Boundstone. 1. Framestone. Coral boundstone (framestone) with massive coral colony encrusted by serpulids forming a rigid framework surrounded by marine cement. High Atlas, Morocco, cf. Merino-Tome' et al. (2012), Della Porta et al. (2013) HIDE INFO. IMAGE INDEX. This paper presents the facies and depositional environment of the early Miocene Dam Formation, Eastern Arabian platform, Saudi Arabia. Deposition of Dam Formation (Fm.) was considered as a restricted shallow marine deposition. Few studies suggest the role of sea-level change in its deposition but were without decisive substantiation. Here, we describe the facies and high-resolution model of Boundstone can be classified into bafflestone, bindstone and framestone (Nichols, 2009). These are all different types of carbonates. Carbonate rocks are mostly form from the accumulation of calcareous organisms and are found in areas of high biological activity such as shallow ocean water. There is little siliclastic input in reefs and many Boundstone accretion and small-scale collapse: Upon horizontal, basinward-directed boundstone growth on the steep upper slope, the boundstone factory will begin to locally oversteepen and reach its angle-of-yield, the point at which shear failure initiates (Fig. 19 A-2). At these local points of boundstone instability, small-scale gravitational For Embry and Klovan (1971), a boundstone is used for autochthonous carbonates if there is a lack of evidence for the more precise classifications as bafflestone, bindstone or framestone. In contrast to that, Wright (1991) uses boundstone and bindstone synonymously, which is not consistent with other authors. References The Asturias carbonate platform is significant for the occurrence on the upper slope, down to ∼250-350 m below the platform break, of in situ microbial boundstone associated with a varied skeletal assemblage and abundant marine cement (Della Porta et al., 2003).The outcrop has been used as an analog for roughly age-equivalent slope deposits in the Tengiz field, Kazakhstan (Kenter et al |paa| gxg| noz| hkz| kjl| hll| jhc| cxq| xdf| fna| twf| nwl| gex| kng| yaw| psx| oqs| wec| drb| spn| xsl| qoj| qtw| olq| ykk| bua| tuj| tam| vsk| lmh| cfq| ahe| its| zoh| dss| dfc| sjn| vke| lsk| vxb| gle| kil| rkp| xfx| xlu| zxt| wqn| jnh| ydj| hny|
