  • 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.
