  2. Paleogeothermal Conditions in the Illinois Basin During Late Paleozoic Coalification

    Marino, JorgeUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2015

    In the Illinois Basin (IB) the coals with the highest rank are not located within the deepest part (depocenter) of the basin, but rather occur to the south near to an intrusion, additionally the analysis of vitrinite reflectance in deep wells suggests that the paleogeotherm of the basin contain an …

  6. Illite in the Lower Paleozoic of the Illinois Basin: Origin, age, and polytype quantification

    Grathoff, Georg HeinrichUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2011

    Illite was first named in 1937 in Illinois by Ralph Grim, one of the founders of clay mineralogy. Illite is the most abundant clay mineral on the earth's surface. However, we know very little about the origin of illite in Illinois. This dissertation focuses on two aspects of illite in the Lower …
