Sediment Gravity Flows: II Depositional Models with Special Reference to the Deposits of High-Density Turbidity Currents
TL;DR: In this article, sediment deposition from individual sediment flows commonly involves more than one of these mechanisms acting either serially as the flow evolves or simultaneously on different grain populations, and the effects of hindered settling, dispersive pressure, and matrix buoyant lift are con entration dependent.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of sediment recycling and basement composition on evolution of mudrock chemistry in the southwestern United States
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report systematic changes in mudrock composition through time on a single con- tinental cmstal block and show that the changes reflect both sediment recycling processes and changes through time in the composition of crystalline material being added to the sedimentary system and are related to tectonic evolution as the block matures from a series of accreted arc terranes to a stable craton.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water escape structures in coarse-grained sediments
TL;DR: Water escape structures as discussed by the authors represent both the direct rearrangement of sediment grains by escaping fluids and the deformation of hydroplastic, liquefied, or fluidized sediment in response to external stresses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photosynthetic microbial mats in the 3,416-Myr-old ocean
Michael M. Tice,Donald R. Lowe +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that photosynthetic organisms had evolved and were living in a stratified ocean supersaturated in dissolved silica 3,416 Myr ago.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Archean climatic temperature inferred from oxygen isotope geochemistry of cherts in the 3.5 Ga Swaziland Supergroup, South Africa
L. Paul Knauth,Donald R. Lowe +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, oxygen isotope data combined with the results of geological and sedimentological studies demonstrate that enclaves of synsedimentary to very early diagenetic cherts are widely preserved in the 3.5-3.2 Ga Swaziland Supergroup, Barberton greenstone belt, South Africa.
