    OZARK UPLIFT PROVINCE (057) By Joseph R. Hatch INTRODUCTION The Ozark Uplift Province covers approximately 53,000 sq mi in eastern and southern Missouri (76 counties) and northern Arkansas (10 counties). The province is bounded on the north by the Iowa Shelf Province (052), on the east by the Illinois Basin Province (064), on the south by the Arkoma Basin Province (058), and on the west by the Cherokee Platform (060) and Forest City Basin (056) Provinces. The major structural element in the province is the domal Ozark Uplift, from which sedimentary rocks have been eroded, leaving approximately 350 sq mi of Precambrian granite exposed in the core area. The sedimentary cover in the Ozark Uplift Province averages less than 2000 ft and primarily consists of dolomites and sandstones of Cambrian and lower Ordovician age. A generalized stratigraphic column for the province is shown in figure 2. In the western part of the Ozark area, Mississippian rocks overlap lower Ordovician rocks, and Middle Ordovician, Silurian, and Devonian rocks are absent. Middle Ordovician, Middle Devonian, Mississippian, and Pennsylvanian rocks are generally present in the counties north of the Missouri River (Adler and others, 1971). One conventional hypothetical play has been defined for this province, Middle Ordovician (Champlainian) Play (5701). ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Scientists affiliated with the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and from various State geological surveys contributed significantly to play concepts and definitions. Their contributions are gratefully acknowledged. CONVENTIONAL PLAYS 5701. MIDDLE ORDOVICIAN (CHAMPLAINIAN) PLAY (HYPOTHETICAL) The hypothetical Middle Ordovician (Champlainian) Play in the Ozark Uplift Province is based on (1) current hydrocarbon production from age-equivalent rocks in the adjacent Illinois Basin and Forest City Basin Provinces (064 and 056); (2) the presence of potentially good to excellent hydrocarbon source rocks in the Middle Ordovician section; and (3) the presence of potential sandstone and porous dolomite and limestone reservoirs.
