摘要

The Arcadia Formation is a mixed carbonate-siliciclastic rock unit that existed as a shallow carbonate ramp to platform environment during the Late Oligocene to Early Miocene Epoch. It can be divided into two distinct, informal sections based on lithological properties: the upper Arcadia Formation and lower Arcadia Formation. The sections are part of a major, third-order sequence that can be further divided into four higher-frequency, lower magnitude sequences: ARS1, ARS2, ARS3, and ARS4. The sequence boundary separating ARS2 and ARS3 represents a drastic change in the depositional regime from a high-energy, inner ramp/platform to a lower-energy, deep outer ramp environment. ARS3 represents the period of maximum flooding and constitutes a major portion of the regressive system tract (RST) of the third order depositional sequence. In certain sections, the Arcadia Formation is heavily bioturbated including ichnotaxa from the glossifungites, cruziana, and scolithos inchofacies. Thalassinoides sp. burrows of the glossifungites ichnofacies were found to be commonly associated with firmground substrates and breaks in sedimentation. The lithofacies associations were grouped into paleodepositional environments that ranged from restricted marine to deep outer ramp with lithology ranging from grainstone to wackestone to mudstone with variable amounts of siliciclastic and phosphatic constituents. Each sequence boundary extends regionally south from Broward County to southern Miami-Dade County utilizing gamma-ray geophysical signatures unique to each sequence.
