2016 desert symposium e Bouse Formation provides a sedimentary record of the rst arrival of the Colorado River, water and sediment, as it was integrated from the Colorado Plateau to the Gulf of California 5–6 Ma. is unit is generally thin (10–100s m) but widespread within basins in the lower Colorado River corridor that extend from Lake Mead to Yuma (Fig. 1). e basins are interpreted to have be...

Based on numerous empirical observations of lacustrine basin strata, we propose a three-fold classification of lacustrine facies associations that accounts for the most important features of lacustrine petroleum source rocks and provides a predictive framework for exploration in nonmarine basins where lacustrine facies are incompletely delineated. (1) The fluvial-lacustrine facies association i...

Round Butte (Hopi Buttes volcanic field, Arizona) exposes a diatreme 170–190 m across, 190 below the pre-eruptive surface. The central part of massif is 130–150 in diameter, displaying 20–30 m-high subvertical cliffs. well-known layer-cake stratigraphy sedimentary rocks Colorado Plateau permits identification largest lithic fragments preserved diatreme. We define three main groups pyroclastic f...

the sarghaye-sarnish watershed, with elongated shape and about 70.654 km2 area, is located in south of mashhad. sarghaye and sarnish rivers are the main ones in this watershed. the purpose of this study is to investigate grain size varietions based in sedimentary links and its relation to textural parameters such as sorting, skewness and kurtosis, as well as identification of sedimentary lithof...

High-resolution 32-20 Ma-old stratigraphic records from the Molasse foreland basin situated north of the Alps, and Gonfolite Lombarda conglomerates deposited on the southern Alpine margin, document two consecutive sedimentary responses - an immediate and delayed response - to slab breakoff beneath the central Alps c. 32-30 Ma ago. The first signal, which occurred due to rebound and surface upli...

In the last few years, we have analyzed the best alternatives for acquiring and processing visual knowledge with the goal of supporting problem solving. We call visual knowledge the set of mental models that support the process of reasoning over information that comes from the spatial arrangement and visual aspects of entities. Also, visual knowledge is implicit, meaning that it is difficult to...

Madagascar is well known for producing exceptional fossils. However, the record for selachians remains relatively poorly known. Paleontological reconnaissance on the island of Nosy Makamby, off northwest Madagascar, has produced a previously undescribed assemblage of Miocene fossils. Based on isolated teeth, ten taxonomic groups are identified: Otodus, Carcharhinus, Galeocerdo, Rhizoprionodon, ...

The carbonate strata of the Burdigalian Guri Member are located in Dezful Embayment along northern Persian Gulf shore. Ichnofabric analysis and paleoecology described by investigating three outcrop sections. facies features show a very shallow marine environment with high oxidation content. contains remarkably well-preserved specimens Thalassinoides suevicus. It is mainly recorded as Y T forms ...
