“…The dominant shelf sediments, subjected to winnowing by waves or currents, removing the fines (Clifton, 2003;Coffey and Read, 2004), were deposited above the limit of the fair-weather wave base (approx. 30 m) on a shallow shelf.…”

This study presents a lithology-based sequence-stratigraphic framework and depositional model for Lower Cretaceous, mixed siliciclastic-carbonate sediments of the Mid-Atlantic coastal plain (eastern United States). Lithologic data from cores and cuttings were integrated with wireline logs and twodimensional seismic data to document lithofacies variability and stacking patterns across the Albemarle Basin of eastern North Carolina. Ten facies associations are defined, which are variably present within siliciclastic-and carbonate-dominated depositional profiles interpreted to extend from onshore lowland coastal plain to deep-shelf depositional environments.Three depositional sequences (0, 1, 2) were identified, each with component upward-shoaling parasequences. Seismic reflectors typically coincided with key sequence-stratigraphic surfaces, which guided correlations between wells. Parasequences are grouped into parasequence sets with progressive progradational or retrogradational (highstand and transgressive systems tracts, respectively) stacking patterns. Transgressive parasequences are thinner, uniform in thickness, and tend to be more dominated by molluskan carbonate facies. Highstand parasequences have more variable thickness, are siliciclastic dominated, and tend to be progradational on seismic data. Late highstand deposits of sequence 1 are dominated by restricted carbonate facies that likely reflect increased aridity. Lowstand deposits were not recognized from onshore well and seismic data.

“…Seemingly, oolitic cross-bedded grainstones of association B were deposited in higher energy environments, such as barriers (e.g., Martin-Chivelet et al 1995;Alsharhan and Kendall 2003;Coffey and Read 2004). The presence of pelloids within the mud-supported and medium-to-thin-bedded packstones indicates a low-energy lagoonal environment for association C (e.g., Burchette et al 1990;Alsharhan and Kendall 2003;Adachi et al 2004).…”

The Upper Jurassic Mozduran Formation with a thickness of 420 m at the type locality is the most important gas-bearing reservoir in NE Iran. It is mainly composed of limestone, dolostone with shale and gypsum interbeds that grade into coarser siliciclastics in the easternmost part of the basin. Eight stratigraphic sections were studied in detail in south of the Agh-Darband area. These analyses suggest that four carbonate facies associations and three siliciclastic lithofacies were deposited in shallow marine to shoreline environments, respectively. Cementation, compaction, dissolution, micritization, neomorphism, hematitization, dolomitization and fracturing are diagenetic processes that affected these sediments. Stable isotope variations of d 18 O and d 13 C in carbonate rocks show two different trends. High depletion of d 18 O and low variation of d 13 C probably reflect increasing temperatures during burial diagenesis, while the higher depletion in carbon isotope values with low variations in oxygen isotopes are related to fresh water flushing during meteoric diagenesis. Negative values of carbon isotopes may have also resulted from organic matter alteration during penetration of meteoric water. Fe and Mn enrichment with depletion of d 18 O also supports the contention that alteration associated with higher depletion in carbon isotope values with low variations in oxygen isotopes took place during meteoric diagenesis. The presence of bright luminescence indicates redox conditions during precipitation of calcite cement.
