...Brian D. Hicks; Kenneth R. Applin; David W. Houseknecht Abstract A petrofabric study was performed on specimens of the Bromide Sandstone, Simpson Group, Oklahoma to determine a possible crystallographic influence on the geometry of intergranular pressure-solution scars. A universal stage was used...

... at a higher angle to the contact plane than the optic axis of the convex grain. We conclude that the extent and type of pressure-solution contacts in quartzose sandstones are not significantly influenced by crystallographic orientation. Other factors, such as grain size and clay content, are probably more...

...David W. Houseknecht Abstract Grain size and temperature significantly influenced intergranular pressure solution, quartz cementation, and porosity evolution in the quartzose Hartshorne Sandstone (Middle Pennsylvanian) of the Arkoma Basin. Among samples from each locality, a negative, linear...

...G. L. Scott Abstract Significant differences exist between the heavy mineral suites of the red arkose facies of the Cutler Formation along the western edge of the granitic Uncompahgre uplift, and the light-colored, highly cross-bedded sandstone members of the Cutler Formation to the west...

...John C. Maxwell ABSTRACT The porosity of sedimentary rocks tends to decrease with increasing age and depth of burial. Shales lose water and compact regularly and readily during burial; sandstones behave much less predictably, particularly at shallow depths. Laboratory determinations of the crushing...

... (Jurassic, Utah), and Tuscarora (Silurian, Pennsylvania) sandstones. A linear relationship exists between mean grain size and intergranular pressure solution, with finer-grained samples having experienced more intergranular pressure solution than coarser-grained ones. Samples that display pervasive illite...

...E. C. Dapples Abstract The proposed classification of carbonate cement precipitated in quartzose sandstones is based upon two major characteristics: (1) crystallization of carbonate in available intergranular pores without modification in the arrangement of the detrital grain framework...

...W. D. Lowry ABSTRACT Quartzose sandstones of western Virginia, ranging in age from early Cambrian to early Pennsylvanian, were cemented by a process called welding. Welding is the result of solution of silica at grain contacts and concurrent precipitation of that silica in the pore spaces...

... by quartzose sandstones of Virginia, W. D. Lowry (1956 , p. 493) attempts to relate time of cementation to development of permanent strain (either by deformation or depth of burial). He notes that “because the quartz of the outgrowths appears to be strained fully as much as that of the original grains, most...

... illustrated are not only markedly strained but the straining is of a uniform degree. All of the quartz grains in the thin sections of Silurian, Devonian, Mississippian, and early Pennsylvanian quartzose sandstones of western Virginia are strained (much less than the Antietam figured) and the outgrowths...

...David W. Houseknecht ABSTRACT Compared to cementation by quartz, carbonates, and clay minerals, intergranular pressure solution has long been viewed as a minor control of porosity evolution in quartzose sandstones. However, quantitative cathodoluminescence petrography and scanning electron...

...C. F. Lobo; R. H. Osborne Abstract Petrographic and radiographic analyses were conducted on oriented samples of Late Precambrian-Cambrian quartzose sandstones collected from five cratonal and five miogeoclinal stratigraphic sections in the eastern Mojave Desert, southeastern California. Twelve...

...Per Arne Bjørkum; Eric H. Oelkers; Paul H. Nadeau; Olav Walderhaug; William M. Murphy ABSTRACT The variation of porosity in quartzose sandstones is calculated as a function of depth, temperature gradient, burial rate, stylolite frequency, and hydrocarbon saturation. Calculations were performed...

...John C. Hopkins ABSTRACT Quartzose sandstones which overlie Lower Jurassic strata in the Medicine River area can be divided into three different units, each separated by an unconformity. The two lower units (J2 and J3) fill a deep valley cut into older strata; the upper unit (Ellerslie) covers...

...., at 3 km and 3 m, m S = 8.9 × 10 -4 ; at 6 m, m S = 7.5 × 10 -4 ); hence, reservoir-quality loss by pressure solution is impeded in those sandstones containing more saline pore fluids. Pressure solution is far more active in basins characterized by high heat flow. Very fine-, fine-, and medium-grained...

...J. C. Hopkins Quartzose sandstones of the lower part of the Mannville Group in east-central Alberta are generally referred to as the Ellerslie Formation (Member). They are considered to be the deposits of a Lower Cretaceous fluvio-deltaic complex which overlies the “Pre-Cretaceous” unconformity...
