00:06 Okay, I'm gonna talk a little about texture and mainly about composition.

00:14 as usual, there's some references here all are on the in the topics

00:20 , but none of which you required re next. You're pretty obvious.

00:26 you've done it in your undergraduate Brain size sort and roundness composition framework

00:35 matrix cement. That's all pretty Obviously, I'm just dealing with really

00:42 classic rocks. Um Extra by all these. Uh well is impacted by

00:56 variables down the environment of deposition. will turn determines a lot of the

01:03 properties. So we're interested in texture a lot of reasons, but the

01:08 of this course composition on the view no tectonic setting, there's availability,

01:20 climate is chemical drilling and vastly biological . Now there's been a lot of

01:30 about the implications of land plants and Lorien affecting the type. Uh

01:39 Bank stability and therefore flu viel types systems we get. But we're finding

01:45 the evolution of plankton plan, tonic , plank tonic organisms uh is important

01:54 shells. So one of the things see is a hint that shells are

01:59 . But again, this will be that I don't have time to focus

02:04 transportation, definition of environment. Looking brain size and mechanical and chemical

02:12 We'll talk more about die genesis at end. Uh My my background is

02:20 folk. And so I'm gonna use Wentworth scale for gray size. Uh

02:25 fee scale. Um Talking about sandstone, silt stone. Okay,

02:35 is what I'll be using. This what first hit sometimes. Get them

02:41 up and talk about microns millimeters, I'll try to stick to five.

02:48 here we go, scale the categories straightforward. What is not straightforward is

02:56 do you measure? Um I'm not go into the detail except to

03:01 contending you sieves for most of the until we did it. And now

03:07 mainly use settling tubes, settling tubes brain settling velocity, which is only

03:16 a circuit of grain size sieves measure size and are unrelated in specifics to

03:25 velocity. So we've already got a in addition must be getting below saying

03:32 measuring by a variety of techniques, encounters, settling tubes again. Uh

03:39 again, what we're measuring lastly, we measure clue probably mason the individual

03:49 blocks because clay often flock yah, and are transported is stand size

04:01 They're basically hydraulically. Why find say settling velocities much smaller like silk.

04:12 a big movie. So, as see this has a understand on the

04:21 in which shields reform ways in which is transported Also. Uh there's a

04:29 of categories that we could use for in this case, poor syl fine

04:39 , which is uh I'm gonna focus when I do that, we've been

04:56 at the framework brains there's gonna be and coarse silt. They're basically going

05:03 big mineral of rock fragments. And I'm gonna look at the cement.

05:10 material precipitated from solution. The materials solution being reduced by chemical dissolution

05:23 And then there's matrix uh matrix typically , they filled interstitial spaces between the

05:36 but then Samantha is as well, there are predominantly re crystallize. So

05:48 gonna see that both cement and matrix are filling the poorest between the framework

05:55 and also with respect to re some of the matrix is formed by

06:01 crystallization of framework brains. Let's look that. Here's a straightforward court sandstone

06:10 , Karius cement. Okay, this a less straightforward quartz, muddy

06:21 A lot of the clients by you don't see much cement here.

06:30 question is uh what does the clay ? That's a large percentage of if

06:40 like, interstitial four space. Was transported to try? Italy? Was

06:48 re crystallized? Was it precipitated? , it turns out there are different

06:54 of makeups, proto makers is basically tribal claim. Okay, um that

07:03 be the stuff that wasn't deposited. was the non wash load stuff that

07:08 deposited or transported in suspension, deposited suspended load or automaker was replaced.

07:18 crystallized by replacing something else. Maybe fill spot heavy matrix that's interstitial,

07:30 trying to clay and lastly sudo matrix is deformed, fine grained materials that

07:39 squeezed into the pore spaces and for world looked like play matrix.

