Title: Stratigraphical Analysis and Environmental Reconstruction

Author(s): Thomas G. Payne (2)

Abstract:

This paper presents a plan for comprehensive study and analysis of a sedimentary deposit, including petrographic and paleontologic description of the fundamental attributes, properties, and structures of the sediment and its life assemblage and the interpretive description of genesis of the deposit. The genetic phase embraces evaluation of the environmental factors, ecologic and geographic, and the dynamic processes and resultants involved in sedimentary petrogenesis. Methods, principles and concepts are illustrated throughout the paper by use of the crinoidal phase (Bed 9) of the Grand Tower limestone of Ste. Genevieve County, southeastern Missouri, as a test case.
