unusual facts about facies



Aarbergen

Oligocene shingle (Vallendar facies) overlies the older surface near Kettenbach and Hausen über Aar.

Barkly West

Canteen Kopje is the site of early diamond diggings which also exposed a major archaeological occurrence of stratified Acheulean facies, subject to a current collaborative research venture by the University of Southampton, the University of the Witwatersrand and the McGregor Museum in Kimberley.

Peninsular Gneiss

In this case, data of U–Pb SHRIMP of Zircons from amphibolite facies gneisses from Kobaladurga and Kober single zircon evaporation ages of grey gneisses have been considered

Scutellosaurus

The type specimen of Scutellosaurus NMAP1.175 was recovered at the West Moenkopi Plateau locality in the Silty Facies Member of the Kayenta Formation, in Coconino County, Arizona.

Trans-Hudson orogeny

crustal thickening occurred that was associated with accretion of an intra-oceanic arc terrane and subsequent regional metamorphic activity characterized by the growth of retrograde, upper amphibolite-facies assemblages that define a clockwise, decompressive P–T path (pressure-temperature) path.
