SOURCE-TO-SINK SEDIMENT BUDGET ANALYSIS OF THE CRETACEOUS FERRON SANDSTONE, UTAH, U.S.A., USING THE FULCRUM APPROACHS. SHARMA ET AL.SOURCE-TO-SINK SEDIMENT BUDGET ANALYSIS OF THE CRETACEOUS FERRON SANDSTONE

This paper matches sediment fluxes, estimated to have passed through an ancient river system, with mapped downstream sediment volumes in a deltaic sink, providing a test of the recently developed fulcrum approach to source-to-sink analysis. This paper uses field measurements (such as channel depth, width, and grain size) to estimate paleodischarge in an ancient trunk channel of the Cretaceous Ferron Sandstone in central Utah. The estimates of …
