Creator:: Allen, David William
Abstract:: The processes responsible for transporting and depositing thick sections of coarse-grained terrigenous clastics on the abyssal floor and for forming associated sedimentary structures are still conjectural. Many workers attribute coarse deep-sea sediments and their probable lithified equivalent, the graywackes of flysch deposits to some type of density movement. Deductions concerning...

Creator:: Chambers, David Marshall
Abstract:: Changes in sea level during the past 20,000 years are recorded in sediments taken from the continental shelf off the Rogue River, Oregon. Sea level has risen approximately 125 m. during the Holocene (Curray, 1965) and the general transgression has been interrupted by several stillstands and minor regressions. Box core...

Creator:: Roush, Robert Cornelius
Abstract:: A study of sedimentary structures and sediment texture of beach and continental shelf sediments provides a basis for the interpretation of the recent history of sedimentation on the Oregon continental shelf. The texture of various sediment types suggests that coastal rivers supply a considerable quantity of very fine sand in...

Creator:: Peterson, Robert E.
Abstract:: An analysis of the amounts of calcium carbonate, organic carbon, quartz, and the rates of sediment accumulation in hemipelagic sediments off Oregon has revealed that the accumulation rates of the total sediment, organic carbon, and quartz were at least twice as high in the late Pleistocene as they were during...
