Sedimentology and stratigraphic architecture of a fluvial to shallow-marine succession: The Jurassic Dhruma Formation, Saudi Arabia
TL;DR: The Middle Jurassic Dhruma Formation (MDF) as discussed by the authors is a sedimentary succession in coastal and paralic environments with highly varied styles of facies architecture; these are determined by the morphology and evolutionary behavior of the range of coastal sub-environments, which may be difficult to diagnose in subsurface sedimentary successions with limited well control.
Depositional architecture and sequence stratigraphic framework of the fluvio‐lacustrine Ash Shumaysi Formation, Jeddah‐Makkah Region, Saudi Arabia: Implications for climatic and tectonic changes in a local‐scale sub‐basin
TL;DR: This study interprets the depositional architecture and sequence stratigraphy of the Ash Shumaysi Formation in Saudi Arabia, revealing seven depositional styles and two third-order sequences influenced by tectonic and climatic changes, with implications for local-scale sub-basin evolution.

A modern analog for meandering rivers of the Mina del Carmen Formation (Albian) at Cañadón Seco oilfield, Golfo San Jorge Basin, Patagonia
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a 3D seismic dataset to estimate data of formative river discharge and upstream catchment area for the subsurface example of the Mina del Carmen Formation.

Analysis of the internal architectural elements of tidal-influenced meandering fluvial deposits using well logging and seismic data: The study of the Athabasca Oil Sands, Alberta, Canada
TL;DR: In this paper, a reservoir was dominated by inclined heterolithic stratification (IHS) formed in large point bars of the McMurray Formation, and the authors used high-resolution seismic data and logging data to estimate the IHS.

Architectural-Element Analysis: A New Method of Facies Analysis Applied to Fluvial Deposits
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new method of analysis for fluvial facies, which subdivides fluvic deposits into local suites consisting of one or more of a set of eight basic three-dimensional architectural elements.

A review of the origin and characteristics of recent alluvial sediments
TL;DR: In this paper, the geometrical, textural, structural, and biological characteristics of alluvial sediments are reviewed with respect to their geometrically, texturally, structural and biological properties, which are related to the physiographic occurrence and hydraulic geometry of streams and to the dynamics of flowing water.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of diagnostic features and facies sequences of alluvial/marine systems is presented, and particular effort must be made to extract maximum information from the individual bed characteristics.
