STATE OF ILLINOIS c a WILLIAM G. STRATTON, Governor DEPARTMENT OF REGISTRATION AND EDUCATION VERA M. BINKS, Director PETROGRAPHY AND ORIGIN OF ILLINOIS NODULAR CHERTS Donald L. Biggs DIVISION OF THE ILLINOIS STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY JOHN C. FRYE, Chief URBANA CIRCULAR 245 1957 ILLINOIS GEOLOGICAL SURVEY LIBRARY JAN 9 1958 ILLINOIS STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 3 3051 00004 4572 PETROGRAPHY AND ORIGIN OF ILLINOIS NODULAR CHERTS Donald L. Biggs ABSTRACT Seventy-eight samples of nodular chert from 18 Illinois lime- stone and dolomite formations, ranging from Cambrian through Mississippian age, were investigated todetermine the petrography and mode of origin of the nodules. Regardless of geologic age or type of host rock, the nodules were similar in mode of occurrence and in principal textural characteristics. The cherts are dominantly microcrystalline or cryptocrys- talline quartz with a lesser amount of fibrous quartz. No opal or hydrated silica was detected. Almost all the cherts contain re- sidual masses of their host rock. Field relationships and a varie- ty of evidence for replacement leads to the conclusion that the cherts are epigenetic concretions formed by metasomatic proc- esses operating during diagenesis and involving the aggregation of silica that originally had been deposited syngenetically with, and dispersed through, the host rocks. INTRODUCTION Chert is found in many limestones that crop out in Illinois and range in age from Cambrian to Mississippian. The chert may appear as nodules, len- ses, or beds, and some Devonian rocks in extreme southern Illinois are entire- ly chert.

  • Columnals (PDF)
    2248 22482 2 4 V. INDEX OF COLUMNALS 8 Remarks: In this section the stratigraphic range given under the genus is the compiled range of all named species based solely on columnals assigned to the genus. It should be noted that this range may and often differs considerably from the range given under the same genus in Section I, because that range is based on species identified on cups or crowns. All other abbreviations and format follow that of Section I. Generic names followed by the type species are based on columnals. Genera, not followed by the type species, are based on cups and crowns as given in Section I. There are a number of unlisted columnal taxa from the literature that are indexed as genera recognized on cups and crowns. Bassler and Moodey (1943) did not index columnal taxa that were not new names or identified genera with the species unnamed. I have included some of the omissions of Bassler and Moodey, but have not made a search of the extensive literature specifically for the omitted citations because of time constraints. Many of these unlisted taxa are illustrated in the early state surveys of the eastern and central United States. Many of the columnal species assigned to genera based on cups or crowns are incorrect assignments. An uncertain, but significant, number of the columnal genera are synonyms of other columnal genera as they are based on different parts of the stem of a single taxon. Also a number of the columnal genera are synonyms of genera based on cups and crowns as they come from more distal parts of the stem not currently known to be associated with the cup or crown.

  • Deep Oil Possibilities of the Illinois Basin
    s Ccc 36? STATE OF ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF REGISTRATION AND EDUCATION DEEP OIL POSSIBILITIES OF THE ILLINOIS BASIN Alfred H. Bell Elwood Atherton T. C. Buschbach David H. Swann ILLINOIS STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY John C. Frye, Chief URBANA CIRCULAR 368 1964 . DEEP OIL POSSIBILITIES OF THE ILLINOIS BASIN Alfred H. Bell, Elwood Atherton, T. C. Buschbach, and David H. Swann ABSTRACT The Middle Ordovician and younger rocks of the Illinois Basin, which have yielded 3 billion barrels of oil, are underlain by a larger volume of virtually untested Lower Ordovician and Cambrian rocks. Within the region that has supplied 99 percent of the oil, where the top of the Middle Ordovician (Trenton) is more than 1,000 feet be- low sea level, less than 8 inches of hole have been drilled per cubic mile of the older rocks. Even this drilling has been near the edges; and in the central area, which has yielded five- sixths of the oil, only one inch of test hole has been drilled per cubic mile of Lower Ordovician and Cambrian. Yet drilling depths are not excessive, ranging from 6,000 to 14,000 feet to the Precambrian. More production may be found in the Middle Ordovician Galena Limestone (Trenton), thus extending the present productive regions. In addition, new production may be found in narrow, dolomitized fracture zones in the tight limestone facies on the north flank of the basin . The underlying Platteville Limestone is finer grained and offers fewer possibilities. The Joachim Dolomite oil- shows occur in tight sandstone bodies that should have commercial porosity in some re- gions.

Jacobs, compiler ABSTRACT St. Clair County lies in southwestern Illinois across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, Missouri . One-fifth of the total land surface of 673 square miles is on flood­ plains of the Mississippi and Kaskaskia Rivers and Silver Creek. The floodplains are underlain by as much as 120 feet of gravel, sand, silt, and clay. The remaining fo ur­ fifths of the land surface is on uplands that contain flat or dissected plains, low ridges and mound-shaped hills, about 20 square miles of strip mines , and an area of karst topog­ raphy. The uplands are underlain by as much as 75 feet of till and sand and gravel, and generally 12 to 3 0 feet of loess and related silt; however, near the Mississippi River bluffs there are more than 100 feet of loes s and related silt. These deposits have been redistributed into spoil piles in the strip mines. Ben<ilath these deposits or cropping out in places are gently sloping beds of limestone, shale, sand­ stone, siltstone, clay stone, and coal. Thinly layered, frac­ tured limestone underlies the area of karst topography. Mineral and water resources are abundant in the county . Limestone of the St.

LUGN2 liincoln, Nebraska ABSTRACT Sioux quartzite, granite, and schistose metamorphic rocks have been recognized in the pre-Cambrian. The present irregularities, the "basins and highs," on the pre- Cambrian surface are the result of erosion and a long structural history. In general succeedingly younger rocks rest unconformably by overlap against the pre-Cambrian "highs." The principal erosional and structural "highs" are: the "Nemaha moun­ tains," the Cambridge anticline, the Chadron dome, and the Sioux Falls area. "Basins," or saddle-like depressions, occur on the pre-Cambrian surface between the "highs." The largest of these trends from southeast to northwest across the central part of Nebraska. The history of each ridge or "high" is more or less individualistic, but it seems certain that the structural framework of Nebraska came into existence in late pre-Cambrian time and has dominated the structural and depositional history of the state ever since.

The Rock River basin is one of the areas identified for such projects. This report briefly characterizes the water resources of the basin and provides other relevant information. The Rock River originates in the Horicon Marsh in Dodge County, Wisconsin, and flows in a generally southerly direction until it enters Illinois just south of Beloit. Then it flows in a southwesterly direction until it joins the Mississippi River at Rock Island. The river flows for about 163 miles in Illinois, and its total length from head to mouth is about 318 miles.