07:49 now each of these is really important terms of die genesis in terms of

08:00 the the source area from the original . For example, when we look

08:08 relative amount in sports, That is standard between let's say four sides and

08:17 corpses. What happens if the film being replaced by clay? If you

08:24 recognize that, then you're not gonna able to reconstruct what it was

08:29 Now may be okay for di genetic because that re crystallized play is gonna

08:34 the float but it's going to completely up your confidence studies. He now

08:44 minerals that we're looking at mainly and micro christian Children, those are the

08:58 and then we have accessory minerals that not gonna deal with except to say

09:04 like zircons have become really important because the way we're using it to date

09:10 source areas. Okay. And we rock writers, minerals and rock

09:19 Very good. Oh and what do all have in common? You're

09:33 Great after how do we get Yes. Yes it is. Why

09:53 it what happens to a grand? really that granny is now the court

10:17 on men look friends. So you , we're dealing with sand sized particles

10:25 you need a an igneous rock or or 4% of entry that has finer

10:30 particles than them again. Uh and of course we have chemical cement,

10:38 kind of uh quartz carbonate, Emma in like except now when we classified

10:50 sandstone, we typically use a Q . Diet for elliptic fragments now.

11:02 sports include. Sure or not. , fell far. Well, if

11:08 did see a granite, what you it sells for of course little fragments

11:15 be here. Well, there are fact 50 plus examples the way we

11:20 this pod for this trial. and so what I'm gonna do,

11:28 gonna use folks classifications I grew up , but as I also show as

11:37 go along, uh, one, most important is that you define and

11:45 understand which classification is being used if somebody says it's um, archives,

11:58 which of those 50 classifications are they Secondly, you may want to use

12:03 than one because different que of el tell you different things. One is

12:14 for die genesis, one is better provenance. One's better just for general

12:22 . And as folks said, there no perfect classification. Okay, just

12:27 clear what you're using and know why using it and you may use more

12:31 one, which by the way, when you point count, be as

12:36 as you can because that's the raw and then you can assemble it and

12:42 it in different classifications. Now in , the raw fried mechanically and chemically

12:53 . Chemically unstated mechanically. They're sports both chemical and mechanical things. So

13:04 general as we trend up this in towards increasing chemical and textural maturity.

13:17 , so I'm going to talk about science arcos is. The paranoid.

13:29 . And kind of loose when we that stuff build serenades, just know

13:41 they exist. But I'm going to of restrict myself to these general

13:51 So if we look at courts there More than 95% boards and Quartz

14:00 So for this for my purpose, I say otherwise, I'm going to

14:05 the church in the because I'm interested durability. Not necessarily pro tonight's

14:13 interesting provenance. I might pull the and drop it down to.

14:19 typically super mature, which means that well sorted. They are predominantly courts

14:26 probably well rounded. Usually the product multiple cycles of deposition. Okay,

14:36 is an exception. There are a places where the humid weathering is sufficiently

14:43 that you can get what's called the cycle, forced air light. That's

14:51 . The well rounded, well sorted sand stones in the past are almost

14:59 multi cycled. About a third of fans stones, but about half of

15:06 are in the late protas or early soil in part because it takes a

15:11 time to go through multi sites and are also a major source of,

15:18 here to be an example, can . Now, that's the photo of

15:24 they're not if you like. Uh is a court and in particular notice

15:31 got ports, you have optically continuous committed. So it's really hard.

15:41 fact, you have to look at kind of dust rim to try to

15:46 out where the cement ends and the begins. This is zero. I'm

15:55 . This is your non reservoir This is also a because again,

16:04 term is based not on the cement content. One of the framework

16:13 yeah, hilariously cemented. This is and it's good even though there's no

16:22 us to hear now with die this is easily secondary prostate in a

16:31 like this. Now we'll drop We can subdivide. But basically now

16:53 are angular the soviet moderately well and immature. That's telling us a

17:06 So the first thing is the large of feldspar sand in your sad stuff

17:15 . Of course, brain cells are rich source in your military and I'm

17:21 content for humankind. I relieved. this could be the source could be

17:29 nice more typically implanted. Again, can't get horse brain cells border without

17:36 grain protocol. Every climate. the point here is that very

17:43 Don't dissolve your films books right there climate, I believe. Well,

17:54 a situation where um if you have lot of high relief, that humid

18:01 zone which will just dissolved or replaced fellas bars is being stripped away so

