M. Bristol and Ronald Prescott ABSTRACT The Tuscola Anticline, in east-central Illinois, lies astride the complex LaSalle Anticlinal Belt and dips steeply westward into the Fairfield Basin and gradually eastward into the Murdock Syncline. The anticline is broken into two structural highs, the Hayes Dome and the Shaw Dome. Pleistocene sediments, 50 to 250 feet thick, cover the area. Pennsylvanian sediments cover much of the area, thinning to expose an inlier of Mississippian, Devonian, and Silurian rock north of Tuscola. The basal Cambrian for- mation, the Mt. Simon Sandstone, is penetrated by only two wells. Oil production from the Kimmswick (Trenton) com- menced in 1962 from the R. D. Ernest No. 1 Schweighart well, near Hayes, and as of January 1, 1968, approximately 30 wells were producing oil. Cumulative oil production as of January 1, 1968, is approximately 94,000 barrels. The potential pay zone is confined to the upper 5 to 100 feet of structure and to the upper 125 feet of the Kimmswick, whose permeability ranges from 0.1 to 2. millidarcys, av- eraging 0.6, and whose porosity ranges from 2 to 12 per- cent.

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.

Highway 66, one mile southwest of Kirkwood, Missouri. Dur­ ing the construction of the interchange, numerous artificial exposures of rocks of the middle Mississippian Meramecian Series were exposed. This provided an excellent opportunity for examining fresh exposures near the type Meramecian Ser­ ies. The formations of the area were studied, and starti­ graphic sections were prepared from three of the more com­ plete sections that were measured and described. The high­ way cuts expose complete sections of the Warsaw and Salem formations, and the lower part of the St.

  • Bedrock and Unconsolidated Aquifer Systems
    Frank O'Bannon, Governor Department of Natural Resources Resource Assessment 2002-6 Division of Water John Goss, Director Plate 5 Bedrock Aquifer Systems Unconsolidated Aquifer Systems The susceptibility of bedrock aquifer systems to surface contamination is dependant on the nature of the overlying sediments, because Regional estimates of aquifer susceptibility can differ considerably from local reality. Variations within geologic environments can cause the bedrock throughout the basin is overlain by unconsolidated deposits. Just as recharge for bedrock aquifers cannot exceed that of variation in susceptibility to surface contamination. Also, man-made structures such as poorly-constructed water wells, unplugged or overlying unconsolidated deposits, susceptibility to surface contamination will not exceed that of overlying deposits. However, because improperly-abandoned wells, and open excavations, can provide contaminant pathways which bypass the naturally-protective clays. the bedrock aquifer systems have complex fracturing systems, once a contaminant has been introduced into a basin bedrock aquifer system, it will be difficult to track. Ordovician -- Maquoketa group Mississippian -- Buffalo Wallow, Stephensport, and West Baden Groups Tipton Till Plain Aquifer System White River and Tributaries Outwash Aquifer System The Ordovician/Maquoketa Group Aquifer system consists of interbedded shales and limestones. Limestone, which constitutes This aquifer system is laterally discontinuous and has been truncated northward as a result of pre-Pennsylvanian erosion. It is composed The Tipton Till Plain Aquifer system contains intratill sand and gravel lenses that are highly variable in depth and lateral extent and The White River and Tributaries Outwash Aquifer system is comprised primarily of surficial valley train sand and gravel and occupies about 20 percent of the group, is most abundant in the upper part.
