Abstract
The Depositional Environment of the Pennsylvanian Upper Marchand Sandstones Northern Caddo County, Oklahoma
Abstract
The Upper Marchand Sandstones, a lower member of the Hoxbar Group of the Pennsylvanian-Missourian Series, are indicated by geometric and internal features to be part of a clastic, shallow marine, tidal-dominated system. This system is characterized by coastal-intertidal flats drained by tidal channels in conjunction with basinward subtidal rhythmic sand ridges and depressions. Up to 80 ft of Marchand Sandstone, probably reworked from sediments derived from the Wichita and Ouachita uplifts, were distributed by tidal currents into erosional depressions commonly associated with subtidal sand ridges. Shelfward, intertidal flats principally drained by a series of tidal channels repeatedly prograded and receded during the Upper Marchand interval.
