This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This field trip guidebook uses the Miocene Monterey Formation as a natural laboratory to understand the origin, distribution and physical properties of biogenic, siliceous and organic-rich mudrocks deposited from clastic-starved, upwelling systems above marginal marine basins. Based on a successful week-long, professional short-course led for many years by the authors, the guidebook teaches how to distinguish types of siliceous, calcareous/dolomitic, phosphatic and organic-rich rocks and to understand relationships between depositional environment, sediment and rock composition, diagenetic evolution, and bedding style or stacking patterns. Knowledge of the chemical and mineralogic character and the physical properties of these rocks is then applied to understand variations in mechanical stratigraphy and fracture architecture that can enhance prediction of petroleum reservoir properties.The field guide takes the user to spectacular, classic outcrops of different facies of the Miocene Monterey Formation exposed along the coast of southern and central California. The great heterogeneity of the Monterey Formation permits investigation of siliceous, calcareous, phosphatic and carbonaceous mudrocks and their different properties and deformational behavior that can be applied to other mudstones around the world. Their occurrence within a complex and varied tectonically active setting provides exposures that presenting different aspects, perspectives and styles of deformation from extension to compression to strike-slip faulting, with bedding-scale to formational-scale expressions.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The 752 meter section of the Miocene Monterey exposures between Point Dume and Paradise Cove is described in detail using meter-by-meter Spectral Gamma Ray data, lithologic descriptions, sandstone analysis (percent sandstone and thin section petrography) and X-ray diffraction data. Samples were analyzed to determine total organic carbon (% TOC) and diatom assemblages. The stratigraphic section is subdivided into four distinct members and is portrayed in a new stratigraphic column. In stratigraphic order, the members are the Dolomitic Phosphatic Shale Member, the Porcelanite and Shale Member, the Mixed Clastics Member and the Cherty Diatomite Member. High TOC values in the Dolomitic Phosphatic Shale range between 4.2 and 7.5%. Opal-CT phase silica occurs in cherts and porcelanite and biogenic Opal-A phase silica occurred in the diatomites. Rocks showing a complete diagenesis to Quartz phase silica are not in the section. Bedding confined fractures and joint sets between different siliceous rocks are abundant in the Porcelanite and Shale Member. The base of the Mixed Clastics member has high energy deposits indicating down-slope movement with major sandstones and conglomerates. The top of the section contains the Cherty Diatomite member and consists of rhythmically bedded pure diatomite, "speckled" beds, muddy diatomites, siliceous/calcareous mudrocks and Opal-CT chert. Dolostone forms a significant component of the rock type throughout the section. The Monterey Formation is found throughout Coastal California and in most of the Neogene sedimentary basins in the State. It is highly petroliferous, forming both the source and reservoir rock. Understanding the exposures in Malibu, CA contributes to the understanding of this economically important formation.
