Book Depositional Environments in the Middle Part of the Glen Rose Limestone  Lower Cretaceous   Blanco and Hays Counties  Texas

Download or read book Depositional Environments in the Middle Part of the Glen Rose Limestone Lower Cretaceous Blanco and Hays Counties Texas written by Arthur Wordsworth Cleaves and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 70-foot interval from the middle part of the Glen Rose Limestone (Lower Cretaceous) has been sampled at 35 localities in central Texas for the purpose of reconstructing vertical and lateral changes of depositional environment on the San Marcos Platform. A marker unit, the Corbula Interval, crops out in the center of the stratigraphic section. The middle Glen Rose was deposited as a mosaic of shoal-water lithotopes in a broad lagoon behind the Gulf Coast Reef Trend. Over part of the Platform the sea was sufficiently shallow to permit the development of local offlap sequences. As a result, intertidal and supratidal units comprise a significant proportion of many local facies successions. In Blanco and Hays counties there are two distinct patterns of vertical facies succession. Closer to the Llano Uplift (Blanco County) 3 to 5 offlap cycles are seen in the 70-foot interval. These involve a gradational trend from subtidal through supratidal facies. Each cycle is bracketed by sharply-defined bedding planes. The cycles are regressional and result from the progradation of carbonate mud flats into a shelf sea. Further to the east and more distant from the Llano Uplift (Hays County) the facies tract lacks the imbricated succession of regressive cycles. Subtidal units comprise the bulk of the section. The difference in the vertical facies pattern for the two areas may result from their relationship to the ancient shoreline. Because the Llano Uplift was emergent during deposition of the middle Glen Rose, the outcrops closest to the Uplift contain abundant evidence of tidal flat sedimentation. Mud mounds and small islands adjacent to land may have served as nuclei for the development of local offlap sequences. To the southeast (Hays County) the shelf sea may have been slightly deeper and probably lacked the nuclei necessary to initiate these sequences. One complete cycle, the Corbula Cycle, crops out in both areas and may record a brief period of emergence for most of the San Marcos Platform

Book The Depositional Environment and the Diagenetic Processes of the Buda Limestone  Cenomanian  in South central Texas

Download or read book The Depositional Environment and the Diagenetic Processes of the Buda Limestone Cenomanian in South central Texas written by Oya Ak and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project focuses on the Buda Limestone in the region, and should lead to the identification of new oil prospects in that part of the state. The depositional environment of the Buda Limestone is interpreted as lying in sections of the inner and the outer shelf, with portions below both fair weather wave base and storm wave base. The Buda Limestone becomes thinner, and the depositional environment becomes shallower across the Pearsall Arch. Ten parasequence sets were identified based on changes in facies and lithology. Surface and subsurface data were used to create a regional sequence model. The Buda Limestone has been exposed to three different types of diagenetic stages, which belong to the marine, meteoric, and burial diagenetic realms. The degree of burial diagenesis is the primary control on porosity. Those sections that have experienced more burial diagenesis and those with allochems originally composed of higher Mg calcite have lower porosity.
