Title: Stratigraphic revision and depositional environments of the Upper Cretaceous Toreva Formation in the northern Black Mesa area, Navajo and Apache counties, Arizona

Book ·
OSTI ID:5857078

Two units previously included in the upper part of the Toreva Formation in northern Black Mesa have been assigned new stratigraphic names. One unit previously assigned to the Toreva is reassigned to the Wepo Formation. This report describes the sedimentology of the Toreva Formation and these new units and the depositional history of the Black Mesa area during middle Turonian through early Santonian time. Correlations are made among these units on Black Mesa and Cretaceous sequences in southern Utah and western New Mexico.
