Title | The Jackfork Formation of Arkansas: A Test for the Walker-Mutti-Vail Models for Deep-Sea Fan Deposition |
Author (s) | J.L. Coleman, Jr., Gordon Van Swearingen and Curtis E. Breckon |
Date | 1994 (Prepared for the South-Central Section, GSA's Field Trip March 20-23, 1974) |
General Description |
This 1-day trip examines the functionality of widely used, deep-sea fan models to adequately predict facies succession of a deep-sea fan complex. The Jackfork Formation is used as a type example for testing of this hypothesis. Six stops are described in detail, including DeRoche Ridge Highway 7 roadcut, DeGray Lake exposures (eastern shore), DeGray Dam Intake section, DeGray Spillway, DeGray Dam powerhouse, and Murray quarry, all in Clark County. Individual field-trip site information includes key reference, location, and discussion of pertinent features of each outcrop relating to the various models cited below. Included in the report are:
