About The ProductPublished by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Field Trip Guidebooks Series. The second theme focuses on Upper Cretaceous coastal and shallow marine rocks as displayed by exposures in the spectacular Book Cliffs of Utah. The shelf and shoreface sequences seen in these rocks represent some of the classical exposures of such facies in the United States. Due to high rates of sediment yield from the nearby actively uplifting Cretaceous Sevier orogenic belt, the Mesaverde Group in the Book Cliffs is dominated by regressive sequences, punctuated by regionally extensive unconformities.
