dc.description.abstract	The purpose of this research is to study in detail the Alderson and Greenville Formations, which have been treated previously only in general studies of the entire Greenbrier Group. The objectives of this thesis are: 1) determine mineralogy and petrology and delineate sedimentary facies; 2) characterize diagenetic effects; 3) interpret depositional environments; 4) correlate outcrop and subsurface data; and 5) construct a depositional model for these formations.	en_US
