Abstract
Subsidence Rates in Oklahoma During the Paleozoic
ABSTRACT
Three distinct geotectonic settings can be recognized in Paleozoic Oklahoma. In the southeast the Ouachitas record a history of ocean development and subsequent orogeny. In the southwest a rapidly subsiding basin, the Southern Oklahoma Aulacogen, trapped great thicknesses of carbonate during the lower Paleozoic. Following a major tectonic pulse, sedimentation resumed in the late Mississippian in a number of relatively modest intracratonic basins of which the Anadarko Basin is the most significant. Elsewhere in Oklahoma basin development was stilted and epeiric forces controlled sediment preservation in an orthodox cratonic setting.
