Sedimentology and facies of a Mississippi River meander belt
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6131418
The meander belt of the Mississippi River in Southeastern Missouri, consists of four facies: river channel, chute, levee, and abandoned channel fill. A depositional model and vertical sequences have been developed from drill cores, vibracores, fathometer surveys, and mapping of these facies. This model and the vertical sequences compare very well to ancient sequences. The vertical sequences observed in cores through the various facies systems have systematic variations and associations that serve as models for meander belt fluvial systems.
