Title: Sedimentologic analysis of cores from the upper Triassic Chinle formation and the lower permian cutler formation, Lisbon Valley, Utah. (Chapter E)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:80641

Five uranium exploration cores from Lisbon Valley in the Paradox Basin of southeastern Utah provide examples of sedimentary structures and lithofacies from the Lower Permian Cutler Formation and the overlying Moss Back Member of the Upper Triassic Chinle Formation. These five cores record eolian and fluvial sedimentary structures and lithofacies sequences not well preserved in outcrops, they provide the basis for interpretation and comparison of depositional environments from lithofacies analysis in core and outcrop studies, and they establish the sedimentologic background for future petrographic and geochemical research on cores and outcrops from the Lisbon Valley area.
