Provenance of Upper Triassic–Middle Jurassic strata of the Plomosas uplift, east-central Chihuahua, Mexico, and possible sedimentologic connections with Colorado Plateau depositional systems Available to Purchase
ABSTRACT Upper Triassic and Lower to Middle Jurassic strata in the Plomosas uplift of central Chihuahua accumulated in backarc and rift settings, respectively. The succession, as much as ~3250 m thick, consists of four stratigraphic units. The Cerro El Carrizalillo Formation (Carnian–Norian), a volcanic-lithic shallow-marine succession deposited in the (newly named) El Carrizalillo backarc basin, is characterized by predominantly Triassic detrital zircon ages. The overlying Plomosas Formation consists of three members: (1) the Cerro de Enmedio Member (Hettangian–Toarcian), a succession of conglomerate, siltstone, and shallow-marine carbonate strata deposited during the onset of extension in Chihuahua; (2) the Cerro Nevado Ignimbrite Member (176 ± 1 Ma; late Toarcian), a widespread ash-flow tuff; and (3) La Sofía Member (Aalenian–Callovian?), consisting of alluvial-fan conglomerate, fluvial sandstone, tidal sandstone and siltstone, and delta-plain red beds characterized by rapid facies changes, lithic compositions, and diverse Proterozoic, Paleozoic, and Triassic detrital zircon ages characteristic of a rift-basin setting. The extensional basin in which the Cerro de Enmedio and La Sofía members accumulated is termed the Plomosas basin. Improved age control provided by U-Pb maximum depositional ages from detrital zircon and U-Pb zircon analyses of the ignimbrite indicates that the Cerro El Carrizalillo Formation is partly correlative with the Chinle Formation of the Colorado Plateau, and the Plomosas Formation is equivalent to eolianites of the Glen Canyon and San Rafael Groups of the Colorado Plateau. Detrital zircon ages and sandstone textures are consistent with both proximal and distal sediment sources along the Laurentia-Gondwana suture and adjoining Grenville basement of Laurentia, including sources in northern Mexico and the composite Appalachian orogen. Although the depositional setting of the Cerro El Carrizalillo Formation was not connected to fluvial systems of the Chinle Formation, subsequent eolian transport of voluminous sediment to the overlying Cerro de Enmedio and La Sofía members from the Colorado Plateau ergs is suggested by the composition and texture of some sandstone, thick siltstone accumulations, and detrital zircon characteristics that broadly resemble those of the Colorado Plateau eolianites. Thick siltstone in the upper part of La Sofía Member is interpreted as deflated fine-grained sediment that was transported downwind from a time-equivalent erg to accumulate in shallow-marine and coastal-plain settings of the Plomosas basin.

Multiresolution Imaging of Shales Using Electron and Helium Ion Microscopy Available to Purchase
Abstract Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has become a common way to estimate porosity and organic matter (OM) content within shale resource rocks. Since quantitative SEM analysis has emerged as a means for assessing the porosity of shale, a common goal has been to image polished samples at the highest possible resolutions. Because nanopores are visible at pixel resolutions ranging from 5 to 10 nm, it is natural to consider the possibility of a pore regime below 5 nm that could contribute a significant amount to the total porosity of the system. When considering that a molecule of methane gas is on the order of 0.4 nm diameter, pores smaller than 5 nm could contribute significant storage volume and transport pathways in a reservoir. These nanopores may be a significant source of porosity within certain OM bodies, where total detectable pores using SEM (i.e., ~10 nm pore body diameter and up) have been observed to be volumetrically equivalent to the OM body volumes themselves. With the potential to examine the population of pores below ~10 nm in diameter using the helium ion microscope (HIM), it is possible to construct a rock model that is more representative of the varied pore size regimes present. The primary goal of this study was to quantify the amount of organic-associated pores below the resolution of conventional field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). In this study, 51 individual imaging locations from 12 organic shale samples were selected for systematic imaging using a HIM. These samples and locations were selected because of the presence of porous OM identified from previously completed SEM imaging. After methodical HIM imaging and digital segmentation, it was concluded that most samples had no significant incremental, resolvable, organic pore fraction below the detection threshold of conventional FESEM imaging. The advanced resolution of the helium ion beam provides sharper definition of pore boundaries, but the total porosity fraction of these <10 nm diameter pores within the OM in most samples was negligible. We also notice that FESEM and HIM can be considered complementary techniques, as each provides beneficial information that cannot be obtained from using only one method.
