캐나다 오일샌드는 사우디아라비아의 원유 부존량과 맞먹을 만큼 방대한 매장량을 자랑하고 있는 대표적인 비재래 원유이다. 오일샌드 저류층을 구성하는 퇴적층은 조수우세 퇴적환경에서 형성된 수로충진층으로 구성되어 있다. 조수퇴적층은 외부에서 작용하는 에너지의 상호작용 결과 공간적으로 복잡하고 불균질한 물성을 가지는 것이 특징적이다. 오일샌드의 성공적인 개발을 위해서는 저류층내 물성의 공간적인 분포에 대한 심도있는 이해를 기반으로 하는 공법이 적용되어야 한다. 오일샌드 저류층의 특성화를 위해 사용되는 지질모델은 고기와 현생의 유사퇴적환경에 대한 비교연구를 기반으로 구축되며, 특히 현생 유사퇴적환경 연구는 저류층의 형성과정과 저류층 물성의 불균질성을 제어하는 외부 기구에 대한 정보를 제공하므로 정교한 지질모델 구축에 필수적인 요소로 인식되고 있다. 한국 서해안 조수우세퇴적환경은 캐나다 오일샌드 저류층이 형성된 퇴적환경과 유사한 것으로 판단되며, 이암파편층 분포, 퇴적상 및 층서 아키텍쳐 등과 같은 오일샌드 저류층 특성화에 필수적인 개념의 정립에 중요한 단서를 제공하는 것으로 평가받고 있어 그 중요성이 최근 큰 주목을 받고 있다.

Detailed investigations on both submarine and subaerial volcaniclastic deposits around Dokdo were carried out to identify geomorphologic characteristics, stratigraphy, and associated depositional processes of Dokdo caldera. Dokdo volcano has a gently sloping summit (about 11km in diameter) and relatively steep slope (basal diameter is about 20-25 km) rising above sea level at about 2,270m. We found ragged, elliptical-form of Dokdo caldera with a diameter of about 2km estimated by Chirp (3-11 kHz) sub-bottom profile data and side scan sonar data for the central summit area of Dokdo volcano. We interpreted that the volcaniclastic deposits of Dokdo unconformably consist of the Seodo (west islet) and the Dongdo(east islet) formations based on internal structure, constituent mineral composition, and bedding morphology. The Seodo Formation mainly consisted of massive or inversely graded trachytic breccias (Unit S-I), overlain by fine-grained tuff (Unit S-II), which is probably supplied by mass-wasting processes resulting from Dokdo caldera collapse. The Dongdo Formation consists of alternated units of stratified lapilli tuff and inversely graded basaltic breccia (Unit D-I, Unit D-III, and Unit D-V), and massive to undulatory-bedded basaltic tuff breccias (Unit D-II and Unit D-IV) formed by a repetitive pyroclastic surge and reworking processes. Although, two islets of Dokdo are geographically near each other, they have different formations reflecting their different depositional processes and eruptive stages.

Mineralogical and geochemical studies of shales within the Lower Anambra Basin was conducted to unravel the depositional environment, provenance, maturity, paleo-weathering conditions, and tectonic settings. Mineralogical studies conducted using X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the samples were composed of kaolinite, montmorillonite, chlorite, and illite. KaolinIite is the dominant mineral, constituting approximately 41.5% of the bulk composition, whereas the non-clay minerals are quartz, ilmenite, and sillimanite. Geochemical analysis showed a predominance of SiO₂, Al₂O₃, and Fe₂O₃ contents of the shale samples with mean values of 52.29%, 14.09%, and 6.15% for Imo Shale (IS); 52.31%, 16.70%, and 7.39% for Mamu Shale (MS); 43.21%, 21.33%, and 10.36% for Enugu Shale (ES); 53.35%, 15.64%, and 7.17% for Nkporo Shale (NS); and 51.24%, 17.25%, and 7.78% for Agwu Shale (AS). However, the shales were depleted in Na₂O, MgO, K₂O, MnO, TiO₂, CaO, and P₂O₅. The trace element ratios of Ni/Co and Cu/Zn of the shale suggest an oxic depositional environment. The average SiO₂ vs. Al₂O₃ ratio of the shales indicated textural maturity. Compared to the PAAS standard, the shales plot below the PAAS value of 0.85, suggesting a high degree of maturity and intensive chemical weathering, further confirmed on a CIA vs. PIA plot. On log (K₂O/Na₂O) against SiO₂ and tectonic setting discriminant function diagrams, the shales plot mostly in the field of passive continental margin tectonic setting. The discriminant function diagrams as well as Al₂O₃/TiO₂ ratio of the shales showed that they were derived from a mixed source (mafic and intermediate igneous rocks).