18:11 that it's exposing the unwed third Then again, we can subdivide as

18:20 only two subcategories. I use a that's kind of an unusual and it's

18:31 because organic folks, um but those all going to be left their

18:39 Okay, here's a look there. I'm actually that might be called a

18:45 way and you can see the but everything else is just the

18:56 But if you look at it really , you begin to see that there

19:06 brains here, that our rock fragments so it's poorly sorted, has a

19:26 of rock fragments and some of this matrix, but a lot of it

19:35 just silk and very fine grains So it's a literal what you would

19:46 . It would depend on part the of these fine green friends, which

19:52 can't tell. The field folks called a very hard ugly, dirty dark

19:58 . You can't tell much about it pretty much cooked. Now, here

20:08 the matrix that we're getting from. is more similar to what we just

20:12 at. Um It's a literary night . This could also be a literal

20:20 , but you can more clearly see Senate. So it's in one

20:26 it's a field term kind of like we used to salt the reality is

20:33 is a exclusive dark volcanic product as filter. We've got to get a

20:41 analysis figure out exactly where it But as a field term, it's

20:48 synergetic dirty sandstone. It tends to uh deposited during origin ICC events.

20:58 got a lot of rock fragments is be a lift every night and often

21:02 chloride clay matrix, which is that . And it's often associated with inter

21:09 shells or flesh. So she's just old that now largely reflects deposition of

21:18 of slope deposits in the lab. can be more specific, More than

21:26 matrix, etc, etc. I try to avoid. Now The

21:40 why it's got more than 15% as definition here is in part because one

21:46 the ways of classifying um the much There's a transition there 196 and why

22:02 now you're more familiar with carbonates when talk about lackey soups. Um but

22:10 we could also happen. Okay, when we get into mud stones,

22:21 Millican uh took picture for classes, take, what are we gonna call

22:31 call? Because in point of fact you can't see much and to the

22:41 seems really pretty. Very. So name's Dave laser me pr and others

22:52 this classification. This is the one I think most people are using

22:56 I'm using it for sure. Uh accident Instead of he says Buddy said

23:06 more than 50% matrix and particularly still still in standing and you can't say

23:29 those two classifications department. Yeah, classification is texture and you can you

23:44 be able to say some of this feel a lot of it's gonna be

23:47 microscope particularly on a textural classification is a sandstone. You then need to

23:59 what is the composition. So if look at the composition we take a

24:10 what what's and so we can modify delicious work. I'll carry as much

24:24 more mixtures in and we think about compositions and play. We can also

24:38 about the origin of each of those regarding carbonate as you well know of

24:59 could be. Or my coverage is a might be really worried. Some

25:19 speculum system author Ganic said. And this just shows you what the different

25:27 impulses, genetic components, how they they might come from their origin.

25:41 one problem how you study mud rocks X ray diffraction always good. So

25:54 it's fun formation population of so they other day Probably if you get 10

26:13 analysis I don't want you could look the variability. Those same same.

26:24 are four different models. The information get will determine will be determined technique

26:36 is obtaining Katie Millican at the same suggested a somewhat different classification. Oh

26:52 grains. How about hymns while stylistic curious showing you this. Uh mentioning

27:10 part is there's been a lot of about this classification and I can only

27:20 one classification. I think lasers classification probably used more except for many of

27:27 U. T. And Bureau of geology. Uh just be aware there

27:32 two classifications uh and be aware of components and and in particular be aware

27:44 the kinds of components uh why carbon . Sports and then where they come

28:00 . Okay so let's look at some the controls on composition and focus now

28:05 on mud blocks when focused mainly on nights. Uh huh. We'll go

28:16 to mud rocks towards the end. most of what I'm going to talk

28:20 is directly will need sam stones. start with provenance and within provenance.

28:29 about tectonics. Bill Dickinson was. no committee. Oh and some of

28:44 kind of pounded into thinking about how tectonic settings can affect the composition

28:59 So one setting is company deeply eroded relief. The second would be recycled

29:10 . You've got common congress provisions recycling sentiment volcanic a lot of relief I

29:18 of the Himalayas and a magmatic This case is continent too. Oceanic

29:30 a lot of volcanic plutonic relief. Platonic walks. Harvard it's pretty clear

29:37 these three tectonic settings are going to the potential for different types of source

29:46 and depending on how we can find using uh crystal of course and polly

29:57 here we can find these different The specific boundaries are different because the

30:08 counts are assembled different but they all arc setting recycled city and seven let's

30:26 take the atomic up left and a of and then as you get more

30:36 here over time the partridge are initially dissected as the dissection occurs. We're

30:48 deeper and deeper with recycled. We're box lifted fragments elevation. Now early

31:03 there were a lot of criticism about techniques. They were unrepresented economic

31:11 There were transitions between. There was roll of climate in depth this

31:18 And what about carbonate grains, other ? Okay, this happened built with

31:29 but what it means is um that can only use these if you can

31:40 closer at those other variables and we have more diagrams which we did.

