dc.description.abstract | This study investigates the Laramide foreland syn-orogenic sediments preserved
in the Denver Basin, CO and interprets the Late Cretaceous-Eocene tectonic and climate
history of Central Colorado. This thesis is divided into 3 chapters. Chapter I provides an
introduction to the Denver Basin and the Front Range, interpreting the stratigraphy to
provide support and background for the following chapters. Chapter 2 analyses the Late
Paleocene to Eocene fluvial sediments in the Denver Basin and interprets the deposits to
be a large distributive fluvial system or megafan which formed during the Paleocene-Eocene
Thermal Maximum. Chapter 3 uses detrital apatite and zircon fission track
thermochronology to analyze the Front Range and Denver Basin thermal history. | en_US |
