Thrusting Sequence in Central Utah Foreland From Deformationof Syntectonic Basin - Margin Conglomerates

这项研究将结合地层和构造绘图以及孢粉学分析，以获得犹他州中部塞维尔造山带各个逆冲断层的详细运动历史。 塞维尔逆冲的开始时间目前不受限制。 砾岩沉积物因逆冲作用而发生同沉积变形，这些砾岩可以横向追溯到含有花粉的细粒沉积岩。 这样就可以得到推力开始的时间。 这项研究的结果将提高我们对塞维尔造山带以及其他构造环境中冲断带发育早期阶段的了解。

This study will combine stratigraphic and structural mapping and palynological analyses to obtain the detailed movement history of individual thrusts in the Sevier orogenic belt of central Utah. Timing of the inception of the Sevier thrusts is presently unconstrained. Conglomeratic sediments were deformed syndespostionally by thrusts, and these conglomeratic rocks can be traced laterally into pollen-bearing fine-grained sedimentary rocks. Thus the timing of thrust inception can be obtained. The results of this study will improve our understanding of the early stages of thrust belt development in the Sevier orogen, and also in other tectonic environments.
