Dolomites and eruptive rocks are well-developed in the Permian Fengcheng Formation Junggar Basin China, which oil gas accumulated extensively. Until now, high-yield industrial flows have been obtained dolomitic tuff of second unit Formation, demonstrates huge exploration potential thick layer massive tuff. The lithology this area has gradually transformed from dolomite, to siltstone east west. ...

In this paper, the mechanical behaviors of different lithological rocks coal measure strata from Shanxi Formation in eastern margin Ordos Basin, China, were investigated through uniaxial compression tests, and deformation characteristics failure modes investigated. On basis, energy evolution lithology was also discussed. The results show that there are obvious differences properties strata, res...

Field mapping, colour, particle size distribution, pH and x-ray diffraction studies were undertaken to elucidate the genesis of Ediki kaolin. The kaolin occurs within the Mungo formation of upper cretaceous age, ascribed to the Douala sedimentary basin. The kaolin profile consists of upward coarsening sandstone – siltstone – sandstone sequence with a gradient of 35 to 40°. Texturally, the kaoli...

The Triassic section north of Currie in southern Elko County, Nevada, is almost 500 m thick and is assigned to the Thaynes Group and overlying Shinarump Formation of the Chinle Group. The Thaynes Group disconformably overlies the Permian Gerster Formation and is mostly calcareous shale with interbedded wackestones that yield marine invertebrate fossils, especially ammonoids. The Shinarump Forma...

The Pass Peak Formation is a Tertiary basin-flank deposit exposed throughout much of the Hoback Basin; a depression physiographically distinct from, but structurally continuous with, the northern Green River Basin. Two lithofacies of the Pass Peak Formation are identified. A northern quartzite conglomeratesandstone facies, possibly as thick as 3200 ft, intertongues southward with a sandstone-si...

The NW-trending Denizli basin of the SW Turkey is one of the neotectonic grabens in the Aegean extensional province. It is bounded by normal faults on both southern and northern margins. The basin is filled by Neogene and Quaternary terrestrial deposits. Late Miocene- Late Pliocene aged Kolankaya formation crops out along the NW trending Karakova uplift in the Denizli basin. It is a typical flu...

Three sections of Chesterian Mauch Chunk Formation in Pennsylvania have been studied paleomagnetically to determine a Late Mississippian magnetic polarity stratigraphy. The upper section at Lavelle includes a conglomerate with abundant red siltstone rip-up clasts that yielded a positive conglomerate test. All samples were subjected to progressive thermal demagnetization to temperatures as high ...

Palynostratigraphy and palynofacies analyses are applied to identify transgressive-regressive sequences changes in paleoenvironment through the Middle Jurassic–Early Cretaceous succession of Ramså Basin on Andøya. The conglomerate, succeeding lacustrine-swamp deposits Hestberget Kullgrøfta members (Ramså Formation) overlying terrestrial marginal marine lower Bonteigen Member Formation), compris...
