Sedimentology, diagenesis, and dolomitization of the Brac Formation (Lower Oligocene), Cayman Brac, British West Indies
DownloadFall 2009
The Oligocene Brac Formation is the oldest part of the Bluff Group that is exposed on Cayman Brac. Sediments of the Brac Formation were deposited on a small, open bank in shallow marine waters. Today, the formation is composed of limestone, finely crystalline dolostone, and coarsely crystalline...

Spring 2010
Carbon isotope analyses of gases extracted from drilling muds while drilling in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) can be used to create carbon isotopic depth profiles. These profiles provide essentially continuous data through the stratigraphic section, offering a unique opportunity to...

Sedimentology and stratigraphy of the Granite Wash: Contact Rapids and Keg River Sandstone (Red Earth area)
DownloadFall 2010
The Granite Wash is comprised of diachronous, Cambrian to Devonian sandstone deposits, which include the Devonian Contact Rapids and Keg River sandstones of which this study will focus. Prolific oil production from the Granite Wash has fueled exploration since the 1950s and as a result...

Ichnology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, and trace fossil-permeability relationships in the Upper Cretaceous Medicine Hat Member, Medicine Hat gas field, southeast Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2010
The Upper Cretaceous Medicine Hat Member (Niobrara Formation) in western Canada contains abundant reserves of biogenic natural gas. In the Medicine Hat gas field area of southeast Alberta, nineteen cored intervals were examined and classified based on primary physical and biogenic sedimentary...

Ediacaran iron formations and carbonates from Uruguay: palaeoceanographic, palaeoclimatic and palaeobiologic implications
DownloadFall 2010
The Ediacaran in Uruguay preserves a unique record of deposits generated during the assembly of the palaeocontinent Gondwana and concurrent with major changes in the atmosphere and oceans, and the rise of animal life. Recent studies have suggested that the deep oceans remained anoxic and highly...

Stratigraphy, petrography and geochemistry of the Bad Heart Formation, Northwestern Alberta
DownloadSpring 2011
Bad Heart Formation oolitic ironstone is the largest resources of iron in western Canada. During this study, 45 new sections from outcrop, trench and drill holes were mapped, and 325 samples were collected for petrographic and geochemical analysis. The objective of the first paper is to refine...

Sedimentology, ichnology, and development of a sub-regional depositional and stratigraphic framework for the McMurray-Wabiskaw succession in the MacKay River Area, northeastern Alberta
DownloadFall 2011
The lower Cretaceous McMurray Formation is a prolific bitumen reservoir in the Athabasca Oil Sands deposit of northeastern Alberta. In the MacKay River area northwest of Fort McMurray, the depositional style, stratigraphy, and reservoir character differ from that of the traditional main valley...

Deposition and sea level fluctuations during Miocene times, Grand Cayman, British West Indies
DownloadFall 2012
The Lower to Middle Miocene Cayman Formation on Grand Cayman, which is part of the Bluff Group, is at least 130 m thick. The mostly dolomitized Cayman Formation is herein divided into a ‘limestone member’ and ‘dolostone member’ as limestone is found in the formation in the central part of Grand...

The Sedimentology, Stratigraphy and Reservoir Characteristics of the Montney D1 and D2 Horizons, Greater Pouce Coupe Area, Alberta and British Columbia
DownloadFall 2016
The Middle Montney D1 and D2 Horizons in the Greater Pouce Coupe Area are important exploration targets. These moderate porosity and low permeability siltstone units have been referred to as distal shelf deposits in the past, based primarily on their restricted grain size. The D1 and D2 Horizons...

Paleoceanographic significance of the Neoproterozoic Polanco Limestones Formation (Uruguay): stratigraphy, isotopic geochemistry and age
DownloadSpring 2016
Carbon and Strontium isotope data for marine carbonates can provide a detailed record of isotopic variations in seawater through time and have proven to be a valuable tool for interpreting biogeochemical events and correlating Neoproterozoic sedimentary successions worldwide. The Neoproterozoic...
