The construction of the chart was under the supervision of Frank E. Kottlowski, and authors of the columns prepared individual data sheets for each of the stratigraphic units that appears in the geological columns. This is a presentation of the documentation records prepared by the authors of the first five columns of the chart. Contributing authors of the columns were: G. Haxel, R. A. Knepp, S. J. Rey­ nolds, S. Thompson III, and J. Wright. The COSUNA project was under the direction of Orlo E. Childs. The Correlation of Stratigraphic Units of North America (COSUNA) was a project of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists which has resulted in the publication of sixteen correlation charts depicting modern concepts of the stratigraphy of our nation. On the Southwestern/Southwestern Mid-Continent (SSMC) Correlation Chart 31 complete stratigraphic columns are shown, representing all of the Geological Provinces of the re­ gion. Organized by columns numbered from left to right, the Data Sheet Records (each with its own unique Reference Number) of each column are shown here as they are presented on diskettes for use on Personal Computers. Copies of the diskettes are available from the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. These Records are meant to supplement the COSUNA chart, by presenting useful documentation of the information on which the columns were con­ structed by authors of the chart. It should be noted that some of the names of Stratigraphic Units are presented within--quotation marks. This means that there is some question about the applica­ tion of tFi'eSe strat~phic names to the unit, and that the name may be incorrectly
