DOWNLOAD EBOOKWork during the quarter was devoted to final interpretation, integration, and compilation of surface stratigraphic and petrologic data into deliverable documents for DOE, MERC. As of September, two such documents have been prepared. A thesis on black-shale outcrop stratigraphy from the two eastern Kentucky outcrop belts has been completed and will be included with the annual report and a thesis on the thin-section petrology of three eastern Kentucky cores has also been completed and will be included with the annual report. Also during this quarter the transition to two new parts of the project was started including map compilation and a paleontological--paleoecological study. Compilation of isopach, lithofacies, and structural contour maps depends largely on completion of the well-log inventory from which all the data are generated. At present, well-log inventories for 37 of the 41 eastern Kentucky counties (90%) have been completed. Work has begun, however, on compiling data from the completed county inventories. Work has also begun on the paleontological--paleoecological portion of the project. A research assistant has been found to complete a thesis study on this part of the project and he is currently engaged in preliminary research.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBlack shale studies have focussed on their geochemistry, stratigraphy, and subsurface characterization, and on the compilation of an archive of cored material. Technical progress made in these areas are reported. In addition, two Master's theses prepared under the stratigraphic study project and one under the geochemical study project are included and are abstracted and indexed separately. (JSR).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDuring this quarter, most efforts were devoted to completing collection of field data from black-shale sections in order to meet a scheduled milestone at the end of December. Fourteen sections were described and measured, 12 from the outcrop belt on the eastern flank of the Cincinnati and two from the Pine Mountain outcrop belt. Five of Linda Provo's seven radioactive units were traced along the outcrop belts where possible. At the southern end of each outcrop belt, the units became increasingly difficult to differentiate, due to marked thinning on approaching the Cincinnati Arch. This thinning is evident from north to south in that successive basal units drop out southward. In northern parts of the outcrop belt, the basal unit in the black shale is unit 5, but in the southernmost section, unit 3 is the basal unit. Both units 5 and 4 have pinched out in the intervening distance. Work is also continuing on the petrographic study of core material and on the well-log inventory. Initial examination and point counting is nearly complete. Microfacies are being identified in the core, but all interpretations are preliminary. The well-log inventory for two more counties, Powell and Wolfe, were completed and the inventory for Magoffin has been started. An isopach map of unit 1 (Cleveland Shale Mbr.) from the northeastern part of the state, where the inventory is complete, has also been started. A study of the clay-mineral stratigraphy from selected cores and outcrops has also been started in conjunction with the geochemical group. Abstracts of reports containing project data and information on new techniques are included. (JRD).
