provide a test for the hypothesis of faunal change at the Triassic-Jurassic boundary recently proposed by OLSEN and SUES (1986). They are remarkable for the numerical abundance and quality of preservation of the bones, the lithological diversity of fossil-bearing deposits, and the excellent degree of stratigraphic resolution. The vertebrate remains from the McCoy Brook Formation currently repre...

A re-examination of the El Dragón vein-type Se deposit using polarized light microscopy and scanning-electron microscopy combined with electron-microprobe analyses revealed the following results: the detection of (a) petříčekite, krut’aite and penroseite close to endmember composition; (b) a yet unknown mineral of the ideal composition CuNi2Se4; (c) intermediate members of the vaesite-pyrite so...

A shelf to basin-slope transition is vertically and laterally exposed within the Late Proterozoic Wonoka Formation in the northern Flinders Ranges of South Australia. The shelf to basin-slope transition can be divided into four units (C to F) which are defined on the basis of facies, sedimentary structures, contacts, stratal geometry, and the type and abundance of down-slope mass movement. The ...

Groundwater flow in sedimentary rock saprolite, and in soils derived from this material, is strongly influenced by sedimentary layering and fractures inherited from the parent bedrock. The main objectives of this study were to determine whether parent bedrock lithology and infilling of fractures and other macropores with pedogenically derived clays and Fe/Mn oxides also play major roles in cont...

O's/O •6 ratios of thirteen tektites from Czechoslovakia, Libya, Texas, Indochina, Philippine Islands, Australia, Java, and Peru have been determined by the fluorine-extraction technique. All but one of these lie in relatively restricted range of Oas/O •6 ratio, with $ -9.6 to 10.4 per mil relative to the ocean-water standard. Tektites are therefore 0.5 to 1.5 per mil heavier than average grani...

detailed log facies studies of miocene succession in the well rashidpur-04, rashidpur structure, surma basin were carried out by integrating wireline log and limited core sample data in order to reconstruct the paleoenvironments of deposition. based on the analysis of the log motifs, grain size, sand/shale ratio and major change in gamma ray log motifs, two major depositional sequences were ide...

Completion design for horizontal wells is typically performed using a geometric approach where the fracturing stages are evenly distributed along lateral length of well. However, this ignores intrinsic vertical and heterogeneity unconventional reservoirs, resulting in uneven production from hydraulic stages. An alternative to selectively complete intervals with similar superior reservoir qualit...

Abstract The Coniacian–Santonian Matulla Formation is one of the important reservoirs in July oilfield, Gulf Suez Basin. However, this formation characterized by uncertainty due to complexity reservoir architecture, various lithologies, lateral facies variations and heterogeneous quality. These challenges, turn, affect effectiveness further exploitation along In work, we conduct an integrated s...

the aitamir formation (albian- cenomanian) in the kopet- dagh basin consists of fine to medium grained sandstone, siltstone, shale and limestone. its lower contact with the sanganeh formation is gradual and its upper contact with the abderaz formation is unconformable. field and petrographic studies of the aitamir formation in artenj and ghorghoreh sections, located in bazangan area- east of ko...

kamtal skarn is located 15 km northeast of kharvana, east-azarbaijan. a quartz-monzonitic stock of oligocene age intruded the upper cretaceous sedimentary sequence (claystone, limestone, marl, and siltstone) developing noticeable metamorphic (marble, hornfels) and metasomatic (skarn) alteration zones along the contact. kamtal skarn is of calcic type and consists of both endoskarn and exoskarn z...
