Field and Scott Smith [Field, M., Scott Smith, B.H., 1999. Contrasting geology and near-surface emplacement of kimberlite pipes in southern Africa and Canada. Proc. 7th Int. Kimb. Conf. (Eds. Gurney et al.) 1, 214–237.] propose that kimberlite pipes can be grouped into three types or classes. Classical or Class 1 pipes are the only class with characteristic low temperature, diatreme-facies kimb...

Identification of the geological facies and their distribution from seismic and other available geological information is important during the early stage of reservoir development (e.g. decision on initial well locations). Traditionally, this is done by manually inspecting the signatures of the seismic attribute maps, which is very time-consuming. This paper proposes an application of the Expec...

Gran Dolina is a cavity infilled by at least 25 m of Pleistocene sediments. This sequence contains the TD6 stratigraphic unit, whose records include around 170 hominin bones that have allowed the definition of a new species, Homo antecessor. This fossil accumulation was studied as a single assemblage and interpreted as a succession of several human home bases. We propose a complete stratigraphi...

Freeman-Sheldon syndrome is a morphologically well-defined syndrome that results in a dysmorphic status combining bone anomalies and joint contractures with characteristic facies. FSS (FreemanSheldon Syndrome) is also known as craniocarpotarsal dysplasia (or dystrophy), distal arthrogryposis type IIA (DAIIA), whistling face syndrome, and whistling face-windmill vane hand syndrome. The syndrome ...

Petrographic and geochemical analyses of travertine-depositing hot springs at Angel Terrace, Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park, have been used to define five depositional facies along the spring drainage system. Spring waters are expelled in the vent facies at 71 to 73 degrees C and precipitate mounded travertine composed of aragonite needle botryoids. The apron and channel facies ...

Introduction and General Characteristics: The fan-shaped deposits of the Tharsis Montes generally share three major facies: 1) Ridged facies, 2) Knobby facies, and 3) Smooth facies. The ridged facies consists of narrow, parallel, concentric ridges interspersed in places with small hills [1]. The hummocky or knobby facies consists of dense concentrations of small sub-km scale circular to irregul...

Introduction: Over the past several years, we have presented new data and proposed a cold-based glacial hypothesis for the Tharsis Montes fan-shaped deposits [14], which were first identified and analyzed using Viking data [5-8]. Based on stratigraphic relationships with young lava flows in Tharsis, we know that the deposits are of midto late-Amazonian age [8,9], but we have little information ...

Nowadays, there are significant issues in the classification of lithofacies and identification rock types particular. Zamzama gas field demonstrates complex nature due to heterogeneous reservoir formation, while it is quite challenging identify lithofacies. Using our machine learning approach cluster analysis, we can not only resolve these difficulties, but also minimize their time-consuming as...
