Quaternary Facies Assemblages and Their Bounding Surfaces, Chesapeake Bay Mouth: An Approach to Mesoscale Stratigraphic Analysis

Lessons Learned from Bacterial Transport Research at the South Oyster Site

“…The surficial unconfined aquifer underlying the Oyster Site is located in the Wachapreague Formation (Mixon 1985) and consists primarily of medium to coarse sands deposited in a marine shoreface environment (Parsons et al 2003). A pervasive fine-grained layer (clay-rich silt) encountered at approximately 10-m depth serves as the lower boundary of the surficial aquifer; the depth to water table is approximately 2 m.…”
