Abstract
Cathodoluminescence and Composition of Calcite Cement in the Taum Sauk Limestone (Upper Cambrian), Southeast Missouri
James R. Frank (2), Alden B. Carpenter (3), Thomas W. Oglesby (4)
ABSTRACT
Study of calcite cements in the Taum Sauk Limestone (Upper Cambrian, southeast Missouri) using cathodoluminescence petrography and microprobe analysis has shown that: 1) distinct luminescent zones correspond to distinct compositional zones; 2) the degree of luminescent intensity of a particular calcite zone appears to be controlled by the Fe/Mn ratio of the zone, not by the absolute concentrations of either cation; 3) manganese may induce luminescence in calcite at concentrations as low as 300 ppm; and 4) there may be no critical concentration of ferrous iron in calcite above which there can be no luminescene.
