Research has been conducted into the diagenesis of the Luxembourg Sandstone. Literature studies were followed by a visit to the outcrop, after which thin sections were studied. The Luxembourg Sandstone Formation has been deposited in the Hettangian and Sinemurian, both lower Jurassic ages. A sea strait connecting the Northern German Basin and the Paris Basin was located in present day Luxembour...

Small-scale probe permeability measurements on differently oriented faces of highly compacted and quartz-cemented Viking Formation sandstones yield detailed permeability distributions that appear to be diagnostic of the grainand lamina-scale fabric of the samples. Permeability anisotropy of a single ‘structureless'-appearing sample is low, reflected by a kV / kH-ratio of 0.7; corresponding k-di...

Rocks and fossils do not come with labels informing us of their age. They must be understood in light of their geologic context, and interpreted within a worldview. Unfortunately, my evolutionary colleagues are often so dominated by uniformitarian brainwashing they can't objectively understand young-Earth evidence. Nevertheless, some of the evidence is clear and open for all to see. One such cl...

Mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) measurements are widely used to determine pore throat size distribution (PSD) curves of porous materials. The pore throat size of porous materials has been used to estimate their compressive strength and air permeability. However, the effect of sample size on the determined PSD curves is often overlooked. In pursuit of a better understanding of the effect of ...

OF AN ADDRESS BY MR. RAY STANNARD BAKER By its recent decision that in the case of Berea College of Kentucky, the Supreme Court of the United States enters upon the problem of limitation of democracy in America, and it thus upholds, though guardedly and in a limited sense, the position of the South on the Negro question. And the position of the South is one of unbelief in a democracy which incl...

Formation drying and salt precipitation due to gas injection or production can have serious consequences for upstream operations in terms of injectivity and productivity. Recently evidence has been found that the complexity of the pore space and the respective capillary driven solute transport plays a key role for the relationship of permeability and porosity. In this study, we investigate dryo...

Calcite cement is the dominant control on reservoir quality in turbidite sandstones of the Upper Permian Bell Canyon Formation, Delaware Basin. These well-sorted, very fine-grained arkoseswere deposited in a basin-floor setting by channel-levee systems terminating in broad lobes. Calcite cement distribution in the East Ford and Geraldine Ford fields was mapped using core, log, and thin-section ...

a r t i c l e i n f o The Upper Cretaceous John Henry Member of the Straight Cliffs Formation preserves regressive shoreface and channel facies, and transgressive lagoonal tidal inlet facies that suggest distinct modal sandstone compositions. Detrital modes from six sandstone facies (upper shoreface, lower shoreface, deflected mouth bars, fluvial channels, tidal inlets and washover fans), and t...

We would like to thank John Bound, Kerwin Charles, Stacy Dickert-Conlin, Lance Lochner and numerous seminar participants for very useful comments and suggestions. We are grateful for support from The Mellon Foundation, The University of Kentucky Center for Poverty Research, The Spencer Foundation, The National Science Foundation, The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, and Berea Co...
