W7764

W7764 is the designation for a specific geological formation. It is located in the western region of the North American continent. The formation is characterized by a distinct layering of sedimentary rocks, primarily composed of sandstone and shale. Radiometric dating of fossilized organic material found within W7764 suggests its age to be approximately 150 million years, placing it within the Late Jurassic epoch. This dating is significant as it provides a window into the paleoenvironment of the region during that period.

The stratigraphy of W7764 indicates a depositional environment consistent with a shallow marine or estuarine setting. Evidence includes the presence of fossilized marine invertebrates and plant remains, suggesting a coastal or deltaic influence. Researchers have studied W7764 extensively to understand the geological processes that shaped this area during the Mesozoic Era. Analysis of the rock composition has also revealed the presence of trace minerals, which are currently being investigated for their potential economic significance. Further research is ongoing to refine the understanding of W7764's depositional history and its broader implications for regional paleogeography.
