First sentence: Structure maps on the Stone Corral formation of Permian age and on the Lansing group of Pennsylvanian age for 10 oil fields in central and western Kansas are compared.
Description: The Stone Corral formation of Permian age is the youngest formation that is both widely distributed and lithologically distinctive. It is, therefore, a good marker and is commonly used in structural work involving the pre-Cretaceous rocks of western Kansas. It is the purpose of this paper to demonstrate that the Stone Corral reflects the structure of the older beds and thus is a good indicator of structure of the Pennsylvanian rocks and especially the Lansing group at depth in western Kansas.
