Slope and basin-floor channel sand bodies in the Permian Brushy Canyon Formation
comprise a depositional profile, along which changes in the facies architecture of a fourfold
channelform hierarchy are compared. Channel complexes form sand bodies with serrated
margins consisting of stacked channels that increase in offset basinward. Channels and
complexes record “cut,”“fill,” and “spill” phases of bypass and deposition, with channel and
over-bank deposition offset in time.
Abstract
Slope and basin-floor channel sand bodies in the Permian Brushy Canyon Formation comprise a depositional profile, along which changes in the facies architecture of a fourfold channelform hierarchy are compared. Channel complexes form sand bodies with serrated margins consisting of stacked channels that increase in offset basinward. Channels and complexes record “cut,”“fill,” and “spill” phases of bypass and deposition, with channel and over-bank deposition offset in time.
