Role of quartz type and grain size in silica diagenesis, …
Silica-cement-dominated intervals within the Nugget Sandstone illustrate several relationships involving pressure solution and initial silica cementation as influenced by clast size and quartz grain type. For medium-sand-size, nonundulose, undulose, and polycrystalline quartz, the portion of grains with well-developed silica overgrowths …
