Abstract
The meander belt of the Mississippi River, in southeastern Missouri, consists of four distinct facies groups: (1) river channel/point bar, (2) chute, (3) crevasse splay/levee, and (4) abandoned channel fill. A depositional model and vertical sequences have been developed from drill cores, vibra-cores, trenches, fathometer surveys, and mapping of these principal facies. This model and he vertical sequences compare very well to ancient sequences because the Mississippi River is a large, significant river with ancient analogs.
