Controls on facies mosaics of carbonate platforms : a case study from the Oxfordian of the Swiss Jura

Strasser, André ; Védrine, Stéphanie

In: Perspectives in Carbonate Geology: A Tribute to the Career of Robert Nathan Ginsburg, 2009, p. 199–213

Modern shallow-water carbonate systems commonly display a complex pattern of juxtaposed depositional environments with a patchy facies distribution (facies mo saics). On ancient carbonate platforms, the reconstruction of lateral facies distribution is often hampered not only by discontinuous outcrop but also by lack of suffi ciently high time resolution. This case study from the Oxfordian...

Quantification of high-frequency sea-level fluctuations in shallow-water carbonates: an example from the Berriasian–Valanginian (French Jura)

Hillgärtner, Heiko ; Strasser, André

When quantifying sedimentary processes on shallow carbonate platforms, it is important to know the high-frequency accommodation changes through time. Accommodation changes in cyclic successions are often analysed by simply converting cycle thickness to Fischer plots. This approach is not satisfactory, because it does not account for differential compaction, possible erosion, sea-level fall below...
