Pliocene trace fossils from oyster substrates in the Nijar Basin, Betic Cordillera, southern Spain (2021)
Journal Article
Donovan, S. K., Jones, S. J., King, A. R., & Harper, D. A. (2021). Pliocene trace fossils from oyster substrates in the Nijar Basin, Betic Cordillera, southern Spain. Proceedings of the Geologists' Association, 132(3), 358-368. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pgeola.2021.02.004

The Almería-Níjar Basin is a Neogene, intermontane depression marginal to the Mediterranean in southern Spain in the vicinity of El Argamasón, Andalucia. The Pliocene Cuevas Formation rests unconformably on the Upper Messinian rock succession in the...

Role played by clay content in controlling reservoir quality of submarine fan system, Forties Sandstone Member, Central Graben, North Sea (2021)
Journal Article
Bello, A. M., Jones, S. J., Gluyas, J. G., Acikalin, S., & Cartigny, M. (2021). Role played by clay content in controlling reservoir quality of submarine fan system, Forties Sandstone Member, Central Graben, North Sea. Marine and Petroleum Geology, 128, Article 105058. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2021.105058

Proximal to distal fan change in grain size, clay matrix content, and grain-coating clays have been identified as key contributing factors for eservoir quality evolution of submarine fan turbidite sandstones. This study evaluated the role played by g...

Experimental study of chlorite authigenesis and influence on porosity maintenance in sandstones (2021)
Journal Article
Charlaftis, D., Jones, S., Dobson, K., Crouch, J., & Acikalin, S. (2021). Experimental study of chlorite authigenesis and influence on porosity maintenance in sandstones. Journal of Sedimentary Research, 91(2), 197-212. https://doi.org/10.2110/jsr.2020.122

Chlorite is recognized as a key mineral for preserving reservoir quality in deeply buried sandstones, as chlorite coatings inhibit the nucleation of quartz overgrowths. A limited understanding of the mechanisms and conditions under which these authig... Read More about Experimental study of chlorite authigenesis and influence on porosity maintenance in sandstones.
