Introduction to Sequence Stratigraphy of Carbonates Sections - Miocene Carbonates of Mallorca, Spain: the first steps in the use of measured sections to build sequences stratigraphic models of carbonate platform and reef depositional systems, using measure sections from the sea cliffs lining the south eastern shore of Mallorca. Exercise 1 - Measured Sections at Cap Blanc- Cliffs of Late Miocene Reef Complex: introduction to carbonate cycle identification on the basis of the carbonate lithofacies within outcrops of the Llucmajor reef. Identification of a vertical set of parasequences and cycles within a measured section. Exercise 2 - Measured Sections at Cap Blanc- Cliffs of Late Miocene Reef Complex: two to three measured sections are correlated using a combination of predicted trajectories of parasequence stacking patterns in the Llucmajor reef, changes in carbonate facies, and major tied from section to section. Exercise 3 - Measured Sections and Wells in the Llucmajor Late Miocene Reef Complex: correlation of wells and measured sections in the Llucmajor using predicted reef trajectories to construct a regional sequence stratigraphic interpretation of facies geometries that involve lithofacies, major surfaces, and parasequences that tie them together.

Outcrop Sequence Stratigraphy - Clastics
Introduction to Sequence Stratigraphy of Clastic Sections - Book Cliffs, Utah: the first steps in the use of measured sections to build sequences stratigraphic models of clastic shoreline depositional systems, using measure sections from the Book Cliffs in Utah. Exercise 1 - Measured Section at Kennilworth - Book Cliffs, Utah: introduction to parasequence identification on the basis of the lithologies within outcrops. One section is considered and used to identify a vertical set of parasequences within a measured section. Exercise 2 - Measured Sections at Panther, Kennilworth & Coal Canyons - Book Cliffs, Utah: three measured sections are correlated using a combination of changes in grain size and depositionals facies to identify the major and parasequence stacking patterns that are tied from section to section. Exercise 3 - Measured Sections from Gilson Gulch to Coal Canyon - Book Cliffs, Utah: correlation of twelve measured sections in the Book Cliffs and construction of a regional sequence stratigraphic interpretation of facies geometries using lithofacies, major surfaces, and parasequences to tie these together.
