004 The Ross Formation on the north east side of Loop Head photographed by David Pyles over the Atlantic in a hellicopter. The rocks are represented by turbidite sheet sands that accumulated as deepwater fan lobes that were dissected by sparse shallowly incised channels. As Elliot (2000) records these are the thicker bedded, high net-to-gross, sheet turbidites of the lower part of the Ross Sandstone Formation turbidite system. The height of these cliffs is between 45-50 m. Note the shaley partings that may compartmentalize these sands and seperate them in terms of their reservoir quality from those above. Channeling may enhance vertical reservoir continuity between the stacked sheets.
