  • Dolomite: Occurrence, Evolution and Economically Important Associations
    Earth-Science Reviews 52Ž. 2000 1±81 www.elsevier.comrlocaterearscirev Dolomite: occurrence, evolution and economically important associations John Warren Department Petroleum Geosciences, UniÕersity Brunei Darussalam, Tungku Link, Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Received 14 October 1999; accepted 7 July 2000 Abstract Dolomite is not a simple mineral; it can form as a primary precipitate, a diagenetic replacement, or as a hydrothermalrmetamorphic phase, all that it requires is permeability, a mechanism that facilitates fluid flow, and a sufficient supply of magnesium. Dolomite can form in lakes, on or beneath the shallow seafloor, in zones of brine reflux, and in early to late burial settings. It may form from seawater, from continental waters, from the mixing of basinal brines, the mixing of hypersaline brine with seawater, or the mixing of seawater with meteoric water, or via the cooling of basinal brines. Bacterial metabolism may aid the process of precipitation in settings where sulfate-reducing species flourish and microbial action may control primary precipitation in some hypersaline anoxic lake settings. Dolomite is a metastable mineral, early formed crystals can be replaced by later more stable phases with such replacements repeated a number of times during burial and metamorphism. Each new phase is formed by the partial or complete dissolution of an earlier dolomite. This continual re-equilibration during burial detracts from the ability of trace elements to indicate depositional conditions and resets the oxygen isotope signature of the dolomite at progressively higher temperatures. Because subsurface dolomite evolves via dissolution and reprecipitation, a bed of dolomite can retain or create porosity and permeability to much greater burial depths and into higher temperature realms than a limestone counterpart.

  • Developing a Sequence Stratigraphic Framework for the Late Devonian Chattanooga Shale of the Southeastern Us: Relevance for the Bakken Shale
    DEVELOPING A SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHIC FRAMEWORK FOR THE LATE DEVONIAN CHATTANOOGA SHALE OF THE SOUTHEASTERN US: RELEVANCE FOR THE BAKKEN SHALE Jürgen Schieber Department of Geology, The University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, Texas 76019 ABSTRACT The Late Devonian Chattanooga Shale of Tennessee and Kentucky is in most areas a thin black shale deposit of less than 10 meters thickness. It is a distal equivalent to the almost 3000m thick Catskill sequence, and encompasses most of the Frasnian and Fammenian. Although originally thought of as a continuously, though slowly, deposited deep water shale unit, the Chattanooga Shale shows internal erosion surfaces at various scales as well as storm deposits. These features suggest comparatively shallow water deposition (tens of meters water depth), and a stratigraphic record with numerous interruptions of various duration. A number of erosion surfaces are laterally extensive and can be traced from exposure to exposure through the entire outcrop area (over distances of as much as 300km). Erosion surfaces of this type are considered sequence boundaries sensu Vail, and tracing them has made it possible to subdivide the Chattanooga Shale into as many as 14 sequences. These sequence boundaries are very subtle. The following features are indicative of their presence in a given outcrop: 1) sandy, silty, or pyritic lag deposits of up to several cm thickness; 2) sharp-based shale beds; 3) low-angle truncation of shale beds; 4) scoured surfaces; and 5) soft-sediment deformation in underlying shales. Tracing erosion surfaces from outcrop to outcrop is based on a combination of: 1) petrographic matching of lag deposits; 2) the petrography and microfabrics of individual shale packages; 3) conodont data; and 4) gamma ray surveys.
