Sequence Stratigraphic Analysis of the Youngest Nonmarine Sequence In the Cretaceous Ferron Notom Delta, South Central Utah, U.S.A.FLUVIAL SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY OF THE FERRON NOTOM DELTA

This study evaluates the nature and internal complexity of high-frequency fluvial aggradational cycles and linked paleosols that were previously not recognized in nonmarine sequences of the Turonian Ferron Notom Delta in Central Utah. Detailed facies analysis of the ∼ 33-meter-thick youngest nonmarine sequence (Sequence 1) reveals 11 depositional facies that build 33 fluvial aggradational cycles, 9 fluvial aggradation cycles sets, and 3 …
