Mineral Resources of the Illinois Basin in the Context of Basin Evolution
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. -

Thick High-Purity Limestone and Dolomite, In Carroll County, Indiana Curtis H. Ault and Donald D. Carr Indiana Geological Survey, Bloomington, Indiana 47401 Introduction Large -size high-purity dolomite deposits of reefal origin are well known in northern Indiana, northeastern Illinois, Michigan, and northwestern Ohio, but high-purity limestone reefal deposits are rare. Without doubt the original reef composition was limestone, but in many of the deposits diagenesis has changed the limestone to dolomite. Exceptions seem to occur, however, almost as accidents of nature, and because of this we were pleasantly surprised to discover two thick sections of high-purity carbonate rock in reefs of Silurian age, one limestone and one dolomite, about 6 miles apart in Carroll County (Fig. 1). Discovery of the high-purity limestone was propitious because the demand for high-purity carbonate rock for use in flue gas desulfurization, fluidized bed 50 MILES Figure 1 Indiana .

The dolomite is currently being exploited for aggregate, but the limestone awaits commercial development. Background In 1973 the Indiana Geological Survey drilled a core hole (SDH 244) in the center of the Delphi reef as part of a study of reefs in northern Indiana by Curtis H. Ault and Robert H. Shaver. The reef was found to be 398 feet thick; this is the thickest continuous section of high-magnesium dolomite in Indiana ever analyzed by the Survey. -

OZARK UPLIFT PROVINCE (057) by Joseph R
OZARK UPLIFT PROVINCE (057) By Joseph R. Hatch INTRODUCTION The Ozark Uplift Province covers approximately 53,000 sq mi in eastern and southern Missouri (76 counties) and northern Arkansas (10 counties). The province is bounded on the north by the Iowa Shelf Province (052), on the east by the Illinois Basin Province (064), on the south by the Arkoma Basin Province (058), and on the west by the Cherokee Platform (060) and Forest City Basin (056) Provinces. The major structural element in the province is the domal Ozark Uplift, from which sedimentary rocks have been eroded, leaving approximately 350 sq mi of Precambrian granite exposed in the core area. The sedimentary cover in the Ozark Uplift Province averages less than 2000 ft and primarily consists of dolomites and sandstones of Cambrian and lower Ordovician age. A generalized stratigraphic column for the province is shown in figure 2. In the western part of the Ozark area, Mississippian rocks overlap lower Ordovician rocks, and Middle Ordovician, Silurian, and Devonian rocks are absent. Middle Ordovician, Middle Devonian, Mississippian, and Pennsylvanian rocks are generally present in the counties north of the Missouri River (Adler and others, 1971). One conventional hypothetical play has been defined for this province, Middle Ordovician (Champlainian) Play (5701). ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Scientists affiliated with the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and from various State geological surveys contributed significantly to play concepts and definitions. Their contributions are gratefully acknowledged. CONVENTIONAL PLAYS 5701. MIDDLE ORDOVICIAN (CHAMPLAINIAN) PLAY (HYPOTHETICAL) The hypothetical Middle Ordovician (Champlainian) Play in the Ozark Uplift Province is based on (1) current hydrocarbon production from age-equivalent rocks in the adjacent Illinois Basin and Forest City Basin Provinces (064 and 056); (2) the presence of potentially good to excellent hydrocarbon source rocks in the Middle Ordovician section; and (3) the presence of potential sandstone and porous dolomite and limestone reservoirs. -
