phosphatic event marks a significant change in depositional conditions in the Devonian–Mississippian Antler foreland basin of North America. Stratigraphic and petrographic studies show that deposition of Delle-event rocks ended a long period of open-marine carbonate sedimentation when facies shifted to phosphorites, cherts, fine-grained siliciclastics, and lime mu...

The Upper Pleistocene submarine fan deposits in the Northern Gulf of Mexico have proven to be valuable targets for hydrocarbon exploration and extraction. The Garden Banks Area, 170 miles Southwest of Lafayette, Louisiana, is situated on the western flank of a submarine fan complex in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. The Garden Banks Area has producing wells in the Upper Pleistocene deep marine san...

This study focuses on the sequence stratigraphy and dominated seismic facies in Central Taranaki basin. Four regional sequences namely SEQ4 to SEQ1 from bottom top four boundaries representing unconformities H4 H1 have been traced based reflection terminations. was validated using well logs information. An onlapping feature section indicates a new perspective surface separated between upper low...

Objective: The Asmari Formation is characterised by alternation thick carbonate and marl sequence of the Oligocene- Miocene in the Zagros Basin, southwest of Iran that were deposited on the shelf of Eastern Paratethys. Methods: This formation is exposed at Tang-e-Khoshk in the Fars subcoastal zone with a thickness of 286 m comprising alternation of medium and thick to massive bedded carbonates,...
