Abstract:The Malvern Hills Coal Mine provides an opportunity to gain insight into the stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Broken River Formation while addressing the complex deformation of range-front tectonics. An up-to-date geological map, stratigraphic columns and cross-sections have led to a greater understanding of both the mine and regional geology. The stratigraphy reflects a transgressive sequence: the Broken River Formation comprises fining-upwards cycles of flaser-and lenticular-bedded quartz sandstones and… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
