Changes In Beach Gravel Lithology Caused By Anthropogenic Activities Along The Southern Coast Of Lake Michigan, Usa, Zoran Kilibarda, Nolan Graves, Melissa Dorton, Richard Dorton
Zoran Kilibarda
The southern coast of Lake Michigan is the most urbanized and most densely populated area in the Great Lakes region. Development of steel mills, harbors, and municipalities in NW Indiana and in NE Illinois in the last century and a half altered the nearshore environment so much that native beach gravel (>8 mm) now exist only in the exhumed paleo-beach remnants from the Nipissing Phase (~4,500 years ago) of Lake Michigan. Native gravel, collected from paleo-beach remnants at Mount Baldy Dune and Beach House Blowout, contain predominantly beach shingle, very platy siltstones (71–78 %), with secondary crystalline pebbles (18 …
Sedimentary Setting Of Adriatic Flysch Formation (Middle Eocene-Middle Miocene), Southeastern Montenegro As Revealed By Turbidite Sequences., Zoran Kilibarda, Damjan Cadjenovic, Jelena Milutin, Novo Radulovic
Sedimentary Setting Of Adriatic Flysch Formation (Middle Eocene-Middle Miocene), Southeastern Montenegro As Revealed By Turbidite Sequences., Zoran Kilibarda, Damjan Cadjenovic, Jelena Milutin, Novo Radulovic
Zoran Kilibarda
A 750 m long outcrop of Middle Eocene-Miocene flysch is exposed in an asymmetrical syncline in Crnjak Cove, south of Bar, Montenegro. Texture, physical sedimentary structures, petrography, and trace fossil studied in these sediments allowed the recognition of turbidite facies that display various members of the Bouma sequence (Ta,b,c,d,e). These are interpreted in order to reconstruct the depositional setting of these gravitational deposits. Predominantly clastic lihologies in this 300 m thick sequence are arranged in seven distinct turbidite facies, which represent three superimposed submarine fans. The oldest fan consists of: 1) basal marl (T1: 0-30 m), which indicate basin to …
Wind Deposition Of Mud Aggregates And Their Role In Development Of Lamellae In The Fair Oaks Dunes, Indiana, Zoran Kilibarda, Erin Argyilan, Joseph Blockland
Wind Deposition Of Mud Aggregates And Their Role In Development Of Lamellae In The Fair Oaks Dunes, Indiana, Zoran Kilibarda, Erin Argyilan, Joseph Blockland
Zoran Kilibarda
Three parabolic dunes from the Fair Oaks Dune field in northern Indiana were excavated, in order to study the properties and genesis of lamellae. Reddish lamellae with sharp upper boundaries and diffuse lower boundaries are intercalated with yellowish sand layers within the upper 3–5 m of each dune. The thicknesses of the lamellae decrease from N2 cm in the east (Winamac dune) to b0.3 cm in the west (Shelby dune). In deeper parts of the dunes lamellae were absent, but straight or slightly convex, clay rich depositional laminae were present. Thin sections of lamellae reveal thatmost of the clays are …
Late Triassic To Late Jurassic Evolution Of The Adriatic Carbonate Platform And Budva Basin, Southern Montenegro, Damjan Cadjenovic, Zoran Kilibarda, Novo Radulovic
Late Triassic To Late Jurassic Evolution Of The Adriatic Carbonate Platform And Budva Basin, Southern Montenegro, Damjan Cadjenovic, Zoran Kilibarda, Novo Radulovic
Zoran Kilibarda
Southeastern Montenegro is the only part of the Adriatic Carbonate Platform (AdCP) that bears record of its evolution from a ramp, through a distally steepened ramp to a platform. In this paper we present the sequence stratigraphy of the Late Triassic to Late Jurassic rocks from this part of Tethys for the first time in the literature.We discovered and described three new facies: hardground and cerebroid oolites of the Livari Supersequence, and black pebble conglomerate of the Tejani Supersequence. The mid-ramp and lower ramp cherty oolite, wackestone and mudstone facies of the Livari Supersequence, as well as Oolite Conglomerate facies …
