New sedimentological and stratigraphical data on the Permian and Triassic in northeastern Utah, USA

International audience; We present the Permian to Triassic sedimentological evolution in the Vernal area, northeastern Utah, todetermine: (1) the magnitude of the Permian-Triassic (P-T) unconformity, (2) the depositional environmentsabove the unconformity, as well as (3) their evolution in space and time. Within this area, Permian depositsconsists of the Weber Sandstone, which represents aeolian deposits, overlain by the Park City Formation,composed of silty and sandy marine limestones, dolomites and phosphatic shales. In some places, anunconformity is observed at the top of the Weber Sandstone, which is directly overlain by the MoenkopiGroup. This formation is mostly composed of siltstone,…
