The regional evolution of a dryland fluvio‐aeolian and lacustrine succession in response to allocyclic forcing: insights from the Early Permian Cutler Group, Utah, USA

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 297-354, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Preserved allocyclic signatures in the rock record often reflect basin‐scale climatic variability and serve as key proxies for correlating ancient dryland successions. The notion of climate cyclicity, however, remains largely untested on regionally constrained, outcrop‐calibrated studies.

Facies mosaic distribution and stratigraphic disorder of a mixed carbonate–siliciclastic tidal succession

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 40-82, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Complex stratigraphic arrangements may be generated through lateral facies transitions from the strata of aeolian depositional systems into bordering peritidal deposits. In such scenarios, sedimentary architectural complexity and associated facies heterogeneities are governed by the interplay between autogenic processes inherent to tidal ...
