The sedimentology of the Lower Permian Dandot Formation: a component of the Gondwana deglaciation sequence of the Salt Range, Pakistan [PDF]
The Dandot Formation is a part of the Lower Permian, dominantly continental, Gondwanan Nilawahan Group in the Salt Range, Pakistan. The formation conformably overlies the glacio-fluvial Tobra Formation and has a sharp conformable contact with the ...

The role of sea-level change and marine anoxia in the Frasnian-Famennian (Late Devonian) mass extinction [PDF]
Johnson et al. (Johnson, J.G., Klapper, G., Sandberg, C.A., 1985. Devonian eustatic fluctuations in Euramerica. Geological Society of America Bulletin 96, 567–587) proposed one of the first explicit links between marine anoxia, transgression and mass ...

The palaeoecology of two Scottish encrinites: Jurassic crinoid assemblages from the Trotternish Peninsula, Isle of Skye, Scotland [PDF]
Despite a long history of investigation, articulate crinoids from the Jurassic of Scotland have not received great attention compared to their counterparts in Southern England or continental Europe; this is thought to be largely due to poor preservation.

Shale, which is a fine-grained sedimentary rock, differs in reservoir quality (RQ) and completion quality (CQ) as the result of variations in its mineral and organic-matter compositions. The RQ and CQ directly affect shale gas exploitation.

Sedimentary lithofacies, petrography and diagenesis of the Kapuni group in the Kapuni Field, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science with Honours in Earth Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
The reservoir architecture and quality of the Kapuni Group sandstones in seven wells (Kapuni−1, −3, −8, −12, Deep−1, 14 and −15) in the Kapuni Field are characterised using available core and digital geophysical log data.

Ultrasonic velocity anisotropy of Jurassic shales with different lithofacies
AbstractGiven the growing importance of organic-rich shale as unconventional reservoirs, a thorough understanding of the elastic and anisotropic behavior of shales is of great concern. However, for lacustrine shales, the complex lithofacies assemblage with geological deposition makes it challenging. Four lithofacies (argillaceous, mixed, siliceous, and

The sedimentary geology, palaeoenvironments and ichnocoenoses of the Lower Devonian Horlick Formation, Ohio Range, Antarctica [PDF]
Six ichnocoenoses in the clastic Devonian Horlick Formation (max. 56 m) confirm the nearshore marine character of eight of the nine lithofacies present.

The deep paleo‐lake, characterised by low energy and moderate salinity, facilitated the input of fine‐grained minerals and the development of aquatic organic matter. Under the combined influence of the sedimentary environment and material source, mineral‐bound organic matter was formed, which played a crucial role in the enrichment of organic matter ...