This report deals with the sedimentological study of the littoral sand of beaches in the Busan area. The purpose of this report is to know the grain size, mineralogical composition, heavy mineral and clay mineral of the beach sands, and gravity measurements of the Nagdong River Deltas. 1) As a whole, the littoral sand of the beaches are composed of uniformly medium grained, moderately sorted and nearly symmetrical. The barrier sand of the Nagdong Estuary is composed of fine grained, well sorted and nearly symmetrical. 2) The littoral sand of the beaches is transported by saltation and rolling. The barrier sand of the Nagdong Estuary is transported by suspension and saltation. 3) In the littoral sand of the beaches, the ratio of feldspar to quartz is 1 :2.31 and in the barrier sand of the Nagdong Estuary 1:1.40. 4) The content of heavy mineral of samples ranges from 0.54 to 3.87 %. The principal heavy minerals are hornblende, pyroxene, epidote, garnet, leucoxene, zircon, apatite, magnetite, hematite and ilmenite with minor accessories of rutile and olivine. 5) The x-ray diffraction analysis of the clay mineral informs the existence of quartz, feldspar, kaolinite and montmorillonite. The montmorillonite is considered to have been derived from the alteration of acidic volcanic rocks. 6) To determine the depositional structure of the Nagdong Estuary, Gravity measurements were made. Free air anomaly ranges from 14.5 mgal to 33.5 mgal and Bouguer anomaly ranges from 14.3 to 23.5 mgal and both are closely related to the topography. According to the interpreted layer structure, the upper layer composing sand, silt and clay, the intermediate layer composing sand with gravel, the lower layer composing weathered and soft rock, and bed rock composing hornfels or andesite. 7) The depositional environments of the study, the littoral area is dominated by the marine environment and the Nagdong Estuary by the mixed environment.

This study has been made for the enlargement of a previous work of 1964 which was carried out by an author of this work emphasizing the stratigraphy, micropaleontology, depositional environment, and structural tectonics of the studied area. The stratigraphic sequences of the area are groupped into four units: (1) basement of Pre-Cretaceous, (2) lower sediments of Late Cretaceous, (3) upper sediments of Late Cretaceous and (4) igneous rocks of Late Cretaceous and Tertiary (?). The oldest rocks consisting of schists and gneisses of Pre-Cambrian and schistose granite' of Jurassic age are exposed at the base of this area on which the thick Cretaceous sediments were deposited. These old rocks are unconformably overlain by the lower sedimens of Late Cretaceous composed of three members, an alternation of black shale and tuffaceous sediments, fine tuff and rhyollite flow in ascending order. The oily material was found from the black shales of the alternation m"ember as semi-solid greaselike material, oily order and microscopic granular spherical material and oily stain. The lower sediments are also overlain, in low-angleunconfromity, by the 'upper sediments having three members, an alternation of volcanic conglomerate and andesitic tuff, rhyollitic tuff and andesite flow in the same order. The igneous suit of diabase, diorites, biotite granite, porphyritic granite and porphyries of the latest Cretaceous and small exposure of pitchstone of Tertiary (?) intruded into the pre-existed rocks above mentioned. Considerable amount of ostra- coda microfossils have been chemically extracted from the black shales of the lower sediments and the identification of the fossils suggests that the depositional environment of the sediments were under fresh or brackish water condition. The distribution of the geology and its tectonic data also suggest a combination of dome and basin structures in the area of San-i peninsula and Jin-do as shown in fig. 8. Between these two units an anticlinal structure was constructed. As a result of this study, a seismic survey in a district between U-su-yong and north coast of Jin-do is recommended to determine the underground features.

