Quartz growth : understanding porosity-preserving microcrystalline quartz through EBSD, TEM, and NanoSIMS examination of low temperature silica

Deeply buried sandstones in sedimentary basins typically have low porosity due to cementation and compaction. Formation of microcrystalline quartz has proven to be effective at preserving porosity in deeply buried sandstone petroleum reservoirs, typically cemented by syntaxial quartz cement. There r...
