Facies Associations

In this study, data obtained from the Lower Cretaceous McMurray Formation in the central Athabasca Oil Sands, northeastern Alberta, Canada, are examined and used to establish the architecture of stacked fluvial and estuarine tidal bar deposits. A total of 13 distinguishable facies (F1–F7, F8a–F8b, and F9–F13) corresponding to stacked fluvial and estuarine deposits are recognized. These facies are then reassembled into four facies associations: fluvial deposits, tidal flat, tidal bar complex, and tidal bar cap. Of these, the lower fluvial deposits show a highly eroded channel lag and tidal influences in the cross-stratified sand and wavy interbeds. The fluvial deposits pass upwards into upper tidal-dominated tidal flats and a massive homogeneous tidal sand bar complex. Very thick tidal-influenced facies (F8a–F8b, up to 22 m) caused by semi-diurnal and semi-lunar cycles are also observed in tidal flats. Based on studies of the facies and facies associations, a three-dimensional (3-D) architecture model is finally established and used to analyze the internal distribution of the stacked fluvial and estuarine deposits. This is the first time that a 3-D model of the paleo-estuary tidal bar has been constructed. The results of this study will assist future research analyzing the architecture of stacked fluvial and estuarine deposits.

Deformation Patterns

Modern polishing, precision machining and microindentation techniques allow the processing and mechanical characterization of ceramics at nanometric scales and within entirely plastic deformation regimes. The mechanical response of most ceramics to such highly constrained contact is not predictable from macroscopic properties and the microstructural deformation patterns have proven difficult to characterize by the application of any individual technique. In this study, TEM techniques of contrast analysis and CBED are combined with stereographic analysis to construct a three-dimensional microstructure deformation map of the surface of a perfectly plastic microindentation on macroscopically brittle aluminum nitride.The bright field image in Figure 1 shows a lg Vickers microindentation contained within a single AlN grain far from any boundaries. High densities of dislocations are evident, particularly near facet edges but are not individually resolvable. The prominent bend contours also indicate the severity of plastic deformation. Figure 2 is a selected area diffraction pattern covering the entire indentation area.
