The purpose of this paper is to give a description of the overall petrology of the Permian Coconino Sandstone that outcrops prominently in Arizona, including the Grand Canyon. The Coconino is often regarded as something like a “type” of the many similar Permian cross-bedded sandstones that occur around the world. It is generally accepted that the Coconino is an eolian sandstone and that its sand grains are well-sorted and well-rounded. However, until now, no detailed petrographic work has ever been published to substantiate these assumptions. We widely sampled the thickness and lateral extent of the formation and then studied hundreds …


Trivial Meet And Join Within The Lattice Of Monotone Triangles, Adam J. Hammett, John Engbers Jan 2014

Trivial Meet And Join Within The Lattice Of Monotone Triangles, Adam J. Hammett, John Engbers

The lattice of monotone triangles (�n, ≼) ordered by entry-wise comparisons is studied. Let τmin denote the unique minimal element in this lattice, and τmax the unique maximum. The number of r-tuples of monotone triangles (τ1...,τr) with minimul infimumτmin (maximul supremum τmax, resp.) is shown to asymptotically approach r|�n|r-1 asn→ ∞. Thus, with high probability this even implies that one of the τi is τmin (τmax, resp.). Higher-order error terms are also discussed.
