A mechanical well log study of the popular interval of the Mississippian Madison Formation in North Dakota
… and carbonates forms the uppermost part of the Mississippian Madison Forr.1ation in western North Dakota. A detailed mechanical well log study of the Poplar interval in North Dakota was conducted to interpret the Poplar's regional geology and to attempt to locate areas with potential for …

Sedimentary Depositional Cyclicity, Mission Canyon and Charles Formations (Mississippian), Williston Basin, North Dakota
… the carbonate and evaporite succession of the Mississippian Madison Group. Descriptions of cyclicity are diverse and commonly conflict. Previous work has been exclusively qualitative. This study used a group of statistical techniques in a method designed specifically for the objective …

Depositional cycles and coral distribution, Mission Canyon and Charles Formations, Madison Group (Mississippian), Williston Basin, North Dakota
… Alberta indicates a connection between the Mississippian Alberta shelf and the Madison depositional complex in North Dakota.</p> <p>As the result of this study, four coral zonules are proposed for the Williston Basin of North Dakota; in ascending order they are: the Stelechophyllum micrum …

Analysis of petroleum source rocks of the Bakken Formation (Devonian and Mississippian) in North Dakota
<p>The Bakken Formation of North Dakota consists of upper and lower, black, organic-rich shales separated by a calcareous siltstone middle member. The formation is a relatively thin unit (maximum thickness of 145 feet) with the lower shale .attaining a maximum thickness of 50 feet and the upper …

Depositional environments and diagenesis of the Mississippian Bottineau interval (Lodgepole) in North Dakota
… marine transgression/regression cycle, Early Mississippian (lower Scallion subinterval) marine transgression from the restricted depositional environment of the Bakken Formation resulted in normal marine circulation, Six major facies were developed: (1) the central basin, (2) basin flank, (3) …

Petroleum potential of the Tilston interval (Mississippian) of central North Dakota
… upper anhy drite in the predominantly carbonate Mississippian Madison Formation. The interval consists of four major facies (subtidal, shoal, tidal flat and supratidal anhydrite), and two geographically restricted facies (lagoonal and elastic) and represents a regressive sequence. </p><p> Tilston …

Depositional environments and diagenesis of the Ratcliffe interval, Madison group (Mississippian), Williston Basin, North Dakota
… unit in the Williston Basin. It is Mississippian in age and crosscuts the lower Charles and upper Mission Canyon Formations of the Madison Group. Study of cross-sections, well core, and thinsections show that the Ratcliffe is comprised of six major facies: 1) …

Conodonts of the Bakken Formation (Devonian and Mississippian), Williston Basin, North Dakota
… Palmatolepis, and Branmehla. Twenty-one biostratigraphically useful species of these genera were identified. Conodonts are unevenly distributed in the Bakken Formation. Most were obtained from thin (about 0.2 in., 0.5 cm), fossil-rich beds in the upper shale. Only rare, fragmentary conodonts …

Diagenesis of the middle member of the Bakken Formation, Williston Basin, North Dakota
… the well. The “trait beds” were inserted in a stratigraphic column of members of the Bakken Formation to compare their structure to the Bakken Formation over the course of the cross section. No distinct patterns were revealed though a larger sample of wells and cores may provide different …

Stratigraphy and depositional setting of the Carrington shale facies (Mississippian) of the Williston Basin
… margin of the Williston basin during Early Mississippian time.</p> <p>The Scallion subinterval, which is the basal subunit of the Bottineau interval of the Madison Formation in North Dakota, is divisible into six lithologic facies, one of which is the Carrington shale facies. West of the …

Late Mississippian (Chesterian) high-frequency climate change in the Pennington Formation at Pound Gap, KY USA.
Climate during the Late Mississippian (Late Chesterian) in the southern Appalachian Basin was characterized by periods of aridity and humidity. The Pennington Formation, exposed at Pound Gap, KY, USA records these changing climatic conditions. The climate signal, however, is partially obscured by …

Deposition and diagenesis of a portion of the Frobisher-Alida Interval (Mississippian Madison Group), Wiley Field, North Dakota
… interval, in particular, the Glenburn bed or the Mississippian Mission canyon Formation. Wireline logs and cores from closely spaced wells in, and adjacent to, the Wiley Field, Williston Basin, North Dakota were examined. Information derived from the wireline logs was used to construct several …
