TL;DR: In this article, a three-tier hierarchy of depositional cyclicity of alluvial strata of latest Cretaceous and earliest Tertiary age are continuously exposed along Dawson Creek, in Big Bend National Park, west Texas, U.S.A.

TL;DR: In this article, high-precision geochronology provides unprecedented insights into the depositional history of the Upper Triassic Chinle Formation of the Colorado Plateau, as well as its paleoenvironmental and paleobiological records.

TL;DR: In this paper, a quantitative structure-catagenesis relationship was proposed to predict the hydrocarbon generation potential of source rocks and of lacustrine, marine, and terrestrial origin (types I, II, and humic coals).

TL;DR: In this paper, the isotope chemistry of bulk organic matter with inorganic geochemical data was integrated to facilitate a better understanding of paleoceanographic conditions during Eagle Ford deposition, which revealed the chemostratigraphic character and the evolution of Cretaceous seawater chemistry on the Texas shelf and allowed the identification of six distinct chemofacies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the expected isotopic composition and trace-element concentration of marine-derived Late Jurassic anhydrite cement is predicted based on analyses of bedded anhydrites and on analyses found in the literature.
