The role of storms is of major importance in forming stratification in open-shelf facies.
Though storm processes on modern shelves are not fully understood, enough is known to …

ABSTRACT The Nolichucky Formation (0–300 m thick) formed on the Cambrian pericratonic
shelf in a shallow intrashelf basin bordered along strike and toward the regional shelf edge …

Present-day hurricane belts are confined to 5°-45° latitude along the western edges of
oceans, whereas winter storms occur ubiquitously above 25° latitude. Both hurricanes and …

Flat pebble conglomerates were a common carbonate facies in Cambrian to Early
Ordovician open marine settings, but they become extremely rare in these environments …

Abstract The upper Ashgillian (Ordovician) sediments of the Oslo area were deposited on an
extensive open marine platform. Within the sequence thin sandstones (0.5–10 cm thick) are …

This paper focuses on the formative processes of limestone pseudoconglomerates in the
Gushan and Chaomidian Formations (Late Cambrian) of the North China Platform …

Flat-pebble conglomerates have been identified in the Lower Toarcian (Levisoni Zone)
carbonates of the Sesimbra region (30km south of Lisboa, Portugal) and related to …

Stratigraphic evidence suggests that Rochester shale facies belts are elongate east-west
parallel both to a northern paleoshoreline and also to the present outcrop trend. The …

An intrashelf basin located on the Upper Cambrian carbonate-rimmed shelf (miogeocline) of
the Appalachian orogene, appears to have controlled facies distribution during deposition of …
