Stratigraphic Architecture of the Kinderhookian

to Meramecian Series

by Kurt Rottmann

• Goals– To define the geometry of Meramecian/Osagean

deposits in north central Oklahoma

– Build a stratigraphic column for north central

Oklahoma

• Define Kinderhookian and Woodford Strata

• Define Osagean wedge deposits

• Define possible Osagean Cowley Fm. In Oklahoma

• Define Meramecian deposits

• Define “Chat” deposits

– Use the correlation developed to help operators

explore for oil and gas
