Info

How are these related • The association of certain facies near or adjacent to each other are characteristic off distinct depositional environments • Based on observations from modern environments of deposition and parallels to past environments • By understanding these associations (modern), we can generate facies models
<strong>Facies</strong> Models • General summary given to a depositional system • 2-D Vertical successions of sediment that represent facies relationships expected in the geologic record • 3-D Block Diagrams • 4-D Models detailing sedimentary processes (inc. T) • Takeaway Message: For any sedimentary package, you can examine the facies and their relationships to each other, apply a facies model and assign a depositional environment
