Petrography, Diagenesis and Depositional Models of the St. Louis Limestone, Valmeyeran (Middle Mississippian), Illinois Basin, u.s.a. (United States)

Abstract

dc:description

The Valmeyeran (Middle Mississippian) St. Louis Limestone of the Illinois Basin was studied through eight cores and six field sections. Detailed petrography of 1542 oriented thin sections led to recognition of 16 carbonate microfacies. The vertical succession, reciprocal (lateral and vertical) relationships and correlation coefficients of the microfacies permitted construction of three depositional models.
