Geochemical facies analysis of fine-grained siliciclastics using Th/U, Zr/Rb and (Zr+Rb)/Sr ratios
TL;DR: In this article, the trace elements Zr, Rb, Sr, Th and U were used as indicators of the redox conditions of fine-grained siliciclastic sediments.
Journal ArticleDOI
The character and origin of lacustrine source rocks in the Lower Cretaceous synrift section, Congo Basin, west Africa
Nicholas B. Harris,Katherine H. Freeman,Richard D. Pancost,Timothy S. White,Gareth D. Mitchell +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a lower Cretaceous synrift synrift lacustrine shales from the Congo Basin, west Africa, have been analyzed with sedimentological and geochemical techniques to characterize source rock quality and identify triggers for deposition of intervals richest in organic carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Porosity characteristics of the Devonian Horn River shale, Canada: Insights from lithofacies classification and shale composition
TL;DR: In this article, the pore systems of the Horn River shale in Western Canada Sedimentary Basin from core samples to micro-scale pore structure investigation were evaluated by core description, porosity measurement, SEM, and TEM imaging of ion milled samples, and nitrogen adsorption analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secular variation in the major-ion chemistry of seawater: Evidence from fluid inclusions in Cretaceous halites
TL;DR: The major-ion chemistry of Cretaceous seawater was determined from analyses of seawater-derived brines preserved as fluid inclusions in marine halites using the environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) X-ray energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) technique as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagenesis of a tight gas sand reservoir: Upper Cretaceous Mesaverde Group, Piceance Basin, Colorado
TL;DR: The Upper Cretaceous Mesaverde Group in the Piceance Basin, western Colorado, contains thick sections of low porosity, low permeability sandstones that are reservoirs for large accumulations of hydrocarbon gas as discussed by the authors.
