this study shows that ichonology can be used to refine sequence stratigraphy as well as to interpret the depositional environment of the kalat formation (upper maastrichtian) in the central kopeh- dagh basin (ne iran), dareh-gaz section. field studies and petrography of these deposits led to recognize four lithofacies and nine subfacies that formed in the tidal flat (lithofacies a), lagoon (lit...

[1] A high-resolution stratigraphic image of a flume-generated deposit was scaled up to sedimentary basin dimensions where a natural log hydraulic conductivity (ln(K)) was assigned to each pixel on the basis of gray scale and conductivity end-members. The synthetic ln(K) map has mean, variance, and frequency distributions that are comparable to a natural alluvial fan deposit. A geostatistical a...

A hierarchical geostatistical analysis is conducted on a high-resolution, multiscale hydraulic conductivity (lnK) map, created by scaling up an experimental stratigraphy. Unlike a previous study which evaluates lnK variograms within individual depositional environments, this study analyzes deposits (or samples) that incorporate multiple depositional environments. Based on conductivity cutoffs s...

A high-resolution age–depth profile is presented for a 16-m deep-sea piston core (EW9709-PC07) using three different methods: magnetostratigraphy, fish-teeth strontium isotope stratigraphy, and radiolarian biostratigraphy. Fish teeth are abundant throughout the core, allowing for precise age determinations by Sr isotope stratigraphy. Magnetostratigraphic ages, though not available for this core...

Emry, Robert J. Revised Tertiary Stratigraphy and Paleontology of the Western Beaver Divide, Fremont County, Wyoming. Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology, number 25, 20 pages, 6 figures, 1975.•In the western Beaver Divide area in west-central Wyoming, a lens of coarse Tertiary volcanic conglomerate and tuff disconfqrmably overlies Uintan rocks of the Wagon Bed Formation. The coarse volcan...

In this contribution preliminary studies on the application of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to absolute depth calibration of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) data in application to revealing stratigraphy of easel paintings are presented. The procedure of in-situ monitoring of LIBS by means of OCT is described. Numerical method developed for precise extraction of the depth of th...
