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.

  • 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.

Further reproduction prohibited without permission. DIAGENESIS IN THE ST. PETER SANDSTONE, MICHIGAN BASIN Carl E. Lundgren, Jr., M.S. Western Michigan University, 1991 The petrographic evolution of authigenic minerals in the St. Peter formation consists of: early marine cement, syndepositional dolomite, quartz overgrowth cement, pervasive dolomite replacement of precursor carbonate, dissolution of framework grains and carbonate cements, and late formation of authigenic chlorite and illite. Variations in the diagenetic sequence were templated by variations in primary mineralogy related to depositional facies. Early intergranular carbonate cement, common in shelf facies, precluded early quartz cementation. Subsequent dissolution of dolomite and detrital grains may be temporally and chemically related to the precipitation of authigenic clay in dissolution pores.
