Carbonate microfacies, depositional models and diagenesis of the Middle Devonian in Illinois, eastern Iowa and Missouri
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe Middle Devonian Wapsipinicon Formation, Cedar Valley Limestone, Grand Tower Limestone and Lingle Formation in Illinois, eastern Iowa and Missouri were studied from ten field sections and four cores. Detailed petrographic analysis of almost 2,000 thin sections resulted in the recognition of twelve normal marine and twelve hypersaline microfacies. The vertical succession and statistical analysis of microfacies permitted recognition of four ideal shallowing-upward sequences which were converted into horizontal depositional models.