31:49 increasingly we are drifting away from Petra graphic analysis for provenance. Most widely

32:04 area is a tribal zircons. And he said that we still are

32:14 composition using Q FL. Telegrams in because it does have use in I

32:24 cut it Robin is but also because has effects on die genesis as

32:32 So what about con one of the was maybe climate is affecting this.

32:42 here's mix out um study and look the same beginning. I feel much

32:55 in different ones. Oh, they're . They all built into the communist

33:12 provinces but where they said opinion Ben short mechanism references strokes. Climate gives

33:36 superimposed detail, johnson looking at the of amazon differences, sonic are not

33:46 even by long periods and hence tropical . So climate has an impact but

33:53 doesn't erase the tectonic signature. Now talked about mechanical wondering being mechanical disintegration

34:06 . No change in composition. Chemical by definition results in decomposition and the

34:15 in composition. So the solids that are changed and was added is re

34:26 solid into song. So if we at chemical weathering processes it's a process

34:35 solution mainly by oh well okay um and especially the dissolution of oxidation you're

34:58 or losing electron by the oxidation of vaccine to an iron oxide. Like

35:11 replacement of like potassium or calcium. had it in my drugs for example

35:20 alteration responding. These are the three process. Forget about hydration. So

35:28 we got. Where does that come ? Mainly in the soil. The

35:36 . 02 concentration in the soil zone be up to 1000 times more than

35:42 air. And that's because there's a of bacteria that are responding. Giving

35:49 a seat you take that take let's out potassium please. That's a couple

36:05 self exploration. Let's take that silicon just weathering down to an element of

36:16 box and it was kicking in This is the origin of Fort

36:25 So we're going with increasing alteration from night to Gibson. Okay so this

36:35 some of the different families of plays are the weathering products of silica

36:47 it's not just the about sports. could be making minerals as well if

36:54 look at this um any of the of silver minute, No, I'm

37:04 mixed or magic places and they give different big principles um play whether it's

37:18 depending on their history. So let's at uh this micro climb on

37:33 Look how much it's all the short it. Is that not all microplastics

37:50 most stable. Played little or so played twice society. It's pretty

38:00 So what you would expect is that potassium feldspar should be more abundant and

38:06 weather then the sports, which is course exactly what we saw here seat

38:19 stability, weathering stability for police. you, mimics bones reactions,

38:39 And as we crystalline silica is from first to crystallize at the highest temperatures

38:49 last to crystallize gap rose rose to . We can see and sequences now

39:08 used to teach that that was because , the minerals formed under the highest

39:15 and temperatures were most unstable under present , pressures. Just wrong. What

39:25 really is is that we're going from The three Dimensions Still Architecture Here.

39:35 the key here is that those covalin tester heater are tough to break

39:44 The first thing and the easiest thing break are isolated that aren't even bound

39:49 each other and a chain is easier a double chain. And a double

39:55 is easier than a sheet. and sheet is easier than a three

40:00 So what we're really seeing is the of Yeah, other amendments because are

40:15 precipitated my igneous processes and therefore aren't within reaction service a line counselor.

40:30 more durable these other because they are stable with sports. We'll try to

40:40 ready for you can if you get a woman. And so so when

40:50 think about the products of chemical think about she started what you end

40:59 in terms of solid bring of solid what put into solution. Yeah,

41:06 the way, in extreme cases of don't know anything. So here we've

41:15 our soil horizon organics and to hey you're teaching. This is where amazon

41:30 thick, each song being authorized in lives. Re precipitation. And then

41:38 course the rest, that's what we're here. But of course the sequence

41:46 thickness of those zones, barry's not much the secrets, but the components

41:53 secrets varies depending on climate. So we have an profits. Again,

42:02 and dissolution of neo most absolutely totally and metals leaving behind Neo members,

