Описание: Abstract:

The stratigraphy of the western Florida Carbonate Platform above the mid-Cretaceous Sequence Boundary (MCSB) is defined using 9,600 km of multifold reflection seismic data tied to 29 wells. Concordant reflections at the MCSB deny subaerial exposure of the platform. A drowning unconformity related to an oceanic anoxic event is a more likely cause of the MCSB. Preexistent structures influenced the MCSB surface which in turn affected subsequent deposition.

Biostratigraphic data tied to magnetobiochronostratigraphic interpretations provide a time-stratigraphic framework of four main units: Upper Cretaceous, Paleocene-Eocene, Oligocene-lower Middle Miocene, and upper Middle Miocene-Holocene. The Upper Cretaceous has two subunits KU1 (Cenomanian-Santonian) and KU2 (Campanian-Maastrichtian). KU1 has continuous, parallel reflections and thickens in lows on the MCSB. In the Apalachicola Basin, KU2 has uniform thickness, discontinuous, subparallel, even-to-wavy reflections, and is intensely faulted. Sonic velocity of KU2 shows a southeastward change from siliciclastics to more carbonate rock. Hummocky-to-contorted seismic facies and thickening of KU2 on an MCSB high suggest a deep-water carbonate buildup.

The Paleocene is thin and Danian strata absent from the Destin Dome to Apalachee Bay. The Eocene margin marked by a north-south belt of west-prograding clinoforms at 85oW developed from a homoclinal ramp to a flat-topped shelf. Landward this margin, a seismic "marbled zone" suggests dolomitic facies. In the Apalachicola Basin, Ypresian-Lutetian (?) sequences form a wedge that thickens to the west. Basinward of the margin Lutetian-Priabonian sequences with lenticular shape and wavy, subparallel to hummocky seismic facies are stacked to form broad, en echelon mounds. Near the Florida Escarpment, and Eocene, elongate mound with disrupted seismic facies restricted progradation of post-Eocene clinoforms.

Post-Eocene strata are of continuous, parallel seismic facies and drape the Eocene surface, thickening in lows. In the Tampa Embayment, Oligocene-Lower Middle Miocene strata form sets of progradational clinoforms that steepen to the southwest as they impinge upon the Escarpment. Truncation of clinoforms has been reported beneath a mid-Miocene unconformity, but apparent truncation of clinoforms can also be observed at the tops of other, older sequences.

Описание: Sedimentology studies sand, mud (or silt) and clay, and the various ways they are deposited. Using these studies, sedimentologists apply their understanding of modern processes to ancient rock, to try to understand how it formed. Most of the rocks on earth are sedimentary rocks, and it is in these kinds of rocks you find fossils and many of the other historical markers. Sedimentary rocks are also where petroleum deposits are found. Sedimentology is tied to stratigraphy, which studies the relationships between rock layers and how they can shift and move. This also affects where petroleum deposits can be found, as well as how the extraction of petroleum affects the sediment around the deposit. Sedimentary rocks cover up to 75% of the Earth’s surface, record much of the Earth’s history, and harbor the fossil record. Sedimentology is closely linked to stratigraphy, the study of the physical and temporal relationships between rock layers or strata. The premise that the processes affecting the earth today are the same as in the past is the basis for determining how sedimentary features in the rock record were formed. The aim of sedimentology, studying sediments, is to derive information on the depositional conditions which acted to deposit the rock unit, and the relation of the individual rock units in a basin into a coherent understanding of the evolution of the sedimentary sequences and basins, and thus, the Earth’s geological history as a whole.The scientific basis of this is the principle of uniformitarianism, which states that the sediments within ancient sedimentary rocks were deposited in the same way as sediments which are being deposited at the Earth’s surface today. This Text introduces the reader to sedimentology and stratigraphic principles, and provides tools for the interpretation of sediments and sedimentary rocks.

Описание: This book, for undergraduate and graduate students and researchers, examines effects on geomorphology within the Anthropocene period. It describes how humans have a major influence on the Earth`s systems, and how this is being accelerated through changes in technology, population, and land cover changes. Future climate change is also discussed.
