Stratigraphy of the Glen Rose Formation in Big Bend National Park, Texas

Casiano JN. Stratigraphy of the Glen Rose Formation in Big Bend National Park, Texas. Research Permit and Reporting System

During the Early Cretaceous, a broad carbonate platform developed on the northern margin of the ancestral Gulf of Mexico. Although its sedimentary succession has been studied in other areas of Texas, the Lower Cretaceous succession has been overlooked in Big Bend National Park. The aim of this study is to fill this gap in knowledge by describing the Glen Rose Formation in BBNP, analyze its microfacies and constrain its age by utilizing stable isotope chemostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy.