42:16 gonna be your clay and at the top of your ladder, it's now

42:24 go over here, they're still going get support from. But everything else

42:32 gonna be holiday down in here even . We dissolved the governments, they

42:47 all that two. And then in air zone well you got the relatively

43:01 re precipitation of calcite in a horizon you're not getting many, if any

43:12 . It's pretty much all apparent Notice this transition desert areas, the

43:38 you look what's happening to the death reach, all the council leaving behind

44:15 . So what we have in it's all out here. Thanks

44:27 So we get more of a contribution dissolve solids in an open system and

44:36 acidic soils because it's being flushed into . Now, the last thing I'm

44:45 talk about a little bit is compositional variation scale gas reservoirs. This

44:55 used classification we talked about earlier. is the Eagle. It is a

45:07 range and one of the some of shells. So I'm very fortunate appearance

45:29 out the age of the shale and the dominant pelagic organisms is a major

45:40 in determining the composition of the So up in here before the greens

45:50 the zone, the uh in low the the Cambrian, each of these

46:09 reflected in what's going on. We to get Radio Larry is in

46:15 Land plans save plans, performs an grasses. And so the biogenic component

46:28 your shales. We're very depending on biological productivity ball mass. It's changing

46:40 evolution. Okay, so what about talks about tectonics and climate. What

46:50 transportation do? Why should it The answer simply is we had side

46:57 abrasion. We had the addition extraction and we have chemical collusion. So

47:07 some of the things that result in changes. I'm great now dream decrease

47:16 distance, berries with composition obviously Right down by 4. 3 selective

47:29 . Final material was transported part of course. That's really only an important

47:34 in things like alluvial fans. It's less important in George rivers,

47:42 additional extraction that will be tributaries coming , extraction, deposition and basis chemical

47:52 . We can actually see in the where Mhm and our Kosik sediment becomes

48:06 quart Sarah Knight just in the weathering 100,000 years. Uh this is just

48:15 changes. Denberg. We've been known long time but we also figure

48:24 Not only a great song is grain sorted and again that may seem

48:30 , but it's really longer the sediment been transported. The more sorting has

48:38 on. Now. Wellness is a story. We look at rounding,

48:50 at changes in realm which just 100 upstream versus mom short transporting No

49:06 It's only when we begin to say Olean trans that we see the dunes

49:17 big increase in realities and the reason simply is that building they're great for

49:30 problems but not sand. Beach maybe to 0.2 millimeters aeolian. Do

49:41 You're fine grained sand. Why it to do with disgusting water and rivers

49:53 also niches a little less exam patient in in water grains don't hit each

50:01 as much because there's a water So And it's only about percussion that

50:10 you to curse. On the other , air has a much lower

50:15 things like so there's a lot of to grain content, an aeolian process

50:23 therefore much more rounded. Now we see downstream changes in composition, relative

50:35 , relative mechanically durable. And rocks more easily mechanically altered as well.

50:58 what you're looking at is the relative and mechanical durability. Oh different types

51:07 different types of forms, different types fragments. And the other thing turns

51:13 is is science. If you take big scoop of sand privilege, look

51:22 the relative amounts of very courses But then we get into reports,

51:35 and then good news is we don't those in our Q. Fl diagram

51:44 we do use the provenance. So I took a two FL driver and

51:50 poor spray sample might look like If I took it from.

52:00 back in general you can see them increases in in prince with increasing.

52:17 what does that tell you about Dickinson's ? Well, they are restricted in

52:25 grade sense. And meeting with But one of the things you have

52:30 do is make sure that you're comparing sounds great sense. The other thing

52:39 if you look at big rivers, you start and you're an area for

52:51 weather texted. Right? That's Get down here. You're gonna end

53:02 having to lift their numbers start with saying the region. And in some

53:11 you can actually get down reports here this is kind of summarized and they're

53:19 that reputation does not change. It not significantly change the conversation.

53:32 Or and or temporary storage and increase it's source shield much more. So

53:52 go from to look at all the in the end works it. So

54:15 you want a sandstone that gives you has preserved a climatic signature star with

54:32 uh second transform it works 3rd and deposit adult or low water system or

54:52 end of the the spanish place and shallow burial district. Early segmentation.

