September 15, 1939 Volume 24 Number 5 BULLETIN of the AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PETROLEUM GEOLOGISTS MAY, 1940 MISSISSIPPIAN BORDER OF EASTERN INTERIOR BASING J. MARVIN WELLER2 and A. H. SUTTON^ Urbana, Illinois ABSTRACT The Mississippian system along the borders of the Eastern Interior basin has been studied in considerable detail during the last 30 years but the results of most of this work have not yet been published. This paper briefly discusses the stratigraphy, pale- ontology, sedimentation, and structure and lists petroleum-bearing beds of the Missis- sippian system in Illinois, Indiana, western Kentucky, eastern Missouri, and south- eastern Iowa as based on the published and unpublished investigations of more than 25 geologists and their numerous assistants, who worked mainly under the auspices of the various State geological surveys. Accompanying maps show the areal geology from Mercer County, Illinois, to Putnam County, Indiana, and include more than fifty 15-minute quadrangles which have been studied in detail. INTRODUCTION In 1913 a cooperative plan of study and correlation of the Missis- sippian formations of the upper Mississippi Valley was developed by the several State geological surveys of the area and the United States Geological Survey. This work was placed under the supervision of Professor Stuart Weller, who had been actively engaged in a study of the Mississippian faunas for more than 15 years and who had begun the detailed mapping of the upper Mississippian strata in southern Illinois in 191 1. As results of this cooperative investigation there have appeared two important volumes on the lower Mississippian of Iowa and Missouri, respectively (67, 41).'* Other volumes on the Mississippian formations of western Kentucky (7) and the lower Mississippian of ^ Read before the Association at Oklahoma City, March 24, 1939.

Ls., limestone; ss., sandstone; sh., shale; fm., formation. MISSISSIPPIAN OF EASTERN INTERIOR BASIN 767 Missouri (4) have also been published, but these were not a part of the cooperative program. All of these reports were based on recon- naissance studies. Professor Weller's own investigations, which continued without interruption until his death in 1927, as well as the work of others under his supervision, involved the detailed mapping of the Missis- sippian formations in southwestern Missouri, across southern Illinois, and well into western Kentucky. Although reports on detailed studies in certain restricted areas have been issued (32, 56, 68, 87, 88,90, 94, 96), publication of the results of most of this work was deferred in anticipation of a series of monographs long planned by Professor Weller but hardly begun before his death. After 1927, Mississippian studies in western Kentucky were con- tinued under the direction of Sutton, and by 1932 mapping of the formations was nearly completed throughout the zone of outcrop from St. Louis, Missouri, to Louisville, Kentucky. In western Illinois north of St. Louis, detailed studies of the Mis- sissippian system have been made in connection with a number of separate quadrangle surveys, but the deep covering of glacial drift and uncertainty regarding the exact position of several formational bound- aries make it impossible as yet to delineate accurately the areal geology throughout this region. The belt of Mississippian outcrop in southwestern Indiana has been studied mainly in reconnaissance because of the lack of topo- graphic maps, but the recent work of C. A. Malott and P. B. Stock- dale has added much to the knowledge of this region. As detailed information concerning the Mississippian system and particularly its upper division, the Chester series, has accumulated, a growing need has been felt for a report or series of reports describing its stratigraphy and structure. This paper is presented as a prelimi- nary report outlining in a unified manner the latest and most complete information available concerning the Mississippian system on the borders of the Eastern Interior basin. It embodies data obtained by more than twenty-five geologists and their numerous assistants work- ing mainly under the auspices of the various State geological surveys. Permission to use much unpublished information and many manu- script maps has been granted by the chief of the Illinois State Geologi- cal Survey, the director of the Kentucky Geological Survey, the State geologist of Indiana, and the director of the Missouri Bureau of Geology and Mines. Professor Weller's extensive and detailed studies, with which the writers are intimately acquainted, have provided the foundation of " ' — 1 —1 1 ^--^^i**r-r— r— 1— '^ 1 \ i^fcl ! \ ^Mm^ ' 1 T- 1 1 /oo^ ^^^\ '^ j^K-^--' /l ^^p^^ 9 • ^^t'• 1 1 y ^H " 1 1 /i^^ff 1 1 ® ' >'''''ii^^^^^^^>ss^' 1 1 i_ ' i ^^^^•- 1 1 < 4 lE 1 2 , yy^/yv/y^^Tzi: L 3 i ^ [ 'W _3 J f_J x//^*//xyyyj^^^S 1 ' '6 1- t ' -^;-— i^^^^^^^^feS- V5^-: ;p 7' -.tv^^^iZ^Z^ ' ' L ^- ^f ' i ^&- 1 \}r ' j^^i^^ 1 I 1^' / ^Xv^^v^^v^v^^^^^^^^^^^^' V K i ^ '^ 1 120 J _ ^ i 1 i ^^B^.

EHLERS AKD ROBERT V. ICESLING Museum of Paleontology, The University of Michigan .~BsTR.~~T-AII~~~~specimens collected many years ago bl- the senior author and his students near Mill Springs, Kentucky, are a new species of Agaricocrinzis and a new speries of Actino- crinites. Although only one specimen of each is known, it is well preserved. The new Agnrico- crinus bears a resemblance to A. ponderoszts Wood, and the new Actinocriniles to four species described by Miller & Gurley: A. spergenensis, A. botuztosz~s,A. gibsoni, and A. shnronensis. A preliminary survey of species assigned to Agaricocrinz~ssuggests that revision of the genus is overdue. Although the occurrence of the specimens leaves some doubt as to their stratigraphic posi- tion, we conclude that they both probably weathered from the Fort Payne formation and rolled down the slope onto the New Providence, where they were found. The sites where the crinoids were picked up are now deeply inundated by water impounded by the Wolf Creek dam on the Cumberland River. INTRODUCTION onto the New Providence, \$here they were OTH of the new crinoids described here are found. rZt present, both the New Providence B from Lower Mississippian rocks in the valley formation and the I~asalbeds of the Fort Payne of the Cumberland River in Wayne and Russell are underwater at the type locality of the new Counties, Kentucky.

  • Columnals (PDF)
    2248 22482 2 4 V. INDEX OF COLUMNALS 8 Remarks: In this section the stratigraphic range given under the genus is the compiled range of all named species based solely on columnals assigned to the genus. It should be noted that this range may and often differs considerably from the range given under the same genus in Section I, because that range is based on species identified on cups or crowns. All other abbreviations and format follow that of Section I. Generic names followed by the type species are based on columnals. Genera, not followed by the type species, are based on cups and crowns as given in Section I. There are a number of unlisted columnal taxa from the literature that are indexed as genera recognized on cups and crowns. Bassler and Moodey (1943) did not index columnal taxa that were not new names or identified genera with the species unnamed. I have included some of the omissions of Bassler and Moodey, but have not made a search of the extensive literature specifically for the omitted citations because of time constraints. Many of these unlisted taxa are illustrated in the early state surveys of the eastern and central United States. Many of the columnal species assigned to genera based on cups or crowns are incorrect assignments. An uncertain, but significant, number of the columnal genera are synonyms of other columnal genera as they are based on different parts of the stem of a single taxon. Also a number of the columnal genera are synonyms of genera based on cups and crowns as they come from more distal parts of the stem not currently known to be associated with the cup or crown.
