Depositional Paradigms regarding the origin of sedimentary chert have interpretations for Paleozoic CPM examples include the remained largely unchanged for decades. Extant paradigms following: a) inferred deep marine along paleo-continental generally focus on some aspect of biogenic extraction and margins, b) shallow shelves and epicontinental seas, c) precipitation of silica from seawater without explicitly supratidal environments, and d) nonmarine chert associated addressing the primary source of silica (e.g., Gutschick and with aeolinites. Chert that may have formed on abyssal plains Sandberg, 1983; Maliva, et al., 1989; Beauchamp and Baud, has been lost to subduction. I compare chert examples for 2002; Pope and Steffen, 2003). The primary sources of each of these settings to paleoclimate interpretations of Boucot silica in modern oceans have been attributed predominantly et al., (2013). to river input with lesser amounts coming from submarine groundwater discharge, dust, seafloor weathering, and CHERT: CAMBRIAN TO PERMIAN hydrothermal vents respectively (Tréguer and De La Rocha, Cambrian and Ordovician chert 2013). However, any changes in the order of predominance Examples of CPM in inferred deep water include the among these sources through time are unknown. In this paper Middle and Late Ordovician Bigfork*** and Maravillas cherts I reintroduce a rarely discussed paradigm that attributes the in the Ouachita-Marathon structural trend (Goldstein, 1959), predominant source of silica for Paleozoic chert to aeolian and Ordovician chert in the Cordilleran basin margin in deposition of siliceous sediments (hereinafter, dust) (Haught, Nevada and Idaho (Ketner, 1969).

  • Areal Geology of the Illinois Fluorspar District
    STATE OF ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF REGISTRATION AND EDUCATION AREAL GEOLOGY OF THE ILLINOIS FLUORSPAR DISTRICT Part 3 - Herod and Shetlerville Quadrangles James W. Baxter George A. Desborough Chester W. Shaw ILLINOIS STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY John C. Frye, Chief URBANA CIRCULAR 413 1967 AREAL GEOLOGY OF THE ILLINOIS FLUORSPAR DISTRICT Part 3 - Herod and Shetlerville Quadrangles James W. Baxter, George A. Desborough, and Chester W. Shaw ABSTRACT This report and map of the Herod and the Illinois part of the Shetlerville 7;-minute Quadrangles complete the geologic remapping of the Illinois fluorspar district. These quadrangles include portions of eastern Pope, westernHar- din, and southern Saline Counties and comprise the west- ern part of the mineralized district. Twenty-nine sedimentary rock units ranging from Lower Devonian to middle Pennsylvanian in age, and two units of Pleistocene age, are differentiated on the geologic map. In addition, the top and bottom of major sandstone members within formations of Pennsylvanian age are delin- eated wherever possible. The Herod and Shetlerville Quadrangles occupy a position on the north and west flanks of a large domal anti- cline that extends southeastward from the Shawneetown- Rough Creek Fault Zone in northern Pope, southern Saline, and southernGallatin Counties into Kentucky. Hicks Dome, subsidiary to the domal anticline, but located on its axis, forms a structural apex on the eastern margin of the Herod Quadrangle. North and west of Hicks Dome, the strata dip into the Moorman-Eagle Valley Syncline. Hicks Dome lies between two major northeast-trend- ing grabens that transect the domal anticline-the Rock Creek Graben on the east and the Dixon Springs Graben on the west.

  • Petrophysical Properties of the Fort Payne Formation (Mississippian), Tennessee and Kentucky Garrett T
    Petrophysical Properties of the Fort Payne Formation (Mississippian), Tennessee and Kentucky Garrett T. Winkle Hannah Blaylock TTU, Earth Sciences The Fort Payne Formation is a Middle Mississippian unit that outcrops in north-central Tennessee and south-central Kentucky. Two study locations are presented in this research: an outcrop south of Celina, Tennessee on TN 52 and an outcrop south of Burkesville, Kentucky on KY 61. In these locations, the formation consists of primarily mixed carbonate and siliciclastic shale lithologies. The most common facies observed in the Fort Payne are crinoidal grainstones and interbedded siliciclastic and carbonate mudstones. The purpose of this work is to characterize petrophysical properties of the Fort Payne Formation to assist with hydrocarbon exploration in the region. A handheld gamma ray scintillometer was used to collect data from both study areas. In the Celina location, paleochannels are incised into carbonate and siliciclastic mudstones. The Burkesville site has been interpreted as a Waulsortian-type carbonate mound. In addition to measured stratigraphic sections, the scintillometer provides information on potassium, uranium, and thorium content as well as total gamma ray response. All data are plotted against rock type, allowing for stratigraphic analysis of the Fort Payne Formation using petrophysical properties (i.e. gamma ray response). Radioactive elements (potassium, uranium, and thorium) increase when analyzing finer clay-rich siliciclastic and carbonate mud, and decrease when analyzing coarser grainstones. This likely reflects an increase in siliciclastic material into the system during periods of quiescence on the Mississippian slope. Given that the Fort Payne is a mixed carbonate-clastic system, analysis of petrophysical properties will allow calibration with drilling results in Tennessee and Kentucky, as well as provide a model for similar systems globally.
