层序地层学的名词英语解释 0 Glossary ql$Rz8 ?Accommodation. Another term for relative sea-level. Can be thought of as the space in which sediments can fill, defined at its base by the top of the lithosphere and at its top by the ocean surface. lMl+ yy ?18Vn[}] ?Basinward Shift in Facies. When viewed in cross-section, a shifting of all facies towards the center of a basin. Note that this is a lateral shift in facies, such that in vertical succession, a basinward shift in facies is characterized by a shift to shallow facies (and not a vertical shift to more basinward or deeper-water facies).
wPX^P ?t,n2N13 ?Bed. Layer of sedimentary rocks or sediments bounded above and below by bedding surfaces. Bedding surfaces are produced during periods of nondeposition or abrupt changes in depositional conditions, including erosion. Bedding surfaces are synchronous when traced laterally; therefore, beds are time-stratigraphic units. See Campbell, 1967 (Sedimentology 8:7-26) for more information. mMvAA; ?`8r$b/6 ?Bedset. Two or more superposed beds characterized by the same composition, texture, and sedimentary structures. Thus, a bedset forms the record of deposition in an environment characterized by a certain set of depositional processes. In this way, bedsets are what define sedimentary facies. Equivalent to McKee and Weirs coset, as applied to cross-stratification. See Campbell, 1967 (Sedimentology 8:7-26) for more information. 6vWz6 !P ?8A5/jqn qt ?Condensation. Slow net rates of sediment accumulation. Stratigraphic condensation can occur not only through a cessation in the supply of sediment at the site of accumulation, but also in cases where the supply of sediment to a site is balanced by the rate of removal of sediment from that site. Where net sediment accumulation rates are slow, a variety of unusual sedimentologic features may form, including burrowed horizons, accumulations of shells, authigenic minerals (such as phosphate, pyrite, siderite, glauconit
