The stratigraphy of the formation is re-evaluated by applying a multidisciplinary approach, which includes chemostratigraphy, mineralogy, palynology, Sm–Nd isotopes, petrophysics and sedimentology, to well 44/21-3, as it has encountered a thick, relatively complete section through the Schooner Formation. The formation is divided into three chemo- stratigraphical units (S1, S2 and S3) and eleven sub-units on the basis of variations in the mudstone and sandstone data, these variations being linked to changes in provenance, depositional environment and climate. The chemostratigraphical zonation is compared with the biostratigraphical zonation of the same section – heavy-mineral data confirm the sediment source, and Sm– Nd isotope data provide a provenance age for the well 44/21-3 interval. The correlation potential of the new stratigraphical frame- work is tested on several scales, using data acquired from other southern North Sea wells and from Upper Carboniferous strata of the English Midlands.

  • Overview of the Strategic and Structural Evolution of the Talladega Slate Belt, Alabama Appalachians
    fl d029-08 1st pgs page 1 The Geological Society of America Field Guide 29 2012 Overview of the stratigraphic and structural evolution of the Talladega slate belt, Alabama Appalachians James F. Tull* Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Science, Florida State University Clinton I. Barineau* Department of Earth and Space Sciences, Columbus State University ABSTRACT The allochthonous Talladega belt of eastern-northeastern Alabama and north- western Georgia is a northeast striking, fault bounded block of lower greenschist facies metasedimentary and metaigneous rocks that formed along the margin of Lau- rentia at or outboard of the seaward edge of the Alabama promontory. Bounded by metamorphic rocks of the higher grade Neoproterozoic(?) to Carboniferous eastern Blue Ridge on the southeast and unmetamorphosed to anchimetamorphic Paleozoic rocks of the Appalachian foreland on the northwest, the Talladega belt includes shelf facies rocks of the latest Neoproterozoic/earliest Cambrian Kahatchee Mountain Group, Cambrian-Ordovician Sylacauga Marble Group, and the latest Silurian(?) to uppermost Devonian/earliest Mississippian Talladega Group. Along the southeast- ern fl ank of these metasedimentary sequences, a Middle Ordovician back-arc terrane (Hillabee Greenstone) was tectonically emplaced along a cryptic pre-metamorphic thrust fault (Hillabee thrust) and subsequently dismembered with units of the upper Talladega Group along the post-metamorphic Hollins Line fault system. Importantly, strata within the Talladega belt are critical for understanding the tectonic evolution of the southern Appalachian orogen when coupled with the geologic history of adjacent terranes. Rocks of the lower Talladega Group, the Lay Dam Formation, suggest latest Silurian-earliest Devonian tectonism that is only now being recognized in other areas of the southern Appalachians.

Correlations with surface exposures are established. Maps and cross sections display the thickness, structure, and stratigraphic relationships of the carbonates described. ,A paleogeologic map of New York State at the end of the Early Ordovician is presented. Two distinct series of rocks which comprise the Cambrian and Ordovician carbonates of New York'are described and studied in detail. The monograpil includes an extensive bibliography, several schematic figures and diagrams, and two appendices which give data relevant to the identification of control wells and subsurface data from control wells.
