![A) Development of the Laurentian continent and the position of Illinois during the late Precambrian (upper left map), Middle Cambrian (upper middle), and Late Cambrian (upper right) (maps simplified after Blakey 2008). Current north is given next to the outline of Illinois, and paleo-north is given at the top right of the maps. Note the direction of the trade winds and overall transgression during the northward shift of the continent. Note that the continent experiences a longer-term transgression during the Cambrian (Haq and Schutter 2008), whereas the deposits show a (shorter-term) “drying-upward” depositional sequence. B) Thickness of the Mount Simon formation in Illinois and adjoining states (modified from Leetaru and Freiburg 2014; © 2014 University of Illinois Board of Trustees, used by permission of the Illinois State Geological Survey. Gray line indicates the Illinois Basin). C) Location of the wells relative to the topography of the Precambrian basement at Decatur, Illinois (modified from Freiburg et al. 2020). The spacing between the wells is approximately 1 km.]()

(b) Injection rate (blue solid line), carbon capture and storage (CCS1) bottomhole pressure (BHP) (red solid line), and earthquake frequency (black histogram). The injection rate and BHP are weekly averages. (c) Plan view of the microseismicity locations with respect to the injection well (CCS1) and the monitoring well (VW1). Events are color coded by occurrence time. The maximum horizontal stress direction is indicated by the black arrows. Example of focal mechanisms calculated by Dichiarante et al. (2021) are shown for clusters 2 and 4. (d) Cross section from south to north showing the microseismicity variation with depth. Cross‐section location is shown by the black dashed line in panel (c). The black solid lines are the different stratigraphic horizons included in our model. The color version of this figure is available only in the electronic edition.]()

![P‐wave onset time detection results of PPHASEPICKER for vertical‐component broadband velocity records obtained from a small regional event with M 1.1 on 16 September 2013 in Decatur, Illinois. Signals were recorded by six U.S. Geological Survey stations with 200 samples/s: (left) raw signals, and (right) fourth‐pole band‐pass Butterworth‐filtered signals with corner frequencies: high cut = 10 Hz and low cut = 0.5 Hz. The emergent P‐phase onset (P0−) detected by PPHASEPICKER is shown by vertical lines. Manual picks are 12.14, 11.81, 11.63, 11.60, 11.96, and 11.79 s for stations DEC05–DEC12, respectively.The color version of this figure is available only in the electronic edition.]()
