0120120FullagarThis award will support Drs. Paul D. Fullagar and Timothy J. Bralower, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in collaboration with Maria Lorente, and Eglee J. Zapata, Universidad Central de Venezuela, for a study to determine the strontium- and carbon-isotope stratigraphy for La Luna Formation, a major source of petroleum in Venezuela. The proposal plans to provide a chemostratigraphy framework (based on strontium and carbon isotopes) that would allow correlation of La Luna Formation sections in Venezuela, and thus a better understanding of its environment of deposition and the accumulation of these organic carbon-rich deposits. This stratigraphy will be an integral part of a nearly completed biostratigraphic-chemostratigraphic age model for the formation. The investigation will enhance our understanding of the processes that control the accumulation of marine Cretaceous organic carbon-rich sediments (CORG) known as "black shales" deposits throughout earth history.

0120120 Fullagar这个奖项将支持博士。查佩尔山的北卡罗来纳州的Fullagar和Timothy J. Bralower，与委内瑞拉中央大学的Maria Lorente和Eglee J. Zapata合作，进行一项研究，以确定委内瑞拉主要石油来源La Luna地层的锶和碳同位素地层学。 该提案计划提供一个化学地层学框架（以锶和碳同位素为基础），使委内瑞拉的La Luna组剖面相互关联，从而更好地了解其沉积环境和这些富含有机碳的矿床的积累。 这一地层学将是一个基本完成的生物地层学-化学地层学年龄模型的组成部分。 这项研究将加强我们对控制海洋白垩纪富含有机碳沉积物（CORG）积累的过程的理解，这些沉积物被称为“黑色页岩”沉积物。
