9305708 Prave PI will construct an outcrop-based sequence stratigraphic framework for upper member Crystal Spring Formation and Stirling through Wood Canyon formations section of the Proterozoic-Cambrian sequence in the Death Valley region. Goals include: 1) testing conflicting hypotheses with regard to tectonic setting of deposition; 2) correlation to a better-dated succession; 3) attempting to determine if regionally significant bounding surfaces indicate significant hiatuses; and 4) testing paleogeographic consequences of palinspastic reconstructions.

9305708 Prave PI将为死亡谷地区的元古宙-寒武纪层序的上部成员水晶泉组和斯特林至伍德峡谷组剖面构建基于露头的层序地层格架。目标包括：1）检验关于沉积构造背景的相互矛盾的假设; 2）与更好的年代序列的相关性; 3）试图确定区域重要的边界表面是否指示重要的间断; 4）检验古地理重建的后果。
