Title: Highlights of Washington and Oregon Biostratigraphy: ABSTRACT

Author(s): R. Stanley Beck

Article Type: Meeting abstract

Abstract:

The biostratigraphy of type and classical localities of Washington and Oregon is discussed. Special emphasis is given to the Astoria, Cowlitz, Olympic peninsula and Coos Bay basins. Strata from Devonian to Recent are known from these areas and have a combined thickness of over 30,000 feet. These basins, as well as others, are possible areas in which oil and gas might be discovered in the future. Favorable as well as unfavorable geologic conditions will be discussed concerning oil possibilities of the Pacific Northwest.
