... in both the muds and adjacent sandy sediments than the Ambergris-Cangrejo mud shoal complex. With respect to biota, the Bulkhead shoal is characterized by a relative paucity of turtle grass, whereas the opposite is true for the other mud shoal complex. In the former case, mud deposition apparently results...

...Chellie S. Teal; S.J. Mazzullo; William D. Bischoff Abstract Dolomite constitutes an average of 12% of the Holocene organic-rich sediments over a 15 km 2 area of the Cangrejo Shoals mudbank in northern Belize. Although it defines a laterally persistent stratiform body that averages 3 m thick...

...S. J. Mazzullo; William D. Bischoff; C. S. Teal Abstract Calcic dolomite cements compose an average of 5% of the upper 4.3 m of subtidal deposits <5600 yr old in the Cangrejo shoals in Belize. Mean δ 18 O (+2‰) compositions of the high-Sr dolomites (mean October 1900 ppm), together with near...

...Figure 5 Sections across the Cangrejo Shoals mud mound, showing sediment types, radiocarbon ages of mangrove peats and cerithid gravels, depositional style, and stratal geometry of erosional surface-bounded sedimentation units. Numerous NW-SE tidal channels dissecting the shoals are shown...

... ) and on Abu Dhabi sabkhas ( Baltzer et al. 1994 ), respectively, although it is concentrated mainly in some thin crusts rather than throughout these sediments. The 8-m-thick, shallow-marine mudbank deposits at Cangrejo Shoals in Belize (<6 ka) contain an average of 12% dolomite present throughout most...

..., particularly at the Schooner Cays ooid shoal, where skeletal–peloidal and peloid–ooid sands are typically observed at various sand-bar localities, depending on sorting. In contrast, the Al-Wajh platform does not contain sand bars similar to those at Schooner Cays nor does it show evidence for karst similar...

... the continent. Both shoal toward the east, and the eastern sedimentary facies is not affected by the Mochica deforma- tion that deformed the Huarmey-Cañete basin (see below). Hildebrand and Whalen (2014) suggest that the current E-dipping subduction system did not exist before 77 ± 5 Ma, and that the coastal...
