Shelf sand and sandstone bodies : geometry, facies, and sequence stratigraphy

Abstract

Part 1 Concepts of continental margin sedimentation: General depositional model Application of regime concept Analytical approach to stratification Lithofacies and depositional systems Paraseqences Depositional regimes and depositional sequences Part II Regressive shelf and coastal sandstones: Doce river strandplain Storm sediment sheet, Texas shelf Sand bodies on the Silurian shelf Silurian shelf sandstones Part III Transgressive coastal shelf sandstones: Preservation of estuary deposits Sand ridges, New Jersey shelf Part IV Sandstones deposited at sequence boundaries: Sand ridges in the Cardium formation Sand bodies in the Cardium formation Sand bodies in the Ferron formation.
