Title: Paleozoic Formations Near Cody, Park County, Wyoming

Author(s): T. F. Stipp (2)

Abstract:

A well exposed section of Paleozoic strata ranging in age from Cambrian to Permian occurs in Shoshone River Canyon, 5 miles west of Cody. The section was measured and described in order to obtain information to facilitate well correlation in the Big Horn Basin. The measured section shows an average thickness of 3,200 feet. No Silurian strata have so far been recognized. In the Oregon Basin oil and gas field, 17 miles southeast of Shoshone Canyon, a recent well, drilled to the pre-Cambrian basement, penetrated a Paleozoic section, totaling approximately 3,000 feet in thickness. Examination of the well cores and bit cuttings showed the surface and well sections to be similar. A slight thinning of the section southeastward from the mountains is indicated. A correlation chart showing the two sections accompanies this paper.
