Figure 23. Examples of power spectra of sediment fabrics from the Lockatong Formation of the Newark<br />

basin. Fabrics are ranked from 0, a massive fabric deposited in the shallowest, most ephemeral water, to<br />

6, a microlaminated fabric (Olsen, 1986,1980b) deposited in the deepest lakes. Time is calibrated by the<br />

microlaminated beds, which are assumed to be varved. A. Measured section at Gwynedd,<br />

Pennsylvania, with the rank curve shown to its right. Gray areas represent red beds. B. Single Van<br />

Houten cycle from Gwynedd section. 17. T.O.C. stands for total organic carbon content. C. Power<br />

spectrum in time for entire Gwynedd section showing main periods of cycles; assumed sedimentation<br />

rate 0.24 mm/yr. D. Superimposed power spectra from four different nonoverlapping Lockatong<br />

Formation sections.