55:03 eliminates the the mature extension continental Robbins founded by basement believe it looks

55:14 . Those are where you preserve the signature most carefully. The oppositional

55:23 It does have that effect. If look at transition thing sorted will be

55:42 14 11-3 28 8 24 to 15 was here 68 20 Morning California.

55:57 one of my students. 50 - . So we see a progressive loss

56:03 your mechanically less durable period. These are just one of them

56:13 Um his studies trying to improve on petra graphic solution for program using different

56:29 . Excuse chemistry. Everything you think the conclusions are results can't be extended

56:41 to get serious are the best approach in this case? Yeah, you

56:52 recognize differences between alluvial. The only that's because the source is different and

57:02 flu real fans don't preserve the meteorology whether it was limited to inherit down

57:09 , it's unlikely a globally applicable set elementary analyses. Elemental analysis can be

57:17 . Rather you're gonna have to a of stuff. So the point is

57:24 you do want to measure composition. do want to get the cat,

57:26 do want to do a lot of but do not rely on any one

57:35 and recognize the variables and constraints like Quiet source. Okay, I'm gonna

57:43 with die genesis action simulation going from of primary Iranian ferocity to increase the

58:04 pastilles. So here we see reduction philosophy into pressure solution and and deformation

58:21 a great my God, rock think should have been lost. Oops !

58:42 it was here and now it's We've already talked about the fact that

58:54 can have this solution of the chemically stable rock fragments are minerals, you

59:01 have loss of primary precipitation by But fortunately with the potential later

59:10 secondary porosity or you can see the loss of ferocity to the ports.

59:18 shin, you can see a night that was originally a detrimental health part

59:34 you can see the dissolution of Please with increased dissolution along the twin

59:51 , we see that different composition. stones compact and lose primary prostate.

60:01 with depth differently with lipstick bells bars the same depth, that same

60:11 having the lowest prostate towards sandstone is highest. But then we find it

60:20 interesting problem. Not probably observation that percent clay coding under napoleon ports,

60:29 affects the integrator of ferocity and if have no courts, I'm sorry.

60:39 , they're trying to play. This the rate at which You lose porosity

60:50 about 2000 ft. On the other , if you have 100% play coding

60:58 doesn't change hardly at all. 2000 6000. And then compare that with

61:09 range of prostate changes with sandstone. pregnant census. We'll talk about why

61:22 clay coding is important, but the answer is that if you have that

61:26 grain completely coated with, depending on time with an epi matrix with a

61:35 coating of the grain, you can't that optically contiguous courts, cement

61:43 There's just no place for it to . Now this thing would be shales

61:56 with high porosity, shales process and the way, I'm using shale in

62:01 way you shouldn't use it, which say it's mud rock. But all

62:07 here are some porosity reductions of mud with depth that's comparing it with the

62:13 types of sand stones. one thing emphasize with ferocity of shells, Inter

62:23 porosity is very, is the important for stances are consist, if all

62:32 this is poor, take this little area here. That's an organic chris

62:43 these are the micro porosity ease that get in ship and notice they're

62:55 They're on the order of nana the different types of tourists, clay

63:07 , organic ferocity, people pellets also micro channels. This is all the

63:17 porosity and permeability that you have to with in shales and we had fun

63:25 lastly the composition of the shape determines physical properties. One all mud rocks

63:38 highly anisotropy. They show clearly in some are more ductile, some are

63:47 british. If you want to frack you want to it to be brilliant

63:55 don't try to fry conductor, which saying mud rocks with a lot of

64:00 and organics West 15 counseling productive, the carbonate felt one force they're

64:12 So what we look here is that you go With more than 50 calcite

64:26 or uh boards you're getting the most shells and therefore the ones most likely

64:42 for Well simulation. The most effective component is re crystallized biogenic copeland

64:53 It gives you this framework of court . So what is the worst for

65:01 nights is ironically almost the best for . Their tribal courts on the other

65:09 , that's so good. Okay, that's all I'm gonna talk about.

65:19 , That's all I want to talk directly about composition. It's the only

65:24 I'm gonna talk about. Well, will revisit these variables as we look

65:31 each of the case studies and each the deposition requirements, so thus in

65:36 texture composition. And we can stop
