Stratigraphic uncertainty in sparse versus rich data sets in a fluvial-deltaic outcrop analog: Ferron Notom delta in the Henry Mountains region, southern UtahGeohorizons

The Turonian Notom delta is one of the Ferron fluvial-deltaic wedges deposited in the Cretaceous foreland basin of North America and is well exposed in the Henry Mountains region, Utah. This article uses variable sampling of measured sections of the fluvial-deltaic wedge along a 19-mi (30-km) outcrop belt to address correlation uncertainties in sparse data sets, such as are common in subsurface studies. A high-resolution sequence-stratigraphic …
