Diastem factor in Mississippian rocks of the northern Rocky Mountains

Rietveld analysis of X‐ray powder diffraction patterns as a potential tool for the identification of impact‐deformed carbonate rocks

“…2; Sando 1976;Smith and Dorobek 1993). This unit was subsequently altered by Late Mississippian karstification and dolomitization and documents deep to shallow burial from west to east (Sando 1988;Smith and Dorobek 1993).…”

Preliminary reconnaissance study of Lower and lower Upper Mississippian strata across northwestern Utah

“…The line of stratigraphic sections is shown graphically in figure 4B. In the view of Sando's (1974) model, a significant thickness of Osagean rocks may have been removed during early Meramecian erosion. The westward change in thickness and facies requires testing of this model through more detailed chronostratigraphy than is now available in the published literature.…”

“…More recent studies that give additional evidence for this conclusion include those of Sando, Dutro, and Gere (1959), Sando (1963} Sando andMamet (1974), Sando and Dutro (1974), and Sando (1975). The Mississippian history of the northern Cordilleran region of the United States, outlined by Sando (1974), is shown diagrammatically by figure 2. It should be noted that Sando established the unconformity within the Meramecian but before middle Meramecian time.…”

Mississippian and Pennsylvanian stratigraphy in southwest Montana and adjacent Idaho

“…1 0). It is the only known record of continuous carbonate deposition from cycle I to cycle III of Sando (1976), a veritable "missing link" in the history of Mississippian sedimentation in the northern Cordilleran region.…”

“…3). It represents a shallow-water, probably lagoonal, embayment marking the initiation of cycle III eastward transgression of the Cordilleran sea onto the cratonic karst plain during post-Mission Canyon time (see Dutro, 1975, andSando, 1976).…”
