Strike-Slip Basin – Its Configuration and Sedimentary Facies

Seismic Geomorphology of Oligocene Frio Lowstand Slope and Basin-Floor Sedimentary Bodies in Growth-Faulted Subbasins in South Texas

Architecture of slopeand basin-floor-fan systems in growth-faulted subbasins along the south Texas Gulf Coast developed as a result of interplay between synsedimentary tectonics and sedimentation during third-order sea-level lowstands. These subbasins, or intraslope basins, have not been adequately explored for their slope and basin-floor-fan potential, as have the intraslope basins in salt-dom...

Character, Distribution and Timing of Latest Quaternary Mass-Transport Deposits in Texas–Louisiana Intraslope Basins Based on High-Resolution (3.5 kHz) Seismic Facies and Piston Cores

Systematic mapping of 3.5 kHz seismic facies (echo character) reveals the geometry, scales and distribution of Late Quaternary mass-transport deposits (MTDs) within the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) intraslope basin province and adjacent Sigsbee Abyssal Plain. The 3.5 kHz seismic facies indicate that localized MTDs are common in the intraslope mini-basins. MTDs of larger scale occur on the uppe...

Facies Classifications for Seismic Inversion

Identifying facies for classification for a seismic inversion project is an important step where one balances computational effort and the quality of the results. We propose a new measure to quantify the suitability of a given facies partition based on information theory. The results depend on a user-selected cutoff, and we propose a reasonable value for this constant. We also show the analysis...

Facies, sedimentary environments and sequence stratigraphy of Cretaceous deposits in the northwest of Azerbaijan, Iran

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...
