Title: Subsurface Geology of Wilson County, Kansas

Author(s): W. L. Stryker

Abstract:

The areal geology of Wilson County and the geologic section to the base of the Pennsylvanian are briefly described. The geologic section of the Mississippian and older strata and the surface on the Mississippian are described in detail. The structure of the Pennsylvanian is considered and the hypothesis is advanced that many of the anticlinal and domal structures of the surface Pennsylvanian strata are due to settling over irregularities on the Mississippian surface and lenses of sand in the Pennsylvanian strata. The relation of the deposition of the Pennsylvanian sediments to irregularities on the Mississippian surface is examined and the conclusion is reached that the positions of many of the sand lenses in the Cherokee shales were determined by these irregularities. Th structure of the pre-Pennsylvanian strata is considered.
