Plate tectonics and sandstone compositions

TL;DR: The relationship between provenance and basin is important for hydrocarbon exploration because sand frameworks of contrasting detrital compositions respond differently to diagenesis, and thus display different trends of porosity reduction with depth of burial as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Provenance of Franciscan graywackes in coastal California

TL;DR: A systematic comparison of available detrital modes for graywacke sandstones of the Franciscan subduction complex and for coeval sandstones in the California Coast Ranges indicates that both were apparently derived from the same general sources as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sandstone Compositions Related to Plate Tectonic Settings: ABSTRACT

TL;DR: In this article, a series of four triangular diagrams are used to distinguish between the main provenance types of sandstones, i.e., quartz, polycrystalline quartz, potassium feldspar, plagioclase, volcanic lithic grains, and sedimentary lithic sand.
Journal ArticleDOI

Black on white meeting slides best

TL;DR: While I agree with Randall S. Jacobson (Eos, June 9, 1992) that better slides are needed at meetings and that colored lines or words on a black background are difficult to read, I disagree that white on black is the best alternative.