The depositional environment of the Manhang and the Geumcheon Formation of the Pennsylvanian Gomog Croup is revealed to the shallow neritic marine milieu in this paper also as the results of Park (1963), Cheong(1975) and Kim (1976), through the analyses of stratigraphy, paleocurrent, properties of cross-beddings and sedimentational features. The formations contains some possible terrestrial sediments suggesting the paralic environment, which are however not recognized definitely within them. The paleocurrent analysis is made to the Manhang Formation only. The paleocurrent of the formation is known to belong to the shallow neritic longshore current. The paleocurrent analysis is based chiefly on the cross-bedding analysis, and subordinately on the texture of elastic coarse sediments. The paleocurrent mean is determined to $269^{\circ}$, that is, from east to west, of which direction is interpreted to the right angle to the slope of the basinal depository plane and also the parallel with die depositional strike, according to Klein (1960) and Selley's (1968) criteria. The variance value of paleocurrent directions of the Manhang Formation in the whole area studied is 6,374, and the values range from 3,394 to 6,957 according to the dirstricts. The paleocurreut pattern of the whole area shows polymodel, and the patterns in each district range from trimodel to quadrimodel. Those models approach to the shallow marine or paralic model of Tohill and Picard (1966), Picard and High (1968 a), Pisnak (1957) and Pettijohn (1962). The mean value of maximum inclinations of cross-beddings of the whole area is $19.9^{\circ}$ with the standard deviation of 8.4, and ranges from $15.6^{\circ}$ to $21.7^{\circ}$ in the districts. Comparing the histogram showing the frequency distribution of the maximum inclinations of cross-beddings of the Manhang Formation with the Pettijohn's (1962) histogram, it is found that the model approaches to his marine model. The Pennsylvanian Gomog Group of the coalfield is considered to have had been deposited in the pseudogeosynclinal zone on the plateau by the transgression of the Tethyan sea caused by the epirogenic movements during the Pennsylvanian Period.

경상분지 하양층군의 퇴적시기와 기원지 변화를 밝히기 위해 청송 세계지질공원의 지질명소인 백석탄(일직층), 만안자암(점곡층), 신성리(사곡층) 지역에서 쇄설성 저어콘에 대한 U-Pb 연령측정을 실시하였다. 일직층에서는 백악기 저어콘이 발견되지 않고 쥐라기와 트라이아스기의 저어콘이 대부분이며, 선캄브리아 시대의 저어콘은 드물게 산출된다. 반면 점곡층과 사곡층은 백악기와 쥐라기, 고원생대의 저어콘이 우세하며 유사한 연령분포를 보인다. 점곡층과 사곡층의 백악기 저어콘에서 각각 103.2±0.3 Ma와 104.2±0.5 Ma의 가장 젊은 가중평균연령을 구했다. 연구결과에 의하면 점곡층 및 사곡층의 퇴적시기는 앨비안에 해당된다. 쇄설성 저어콘의 연령분포는 일직층과 점곡층 사이에 기원지의 중요한 변화가 있었음을 지시한다. 일직층은 주로 주변의 관입암체에서 퇴적물이 공급된 것으로 보이지만, 점곡층과 사곡층은 일본 남서부의 쥐라기 부가대의 비교적 젊은 퇴적단위로부터 기원한 것으로 해석된다.
