Spatial and temporal evolution of a coastal erg margin: the Middle Jurassic Page Sandstone, southern Utah, USA

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aeolian deflationary events are erosive to static stages where sediment supply is insufficient to support bedform migration and preservation in the rock record. In the vicinity of shallow‐marine environments, inland rises of relative water table and associated generation of deflationary super surfaces may be driven by the onset of ...

Recognition of fossil keratose sponges in carbonates using petrographic and machine‐learning classification

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Filamentous, anastomosing spar‐filled networks in Phanerozoic carbonates have been interpreted as the mineralised remains of keratose (non‐spiculate) sponges, yet their recognition remains contested because fabrics of broadly similar appearance may arise from microbial, diagenetic or physical processes. This study combines direct fossil–modern

Diagenetic controls on porosity evolution and pore type organisation in microporous carbonate rocks: Evidence for mesogenetic porosity formation

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microporous carbonate rocks typically record complex diagenetic histories driven by microbial activity and fluid interactions within multiple diagenetic environments. The relative roles of meteoric and burial diagenetic processes in pore evolution remain debated, particularly within Cretaceous carbonate systems of the Middle East, as does the ...

Porosity Preservation in Deeply Buried (8500 m) Jurassic Calcareous Mudstones of the Vienna Basin (Austria)

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Significant porosity of more than 5% was found at depths of more than 8500 m in poorly sorted, calcareous mudstones of the Malmian Mikulov Formation. These overpressured rocks are the main hydrocarbon source rock in the Vienna Basin. Core samples from present‐day depths of 8150 m to 8550 m were analysed using X‐ray diffraction and scanning ...
