40Ar/39Ar Dating of Detrital Muscovite and Sediment Compositional Analysis of the Pottsville Formation in the Black Warrior basin in Alabama: Implications for Tectonics and Sedimentation

Moore, Mitchell (2012-11-05)

The Greater Black Warrior basin, including the Cahaba and Coosa synclinoria and the Black Warrior basin, contains the thickest preserved accumulation (ca. 2 km) of sediment in the Appalachian-Ouachita foreland. 40Ar/39Ar ...

Analysis of Mudrock Lithofacies and Hydrocarbon-Source Potential of the Middle Ordovician Athens Shale, Alabama Fold and Thrust Belt

Daymond, Phillip (2017-04-18)

Lithologic, petrologic, and geochemical studies were performed on the Ordovician Athens Shale, with a focus on a 140-ft-thick core section recovered near Calera, Alabama, supplemented by observations of limited outcrop ...

Biotic Composition and Taphonomy of an Upper Cretaceous Konservat-Lagerstätte: The Ingersoll Shale, Eutaw Formation, Eastern Alabama

Knight, Terrell (2007-08-15)

The Ingersoll shale is a thin (<1m), laterally restricted clay lens within the Upper Cretaceous (Santonian) Eutaw Formation, Russell County, eastern Alabama. The clay lens represents abandoned tidal creek fill within an ...

Distribution of encrusting foraminifera at Cat Island, Bahamas: Implications for foraminiferal assemblages in the geologic record

Smith, Christopher (2015-06-05)

Benthic foraminifera that are cemented by calcium carbonate or are otherwise firmly fixed to hard surfaces are commonly known as encrusting foraminifera. Very few studies focus on the use of encrusting foraminifera as ...

Fate and Transformation of Oils and Trace Metals in Alabama and Louisiana Coastal Marsh Sediments Associated with the British Petroleum Gulf Oil Spill

Natter, Michael (2012-04-10)

The effects of the 2010 BP Macondo-1 well oil spill on the geochemistry of sediments and water columns at ten Gulf salt-marsh sites were investigated, months after the spill ceased. The ten sampling sites include four ...

Geology of the Moscow Landing Section, Tombigbee River, Western Alabama, with Focus on Ichnologic Aspects of the Lower Paleocene Clayton Formation

Foster, Carleton III (2019-06-07)

Sedimentologic and ichnologic studies were performed on units of the Moscow Landing section, a ~1.5-km exposure of Upper Cretaceous and Lower Paleocene strata along the west bank of the Tombigbee River, Sumter County, ...

Petrofacies Analysis and Detrital Geochronology of Oligocene Sediments from the Bengal Basin and Southeast Shillong, Northeast India

Naher, Jasmin (2020-09-09) ETD File Embargoed

Oligocene sedimentation at the Assam-Bengal system provides a record of shifting sediment source areas and unroofing events in the adjacent Himalayan mountain and accretionary wedges of Indo-Burman ranges during the early ...

Petrofacies Evolution of Upper Siwalik-equivalent (?) Pliocene-Pleistocene Dupi Tila Formation, Bengal Basin, Bangladesh

Munim, Mustuque (2017-07-31)

Nearly 2.5-km-thick Pliocene-Pleistocene Dupi Tila Formation of the Bengal basin is composed of yellow, light brown, and pink, coarse- to very fine-grained, moderately to loosely indurated sandstone, siltstone, silty clay, ...

Phosphatic Concretions and Ichnofossil Preservation in a Marine Lagerstätte, Ripley Formation, Central Alabama

Hall, Jonathan (2006-05-15)

Phosphate concretions are common in the Upper Cretaceous Ripley Formation exposed along Dry Cedar Creek, Lowndes County, Alabama. Sedimentologic and ichnologic studies of concretions and host sediments were undertaken to ...

Provenance and Basin Tectonics of Oligocene-miocene Sequences of the Bengal Basin, Bangladesh

Zahid, Khandaker (2005-12-15)

Oligocene and Miocene strata of the Bengal basin, Bangladesh, show significant changes in sediment composition and record sediment-input history from different sources adjacent to the basin. Oligocene Barail sands (Qt70F2L28) ...

Provenance of Lower Pennsylvanian Pottsville Formation, Cahaba Basin, Alabama

Peavy, Tara (2008-12-15)

The Cahaba basin, also known as the Cahaba Synclinorium, of north-central Alabama contains a thick (>2.5 km) synorogenic clastic wedge belonging to the Lower Pennsylvanian Pottsville Formation. Sediment composition and ...

Relationships between large benthic foraminifera and their seagrass habitats, San Salvador, Bahamas

Buchan, Olivia (2006-05-15)

Vegetation beds are important in the ecology and depositional history of platform carbonates. The vegetation itself, frequently dominated by the seagrass Thalassia, has a low preservation potential, but plants and benthic ...

Sedimentation and Tectonic Evolution of Cenozoic Sequences from Bengal and Assam Foreland Basins, Eastern Himalayas

Rahman, Mohammad (2008-08-15)

The Himalayan Mountains developed due to the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates. There are two large foreland basins south of the eastern Himalayas: Assam Basin, located near the eastern syntaxis of the Himalayas, ...

Stratigraphic and Paleoenvironmental Context of the Ingersoll Shale, An Upper Cretaceous Conservation Lagerstatte, Eutaw Formation, Eastern Alabama

Bingham, Patrick (2007-08-15)

The Ingersoll shale, a thin (<1 m) clay-dominated lens within the Upper Cretaceous Eutaw Formation exposed in Russell County, Alabama, contains an exceptionally well-preserved, primarily terrestrial biota that includes a ...
