Depositional patterns and stratal relationships on the distal margins of a foreland basin: Middle Jurassic Gypsum Spring and lower Sundance Formations, Bighorn Basin, WY
Gilbert, Clark (Wichita State University, 2012-12)Depositional patterns and stratal relationships in the Middle Jurassic Gypsum Spring and lower Sundance Formations were influenced by a combination of paleotopographic highs and eustatic changes in the eastern Bighorn ... -
Development of Middle Jurassic microbial buildupsin the Bighorn Basin of northern Wyoming
Ploynoi, Manwika (2007-05)This research examines the development of microbial buildups in the Middle Jurassic Lower Sundance Formation in the Bighorn Basin of northwestern Wyoming. Previous studies of Jurassic microbial research have focused on ... -
Fracture pattern and stratigraphic analysis of the niobraraequivalent Cody Shale, Bighorn Basin, Wyoming
Moots, Wesley (Wichita State University, 2020-05)Unconventional shale resources have become a significant focus of petroleum exploration and production in North America over the past few decades, and recent USGS assessments of unconventional targets include the Cody ... -
Lithofacies distribution and diagenetic overprint of the Jurassic Smackover formation at Little Cedar Creek Field, Conecuh County, Alabama
Wheiland, Peter (Wichita State University, 2015-05)Upper Jurassic microbial carbonate buildups are proven petroleum reservoirs in southwest Alabama, including at Appleton, Vocation and Little Cedar Creek Fields. For the past 30 years, extensive effort has been applied to ... -
Little Arkansas River trace metal investigation
Sinclair, Jacob T. (Wichita State University, 2015-05)The Little Arkansas River originates in central Kansas in areas of high agriculture near the town of McPherson and flows south through increasing urbanization until joining the Arkansas River in Wichita Ks. With population ... -
Sedimentology and stratigraphy of microbialite facies in the roubidoux and Jefferson City formations of central and southwest Missouri and central Kansas
Warusavitharana, Chamandika J. (Wichita State University, 2012-12)Outcrop studies of sedimentary and stratigraphic features of microbial buildups are important in developing conceptual models for exploration of potential microbialite reservoirs. This study examines the occurrence and ... -
Stratigraphic relationships across the Triassic-Jurassic Boundary, Northwest Bighorn Basin; Park County, Wyoming
Woods, Jonathan L. (Wichita State University, 2018-12)Early Mesozoic stratigraphy in the foreland Rocky Mountains of Wyoming records deposition in a variety of depositional environments and tectonic settings which have led to contrasting interpretations of the stratal ... -
Stratigraphic relationships across the Triassic-Jurassic boundary; Big Horn County, Wyoming
Baker, Robert (Wichita State University, 2018-12)The stratigraphic relationships across the Triassic-Jurassic boundary have not been clearly defined due to poor biostratigraphic control. Establishing these relationships is important to develop an understanding of the ... -
Upper Jurassic microbolite buildups in the little cedar creek and Brooklyn fields in SW Alabama
Day, Kyle Lee (Wichita State University, 2014-05)This study investigates the stratal relationships of a pure microbolite within the Upper Jurassic strata at the Little Cedar Creek, and Brooklyn Fields, or complex, for the development of a refined exploration model of ... -
Using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) to assess the stratigraphic relationships of the middle Jurassic Gypsum Spring and Piper formations, Bighorn Basin, Wyoming and Montana
Lapeyre, Charles Christopher (Wichita State University, 2015-05)Chemostratigraphy via X-ray fluorescence measures the shifts in elemental properties within a given section of strata. It has proven to be a successful tool in both correlation and paleo-environment reconstruction. Recently, ...
