Download or read book Weeping Sandstone written by Bob Kessler and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weeping Sandstone: The Geology of the Great Kanawha Valley should be in everyone's library who is interested in rocks and fossils. Bob Kessler goes back into the past and discusses the different rock types so common in West Virginia and the Kanawha Valley and how they were formed; how ancient plants, animals, and giant insects became trapped in sediment and are today liberated as fossils; and what it must have been like to have lived during the time of the rock's formation 300 million years ago. Kessler discusses and identifies the rocks seen in road cuts and the creation of coal beds, and teaches how to "read" the rocks since each rock has its own story. The Kanawha Valley has had many "faces" -- from flat as a western plain to mountainous and all shapes in between. Kessler puts it all together in an easy reading narrative along with some of his own thoughts on Nature, time, and current land development. After reading this book it will be difficult to look at rocks as just something you put on your driveway or skip across a lake.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lower Devonian Oriskany Sandstone is a quartz arenite formation that is located throughout the Appalachian Basin and extends from New York to Virginia. In West Virginia, Oriskany Sandstone found in the western and central part of the state possesses favorable reservoir porosity values of ~6% and permeability values of ~10md. In the structurally complex northeastern part of West Virginia, the Oriskany Sandstone contains much lower porosity and permeability values due to diagenetic alteration. This study focuses on identifying the diagenetic alterations that create and destroy porosity in northeast West Virginia Oriskany Sandstone. An Oriskany Sandstone bed, located in Little Mountain Anticline of the Smoke Hole Region in northeast West Virginia, was divided into three fold zones and analyzed through thin section. Petrographic and diagenetic analysis was accomplished by using the 300 point count method on samples in thin section. Mineralogically the sandstone contains 63% quartz, 23% feldspar, 7% carbonate, 5% argillaceous and accessory minerals, and the remainder was porosity. Porosity occluding diagenetic alterations observed in Little Mountain Anticline include cementation by quartz, feldspar, and carbonate. All microscopic primary porosity was occluded. Secondary porosity ([less than] 2%) is associated with grain dissolution and the formation of solution seams and stylolites. Solution seams and stylolites are oriented parallel to bedding, having formed due to overburden stresses, and at acute angles to bedding, resulting from deformational stresses. Porosity differs between zones. South limb and axis zones show dissolution and solution seam-related porosity whereas the north limb zone shows only solution seam-related porosity. These microscopic-scale properties are not favorable for natural gas extraction, and unsuitable for potential future CO2 sequestration.
