Field investigation, Microfacies analysis, and biostratigraphy have been carried out in the central parts of Ionian Basin (Aetoloakarnania area, Western Greece) order to decipher depositional environments that developed during accumulation Upper Cretaceous Eocene carbonate succession. Three different Standard types (SMF) observed, corresponding two (Facies Zones or FZ) a platform progradation. ...

Abstract Upper Devonian carbonates deposited through the Frasnian/Famennian (F/F) stage boundary in Xom Nha Formation, Central Vietnam, were studied. The section is mainly composed of fossiliferous, brecciated, and laminated limestone beds, while shale beds occur a subordinate number. Microfacies generally suggests hemipelagic setting on an outer shelf environment with low sedimentation rates. ...

The Cretaceous deposits in Morakan, located in the northeast of Khoy, a town in western Azerbaijan province, Iran, are primarily made up of carbonate rocks. These deposits, which are of 717 meters thick, lie on the clastic facies of Jurassic and are covered with beneath the pelagic beds of the Upper Cretaceous. To investigate the facies, sedimentary environment and sequential stratigraphy of th...

At Cedro Peak in the Manzanita Mountains of Bernalillo County, New Mexico, a nearly complete, structurally uncomplicated, fossiliferous and characteristic local Pennsylvanian section is exposed. Approximately 340 m thick, we assign this section to the (in ascending order) Sandia, Gray Mesa (= Los Moyos), Atrasado (= Wild Cow), and Bursum Formations. We divide the Gray Mesa Formation into the (i...
