Sediment transport processes and lateral facies gradients across a muddy shelf: Examples from the Geneseo Formation of central New York, United States

Studying fine-grained siliciclastic deposits of late Middle Devonian in the northern Appalachian Basin provides an exquisite natural laboratory to observe the complex environments in which mud can accumulate. More detailed correlation and facies characterization of this succession provide a wealth of information and insight into the diverse transport mechanisms responsible for distributing clastics hundreds of kilometers away from a tectonically active source area.

Guadalupe Mountains, West Texas and New Mexico: Key excursions

The carbonate and siliciclastic outcrops of the Guadalupe Mountains in the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico have provided a rich set of basic and advanced conceptual models for geologists across the entire spectrum of experience for carbonate-ramp and steep-rimmed–platform settings as well as the adjacent deep-water siliciclastics not dealt with here.

Field excursion: Petroleum traps and structures along the San Andreas convergent strike-slip plate boundary, California

Fault-related fold models that illustrate the geometry and kinematic development of petroleum traps and structures are frequently used to assist basin exploration and development of structurally complex oil fields. Worldwide, several petroleum-rich provinces are situated in convergent strike-slip settings with adjacent convergent structures that are commonly petroleum traps.
