Depositional paleoenvironments of the Lower Permian (upper Cisuralian) carbonate succession of Paso Hondo Formation in Chiapas State, southeastern Mexico
TLDR
A microfacies analysis carried out on the carbonate rocks of a stratigraphic section, allowed for the first time the recognition of the depositional conditions that prevailed in the Chicomuselo region at the end of the Cisuralian as mentioned in this paper.About:

Miguel A. Torres-Martínez,Daniela P. Heredia-Jiménez,Francisco Sour-Tovar,Blanca E. Buitrón-Sánchez,Ricardo Barragán +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, eleven brachiopod species from the Paso Hondo Formation in the Chicomuselo region of southern Chiapas, Mexico are described, including Dyoros (Tetragonetes) rectangulatus, Costispinifera rugatula, Echinosteges tuberculatus, Tropidelasma furcillatum, Acosarina rectimarginata, Tautosia transenna, Composita hapsida, and Neospirifer venezuelensis.

Paleoecology of the first Devonian-like sclerobiont association on Permian brachiopods from southeastern Mexico
TL;DR: In this article, a sclerobiont association from the Paso Hondo Formation (Roadian, middle Permian), Chiapas, Mexico is described, which is similar to those recorded in different Devonian localities, especially by the cooccurrence of microconchids, hederelloids, and bryozoans.

Carboniferous brachiopod communities from Wadi Araba, western side of the Gulf of Suez, Egypt: Paleontology, paleoecology and paleobiogeography
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified brachiopod fauna is dominated by diverse species of Athyridida, Orthotetida, and Productida and highlighted the paleobiogeography of the benthic assemblages including Brachiopoda and bryozoans.

Kinematics and Ar–Ar illite age of deformation in the late Paleozoic Chicomuselo Fold-Thrust Belt (CFTB), Chiapas, Mexico and tectonic implications
TL;DR: The Chicomuselo fold-thrust belt (CFTB) is perhaps the less known cover orogen in Mexico as discussed by the authors , which is constituted by a succession of sedimentary late Paleozoic marine rocks that include the Santa Rosa Inferior and Paso Hondo formations, the age of these units was constrained from the Mississippian to the late Wolfcampian (early Permian).

Classification of Carbonate Rocks According to Depositional Textures
TL;DR: In this paper, three textural features seem especially useful in classifying those carbonate rocks that retain their depositional texture: presence or absence of carbonate mud, which differentiates muddy carbonate from grainstone; abundance of grains, which allows muddy carbonates to be subdivided into mudstone, wackstone, and packstone; and presence of signs of binding during deposition, which characterizes boundstone.

Microfacies of Carbonate Rocks: Analysis, Interpretation and Application
TL;DR: New Perspectives in Microfacies: as discussed by the authors presented new perspectives in microfacies, including diagenesis, porosity, and Dolomitization of limestones, as well as the use of micro-facies for preservation.

Carbonate ramp depositional systems
T.P. Burchette,V. P. Wright +1 more
TL;DR: The classification, tectonic settings, stratigraphy, and early diagenesis of carbonate ramp systems are reviewed in this paper, where a range of wave-, storm-, and tide-dominated ramps can be recognized and this form the most convenient basis for ramp classification.

Types of carbonate platforms: a genetic approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the variability of depositional profiles among carbonate platforms as a function of the type of sediment that was produced (basically grain size), the locus of sediment production, and the hydraulic energy was considered.
