Full textMohawk Valley is an inter montane basin with a rich Quaternary record, located at the northernmost end of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in northeastern California. Geologic mapping of surficial deposits, stratigraphy, tephrochronology, geomorphology, and soil development were used to interpret the past 740 ky of Quaternary history of Mohawk Valley. The robust tephrochronologic record within Mohawk Valley includes twenty-six different tephras and sixty-seven tephra beds that range in age from 740 to 7 ka. Geochemical analyses and correlations with previously identified volcanic tephras have resulted in revised age estimates for tephra beds distributed within, and beyond, Mohawk Valley.
The tephra beds were deposited in lacustrine deposits of Mohawk Lake. Elevations of shorelines and minimum lake-levels based on elevations of waterlain tephra beds were used to reconstruct the history of Mohawk Lake. Mohawk Lake began to fill prior to 740 ka and continued to fluctuate, but overall rise, until after 175-235 ka when the lake reached the sill elevation, began to spill to the west, then incrementally lower and empty by ~7 ka. Throughout this period, there were at least five, and up to nine, different generations of glacial deposits that extended towards Mohawk Lake. These glacial deposits have been mapped, their soil development and weathering properties characterized, and ages estimated based on stratigraphic relations with tephra beds deposited within Mohawk Lake deposits. This mostly continuous, 740 ky record of sedimentation has enormous potential to examine paleoclimate in this area from any of a number of paleoclimate proxies.
The interpretation that a deep lake existed in Mohawk Valley requires a mechanism to allow for deposition and preservation of organic-rich deposits in deep water. Mohawk Lake was likely a meromictic lake, a setting that leads to an anoxic environment that can preserve organic-rich sediments such as those found in Mohawk Valley. In addition, shorelines around Mohawk Valley and across much of the Mohawk Valley Fault Zone are at consistent elevations suggesting there is not a significant vertical component of faulting since 175-235 ka, and maybe since 570-610 ka. This indicates a change from the history of subsidence since the early Pliocene.

Full textThe Chattanooga Shale is a petroleum source rock within the Black Warrior Basin. Several attempts have been made to exploit this formation for unconventional shale gas. However, past studies of the Chattanooga indicate an area of the shale should produce liquid hydrocarbons. This paper expands upon the previous work by using old data to create a new model for the burial history and thermal maturation of the Chattanooga Shale. This new basin model incorporates formation lithologies, ages, thicknesses, and thermal maturity indicators. The long history of the Black Warrior Basin includes a significant period of unroofing. Part of the model seeks to estimate the thickness of the missing section. The study also addresses complex maturation patterns observed in the basin by previous workers. The author concludes that an oil window exists in the Chattanooga Shale.

Full textTwo models could explain the development of a thick conglomerate buildup along a linear topographic step. The first suggests that southward (transgressive) movement of a pebbly barrier was halted at the topographic feature. The second suggests that when the F3 parasequence shoreline arrived at the topographic step progradation rates slowed significantly. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Full textEarliest deformation preserved within the TFZ in the Wollaston Lake area is the transposition of a regional gneissic foliation onto a northeast-trending flattening plane, within north-trending sinistral shear zones. The transposed fabric is characterized by folded and attenuated remnants of the gneissic foliation, together with boudinaged leucogranitic sheets and dykes. Within these shear zones a shear fabric is developed parallel to the margins in several locations. The shear fabric offsets all earlier foliations with consistent sinistral offset. Adjacent to the shear fabric, structures are reoriented to lie dose to the shear plane.
The fault and its associated structures controlled the intrusion of granitic and pegmatitic dykes which were subsequently weakly deformed.
Brittle overprinting of ductile fault features is widespread. Sedimentary features, apatite fission track data, and uranium mineralogical studies all show that the TFZ was reactivated at least twice in Phanerozoic times. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
Kiconco, Lyoidah. "The Semliki Basin, Uganda : its sedimentation history and stratigraphy in relation to petroleum accumulation." Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 2005. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8656.
Full textThe Semliki Basin is covered by sediments that represent the Middle Miocene to Recent, which are described from outcrop and well data, underlain by possible Jurassic or Permo-Triassic to Early Tertiary sediments, which rest unconformably on Basement, described from seismic data. Thin-section analysis of selected samples, collected from the field, has shown that sandstones from the Semliki Basin are predominantly composed of quartz, potassium feldspars and plagioclase feldspars with subordinate clay minerals. Accessory minerals, such as micas (biotite and muscovite), heavy minerals, garnet and epidote, are present in minor amounts. This mineralogy indicates that the sediments have a granitic and gneissose origin, related to continental-block provenances. The X-ray diffraction scans of bulk samples reveal that the mudrocks/claystones are dominated by clay minerals with subordinate quartz, feldspars and calcite. The clay minerals include illite, illite-smectite, kaolinite, montmorillonite, illite-monnnorillonite, and mica with mixed layer illite-smectite and illite layers dominating. The clay minerals in the sediments were interpreted to be as a result of weathering of feldspars and volcaniclastic sediments. Authigenic minerals such as anatase and jarosite and secondary precipitates such as calcite and gypsum have also been interpreted as oxidation products of sulphides in the sediments. The study has allowed a better understanding of the stratigraphic relationship of the different rock units that are exposed on outcrop, those encountered in the wells, plus a section interpreted from seismic data. In general, the depositional environment of the sediments in the Semliki Basin is fluvial-lacustrine/deltaic showing significant variations in gamma-ray character, which reflect the water-level changes and river interactions through the depositional period and the influence of rifting tectonics on sediment deposition through time and space. The sediments in the Semliki Basin represent a petroleum play for hydrocarbon accumulations, in which the necessary elements of a valid petroleum system were identified. These include excellent or good potential for reservoirs and top seals as well as circumstantial evidence of regionally mature source rocks, possible seals, traps and hydrocarbon-migration pathways.
