Detrital Zircon Link Between Headwaters and Terminus of the Upper Triassic Chinle-Dockum Paleoriver System
New detrital-zircon geochronologic data reveal that a through-going paleoriver connected Texas with Nevada in Late Triassic time. Sandstone from the Upper Triassic Santa Rosa Sandstone (Dockum Group) from northwestern Texas contains a detrital zircon suite nearly identical to that found in western Nevada in the Upper Triassic Osobb Formation (Auld Lang Syne Group, correlative with the Chinle Fo...
متن کاملApplication of glauconite and fossil palynomorphs in reconstructing the Liassic paleogeography just before the opening of the Gulf of Mexico
Red beds, conglomerates and salt were considered azoic and problematic rocks, but Paleopalynology and Inorganic Geochemistry proved to be useful for placing them in time and space. In the early last century, in Mexican NE region, only three Mesozoic red bed units were differentiated, dated as Late Triassic to Late Jurassic. It was important tratigraphically to place them properly as they were c...

In (Part I), it was stated that red beds, conglomerates and salt were considered azoic and problematic rocks, but Paleopalynology and Inorganic Geochemistry proved to be useful for placing them in time and space. In the early last century, in Mexican NE region, only three Mesozoic red bed units were differentiated, dated as Late Triassic to Late Jurassic. It was important stratigraphically to p...
متن کاملProvenance of Triassic and Jurassic Sandstones in the Banda Arc: Petrography, Heavy Minerals and Zircon Geochronology
Quartz-rich sandstones in the Banda Arc Islands are thought to be equivalent of Mesozoic sandstones on the Australian NW Shelf where they are important proven and potential reservoirs. Previous studies suggested that rivers draining Australia provided most of the sediment input and there have been suggestions of a northern provenance for some Timor sediments. We present results from a provenanc...
متن کاملTemporal and spatial trends of Late Cretaceous-early Tertiary underplating of Pelona and related schist beneath southern California and southwestern Arizona
The Pelona, Orocopia, and Rand Schists and the schists of Portal Ridge and Sierra de Salinas constitute a high–pressure-temperature terrane that was accreted beneath North American basement in Late Cretaceous–earliest Tertiary time. The schists crop out in a belt extending from the southern Coast Ranges through the Mojave Desert, central Transverse Ranges, southeastern California, and southwest...
