...John Imbrie ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to test the practicality and scientific potential of an analytical technique designed to produce quantitative data on biofacies and lithofacies changes. The unit selected for analysis is the Florena shale member of the Beattie limestone (Wolfcampian...

... of increased interest, Imbrie sought to test what one might do with quantitative facies analysis by undertaking a decade-long study of the Lower Permian Florena Shale (Kansas) using multivariate cluster analysis to characterize different litho- and biofacies. Despite much hard work in the field and with a high...

.... The three members of the Beattie (in ascending order, Cottonwood limestone, Florena shale, Morrill limestone) have been examined in outcrop from Nemaha County, Nebraska to Osage County, Oklahoma and followed in the subsurface westward nearly to Colorado. Regional paleotectonic studies indicate that the line...
