Sequence stratigraphy is the study of genetically related facies within a framework of chronostratigraphically significant surfaces, where the depositional sequence is considered to be the fundamental unit for sequence-stratigraphic analysis (Van Wagoner et al., 1990). The depositional sequence is defined as a genetically related succession of strata bounded by unconformable surfaces and their ...

Gravel-free, high-resolution (1-metre spacing, 32 channel) particle size data from the CRP-2/2A drill core indicate that many of the diamictites were likely deposited from floating ice. Textural dislocations occur at most sequence boundaries and provide independent corroboration of the sequence stratigraphic interpretation. Likewise the data largely support the correlation drawn (Fielding et al...


 It is known that over 90% of oil, gas and condensate in Azerbaijan produced from Productive Series (PS) the Early Pliocene. In this respect, detailed study Pro- ductive deposits their evolution conditions has a special value. Currently most sedimentary basins world latest highly informative methods stratigraphic analysis are applied one these sequence-stratigraphy, which used study. The ...

My long-term goal within the STRATAFORM program is to increase our understanding of the processes controlling the formation, reworking and preservation of event-scale stratigraphy on the continental shelf. My goal in the last phase of STRATAFORM is to extend our capability for modeling shelf sediment transport to time scales appropriate for models of the geologic evolution of continental margin...

The Figuera Lava, the oldest stratigraphic unit now recognized in northeastern Puerto Rico, and the overlying Fajardo Formation are redescribed and the name Figuera redefined and reinstated for formal use. Previously, lower Tertiary strata some distance from the type areas of the Figuera and Fajardo were correlated with the units by reconnaissance. Recent detailed mapping and paleontology now p...
