Samples were examined using transmitted light and cathodoluminescence (CL) petrography, fluid inclusion analysis, and Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) analysis of 180/160 ratios and trace element compositions. Preliminary investigation of in situ .laser ablation 40Ar-39Ar age dating techniques on authigenic K-feldspar overgrowths was also completed. Two major generations of quartz overgrowths are observed, on the basis of transmitted light and CL petrography and fluidinclusion studies. High-resolution ( 100 JJ.m x 100 JJ.m), gray-scale images of CL in authigenic quartz overgrowths were acquired using the electron microprobe. Generation 1 quartz overgrowths have low intensity, medium- to dark- gray CL and are associated with fluidinclusion homogenization temperatures (Th) of60 - 95 °C. Generation 2 quartz overgrowths have light-gray CL and are related to fluidinclusion Th of 100 - 145 °C. Th decreases from the southern part of the basin towards the north. Burial temperatures estimated by stratigraphic reconstructionand thermalhistory modeling did not exceed 60 - 90 °C, thus, passage of at least two generations of basinal fluid flow, at temperatures similar to or slightly elevated relative to burial temperature (Th = 60 - 145 °C) through the Mount Simon Sandstone are indicated. Salinities of these Na-Ca-K-Mg-Cl-H20 fluids vary fr om 18 wt% to 25 wt% NaCl equivalent, suggesting that both diagenetic fluids were highly saline basinal brines. Ion-microprobe oxygen isotope analyses of authigenic K-feldspar and quartz reveal a south-to-north-increasing trend in o180 values. Average K-feldspar o180 (V- lV SMOW) values increase systematically from+ 14 ± 1 %o in the southernmostand deepest borehole samples from Illinois to +24 ± 2o/oo inthe northernmost outcrop samples in Wisconsin. A similar south-to-north trend was observed for quartz overgrowths (22 ± 2o/oo to 28 ± 2o/oo). Within-sample 8180 variations of up to 9o/oo are much greater than analytical precision of the ion probe. This may be, in part, the result of sampling diffe rent generations of cements, as supported by CL and fluid inclusion studies in quartz. CL zones within quartz overgrowths were analyzed to evaluate 8180 values in different generations of quartz cements. Generation 1 quartz cements have 8180 values that are equal to (within analytical precision) or greater than (up to 6.8o/oodif ference) generation 2 quartz cements. Overall, however, generation 1 cements are isotopically­ enrichedrelative to generation 2 cements. Constraints on fluid compositions using fluid­ inclusion temperatures that were point-matched to 8180 values of quartz overgrowths containing these fluid inclusions reveal two distinct diagenetic fluids, correspondingto generation 1 (T < 95 °C) and generation 2 (T > 95 °C) fluids. The 8180 values of generation 1 fluidare about -5%o inthe southernportion of the basin and increase to­ O%o in the northernpart of the basin; 8180 values of generation 2 fluid increases from­ +2o/oo inthe south to - +7o/oo in the north. For the generation 1 diagenetic event (T < 95 °C), fluidtemperatures are consistent with burial temperatures in the deeper part of the southernbasin, where the fluidmay have originated. Fluid temperatures in the northern part of the basin are lower than in the southernbasin, but still higher than burial temperatures. v Ion-microprobe studies of authigenic K-feldspar and quartz reveal that Rb, Sr, Ba, Pb, Fe, Mg, B, Ti, and Cl are present in trace amounts in authigenic. K-feldspar. In quartz cements, K, AI, Fe, B, Ti, Mg, and Cl were detected. Strongly covariant relationships among Sr-Ba-Pb-Rb, Na-Mg-Ca-Cl, and K-Al in authigenic cements were attributed to their similar geochemical behaviors and incorporation modes, continuous chemical changes in the fluidduring migration and cement precipitation, and the requirements of solid solution charge compensation. Concentrations ofBa, Sr, Rb,Pb, Fe, Ca, and Ce in diagenetic fluidswere estimated on the basis of trace element contents in authigenic K­ fe ldspar and distribution coefficientsbetween sanidine and hydrothermal fluids. No correlation between fluidcom positions and positions in the basin (south to north) is apparent. Total K+Na+Li+Mg+ Ca concentrations are significantly higher in generation 2 quartz cement, compared to generation 1 cements; B and K are both notably enriched in generation 2. These differences suggest that later brines had a different composition. The lack of regional trends indicates more local control of the physiochemical environment on trace element concentrations in authigenic minerals, compared to their oxygen isotope or fluidinclusion compositions.

    Mineral Resources of the Illinois Basin in the Context of Basin Evolution St. Louis, Missouri, January 22-23,1992 Program and Abstracts Edited by Martin B. Goldhaber and J. James Eidel U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 92-1 This report is preliminary and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey, Illinois State Geological Survey, Kentucky Geological Survey, Missouri Division of Geology and Land Survey, and Indiana Geological Survey standards. PREFACE The mineral resources of the U.S. midcontinent were instrumental to the development of the U.S. economy. Mineral resources are an important and essential component of the current economy and will continue to play a vital role in the future. Mineral resources provide essential raw materials for the goods consumed by industry and the public. To assess the availability of mineral resources and contribute to the abib'ty to locate and define mineral resources, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has undertaken two programs in cooperation with the State Geological Surveys in the midcontinent region. In 1975, under the Conterminous U.S. Mineral Assessment Program (CUSMAP) work began on the Rolla 1° X 2° Quadrangle at a scale of 1:250,000 and was continued in the adjacent Springfield, Harrison, Joplin, and Paducah quadrangles across southern Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Public meetings were held in 1981 to present results from the Rolla CUSMAP and in 1985 for the Springfield CUSMAP. In 1984, the Midcontinent Strategic and Critical Minerals Project (SCMP) was initiated by the USGS and the State Geological Surveys of 16 states to map and compile data at 1:1,000,000 scale and conduct related topical studies for the area from latitude 36° to 46° N.

    Chapter 1 • Mississippian Oolites and Petroleum Reservoirs in the United States—An Overview Brian D. Keith Indiana Geological Survey and Indiana University Bloomington, Indiana, USA Charles W. Zuppann Indiana Geological Survey Bloomington, Indiana, USA • ABSTRACT A coincidence of tectonic, eustatic, and geochemical conditions resulted in substantial deposits of oolitic limestone during later Mississippian time in the continental United States. These oolitic limestones have formed petrole­ um reservoirs with favorable primary and secondary recovery characteris­ tics. Significant potential reserves in stratigraphic traps remain to be discovered and developed in these reservoirs. INTRODUCTION oolitic limestone deposition on the North American continent was during the Mississippian.
