Title: Convergence Studies in the Mid-Continent Region

Author(s): A. I. Levorsen

Abstract:

The object of this paper is to direct attention to the northwestward convergence, or decreasing thickness, of the Pennsylvanian rocks of eastern Oklahoma, as a very important phase of structural geology and stratigraphy. This convergence is considered from the standpoint of (1) its amount, (2) its application to some common geological problems such as correlations, local structure, depths to lower formations, surface structures, and subsurface faulting, and (3) its comparison with the convergence of north Texas. The conclusion is drawn that the Bend Arch and the Ozark uplift have a common origin and are to be correlated as part of the same structural unit.
