Most of the Lyons sandstone consists of a red diagenetic facies. The red facies which is barren of petroleum is characterized by hematite, clay, quartz overgrowths and calcite cement (Lee, 1997). Also the Lyons sandstone consist of a gray facies, distinguished from the red facies by anhydrite and dolomite cement that overlie bitumen stains and by a lack of hematite and calcite. Lyons is characterized by a well sorted quartz sandstone containing about 75% of subangular to subrounded grains of quartz, bounded together by various matrix cementing materials. Samples range from orthoquarzites to subarcosas containing plagioclase, mosvcovite and minor rock fragments.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "Rock mineralogy for Lyons Sandstone, Denver Basin", "title": "Lyons Rock Mineralogy", "tags": [], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": "NaN", "maxScale": "NaN", "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "Adams, J., and Patton, J., 1979, Sebkha- Dune Deposition in the Lyons Formation (Permian) Northern Front Range, Colorado: The Mountain Geologist, v.16, no. 2, p.47-57.", "licenseInfo": "", "portalUrl": "" }
