Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level
Sedimentary Facies
and
Sea Level Changes
Sedimentary Facies:
• general appearance or aspects
of a rock (composition & texture).
Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level
Sedimentary Facies:
• original environment of
deposition can be determined.
• used to describe vertical and
lateral variations in strata.
Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level
Sedimentary Facies:
• facies transform laterally by
gradual changes in their properties
into different, adjacent facies.
Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level
Two types of facies
1). Lithofacies:
distinguishing characteristics are
. . . lithologic
Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level

Two types of facies
1). Lithofacies: can be degree
of difference

Two types of facies
2). Biofacies:
differences in biological (fossil)
composition.
Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level
Two types of facies
2). Biofacies:
• can have different adjacent
biofacies in the same lithology
• can be sensitive to small
environmental differences

Changes in sea level
Transgression:
• Advance of sea over the land
Regression:
• Retreat of the sea from the land
Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level
Idealized gradation:
• Near shore = coarse sediment
- to -
• Off shore = fine sediment
- yielding to -
• Shelf carbonate deposition

Transgression
• facies shift on-shore
• resulting rock unit (sandstone)
varies in age laterally

• Tectonic subsidence
(sinking)
• Rise in sea level
• Erosion of shore line
Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level
What cause a Transgression?
• Tectonic uplift
• Drop in sea level
• Over supply of sediment
Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level
What cause a Regression?
1. Continental Glaciation
more ice = lower sea level
(max. 200 meter change)
Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level
Eustatic sea level change
(world wide) - causes?
http://www.shiftingbaselines.org/blog/archives/000430.html
1 meter rise

2 meter rise
http://www.shiftingbaselines.org/blog/archives/000430.html
6 meter rise
30 meter rise
100 meter rise
link to: USGS
2. Plate Tectonics
fast spreading rate
= high sea level
slow = low sea level
(affects the shape of ocean basins)
Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level
Eustatic sea level change
(world wide) - causes?
• transgression in one place
while regression in another
• local mountain uplift
or crustal subsidence
• very rapid influx of sediment
or erosion.

  • 1. Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level Sedimentary Facies and Sea Level Changes
  • 2. Sedimentary Facies: • general appearance or aspects of a rock (composition & texture). Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level
  • 3. Sedimentary Facies: • original environment of deposition can be determined. • used to describe vertical and lateral variations in strata. Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level
  • 4. Sedimentary Facies: • facies transform laterally by gradual changes in their properties into different, adjacent facies. Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level
  • 5. Two types of facies 1). Lithofacies: distinguishing characteristics are . . . lithologic Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level
  • 6. Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level sandstone facies shale facies
  • 7. Two types of facies 1). Lithofacies: can be degree of difference Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level limestone sandstone vs. vs. fine grained limestone coarse, well sorted sandstone
  • 8. Two types of facies 2). Biofacies: differences in biological (fossil) composition. Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level
  • 9. Two types of facies 2). Biofacies: • can have different adjacent biofacies in the same lithology • can be sensitive to small environmental differences Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level
  • 10. Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level Foraminifera facies Mississippi Delta
  • 11. Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level Changes in sea level
  • 12. Transgression: • Advance of sea over the land Regression: • Retreat of the sea from the land Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level
  • 13. Idealized gradation: • Near shore = coarse sediment - to - • Off shore = fine sediment - yielding to - • Shelf carbonate deposition Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level
  • 14. Idealized gradation: Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level near shore off shore continent
  • 15. No sea level change: Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level near shore off shore continent http://www.uh.edu/~jbutler/physical/transreg.gif sediment through time
  • 16. Sea level at Time A: Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level “the beach” Sea level change: cross section
  • 17. Sea level at Time B: Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level “the beach”
  • 18. Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level Transgression • facies shift on-shore • resulting rock unit (sandstone) varies in age laterally
  • 19. Shift from Time A to Time B: Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level “the beach” “the beach” Transgression • facies shift on-shore • resulting rock unit (sandstone) varies in age laterally
  • 20. Time A: on the beach (sandstone) Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level Stand in one spot during a transgression:
  • 21. Time B: underwater (finer sediment) Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level Stand in one spot during a transgression:
  • 22. Regression: • facies shift off-shore Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level
  • 23. Regression: • facies shift off-shore Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level “the beach” “the beach” Time A Time B
  • 24. Regression: • in one place, facies become more “onshore” (= coarser) up section Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level Ls Slt Ss fine course
  • 25. • In a vertical column, facies become progressively more "on shore" (coarser) up section. Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level Regression Conglomerate Sandstone Siltstone Limestone erosion
  • 26. • In a vertical column, facies become progressively more "on shore" (coarser) up section. Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level Regression Conglomerate Sandstone Siltstone Limestone erosion “deep” “beach” “land”
  • 27. • In a vertical column, facies become progressively more ”off shore" (finer) up section. Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level Transgression Limestone Siltstone Sandstone Conglomerate erosion
  • 28. • In a vertical column, facies become progressively more ”off shore" (finer) up section. Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level Transgression Limestone Siltstone Sandstone Conglomerate erosion “deep” “beach” “land”
  • 29. • A vertical sequence represents facies that were once laterally continuous Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level Walther’s Law Limestone Siltstone Sandstone vertical sequence
  • 30. • A vertical sequence represents facies that were once laterally continuous Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level Walther’s Law Limestone Siltstone Sandstone vertical sequence Lateral Distribution
  • 31. Ls Sh Ss • A vertical sequence represents facies that were once laterally continuous Walther’s Law
  • 32. Ls Sh Ss “deep” “beach” • A vertical sequence represents facies that were once laterally continuous Walther’s Law
  • 33. • The relative sequence is more important than absolute completeness. Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level Walther’s Law Limestone Sandstone vertical sequence-1 Siltstone vertical sequence-2 unconformity
  • 34. • The relative sequence is more important than absolute completeness. Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level Walther’s Law Limestone Sandstone vertical sequence-1 Siltstone vertical sequence-2 unconformity Transgression Regression “deep” “beach” “land” “intermediate”
  • 35.
  • 36. • Tectonic subsidence (sinking) • Rise in sea level • Erosion of shore line Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level What cause a Transgression?
  • 37. • Tectonic uplift • Drop in sea level • Over supply of sediment Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level What cause a Regression?
  • 38. 1. Continental Glaciation more ice = lower sea level (max. 200 meter change) Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level Eustatic sea level change (world wide) - causes?
  • 44. 2. Plate Tectonics fast spreading rate = high sea level slow = low sea level (affects the shape of ocean basins) Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level Eustatic sea level change (world wide) - causes?
  • 45. • transgression in one place while regression in another • local mountain uplift or crustal subsidence • very rapid influx of sediment or erosion. Sedimentary Facies & Sea Level Local sea level change
