“…Carbonate and siliciclastic sediment can either coexist, as mixed systems, or alternate in time and thus conforming to the notion of "reciprocal sedimentation" (Wilson, 1967). The termination of carbonate production and the shift to a siliciclastic system may be attributed to various controls, including: (1) subaerial exposure triggered by base-level fall; (2) rapid base-level rise and consequent drowning of the carbonate system; (3) progradation of siliciclastic systems under normal regressive conditions; and (4) change in climate and ecological conditions.…”

Part of the Earth Sciences CommonsThis Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Department of at DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska -Lincoln. It has been accepted for inclusion in Papers in the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska -Lincoln. AbstractSequence stratigraphy emphasizes facies relationships and stratal architecture within a chronological framework. Despite its wide use, sequence stratigraphy has yet to be included in any stratigraphic code or guide. This lack of standardization reflects the existence of competing approaches (or models) and confusing or even conflicting terminology. Standardization of sequence stratigraphy requires the definition of the fundamental model-independent concepts, units, bounding surfaces and workflow that outline the foundation of the method. A standardized scheme needs to be sufficiently broad to encompass all possible choices of approach, rather than being limited to a single approach or model.A sequence stratigraphic framework includes genetic units that result from the interplay of accommodation and sedimentation (i.e., forced regressive, lowstand and highstand normal regressive, and transgressive), which are bounded by "sequence stratigraphic" surfaces. Each genetic unit is defined by specific stratal stacking patterns and bounding surfaces, and consists of a tract of correlatable depositional systems (i.e., a "systems tract"). The mappability of systems tracts and sequence stratigraphic surfaces depends on depositional setting and the types of data available for analysis. It is this high degree of variability in the precise expression of sequence stratigraphic units and bounding surfaces that requires the adoption of a methodology that is sufficiently flexible that it can accommodate the range of likely expressions. The integration of outcrop, core, well-log and seismic data affords the optimal approach to the application of sequence stratigraphy. Missing insights from one set of data or another may limit the "resolution" of the sequence stratigraphic interpretation. 1 2 c a t u n e a n u e t a l . i n e a r t h -science r e v i e w s 92 (2009)

“…McKee (1967) refers to the presence of thick Pennsylvanian strata that had the opportunity to accumulate in a paleo-basin in south central New Mexico called the Orogrande Basin. The Orogrande Basin has a thick Pennsylvanian sequence that is highly variable because of tectonic instability during the Pennsylvanian period (Wilson, 1967). This tectonic instability caused numerous ancient sea-level transgressions and regressions and also formed the Perdernal uplift to the east of the Orogrande Basin (Wilson, 1967).…”

This tectonic instability caused numerous ancient sea-level transgressions and regressions and also formed the Perdernal uplift to the east of the Orogrande Basin (Wilson, 1967). For this reason, the former Orogrande Basin possesses marine and terrestrial sedimentary deposits (Wilson, 1967).…”
