Figure 8
Surface-based model of part of parasequence PS1.6 of the Ferron Sandstone Member (Figure 5C, D), a fluvial-dominated delta lobe. (A) Three-dimensional view of the surface-based model, generated using bounding surfaces that were modified from the outcrop model of Deveugle et al. (2011), superimposed on a digital elevation map of the present day study area, with no vertical exaggeration and orientations of regional depositional dip and strike shown. (B) Plan-view section of model showing curved clinoforms, consistent with the geometry of fluvial-dominated delta lobes. (C) A two-dimensional (2-D) dip section and (D) a 2-D strike section through the model, showing details of the complex internal architecture. Red lines indicate facies boundaries, and blue lines indicate parasequence-bounding flooding surfaces. Black lines represent clinoforms. SMB = stream-mouth-bar; pDF = proximal delta-front; dDF = distal delta-front.
