Abstract
Correlation of Cherokee (Desmoinesian) Sandstones of the Missouri-Kansas-Oklahoma Tri-State Area
Abstract
Traditional stratigraphic classification of the sandstone-bearing Cherokee Group (Desmoinesian) in southeastern Kansas and contiguous areas has not recognized the uncertainty of correlation from type areas of the Bluejacket and Warner Sandstones in northeastern Oklahoma, across poor exposures in Kansas, to outcrops of similar appearing sandstones in Missouri. New data, logs and cores of recently drilled shallow test holes, suggest that the "Bluejacket" of Missouri is older than the Bluejacket Sandstone Member of the Boggy Formation of Oklahoma and that the "Warner" of Missouri is younger than the Warner Sandstone Member of the McAlester Formation of Oklahoma. All four sandstones are present in some subsurface locations in Kansas. The discontinuity of these sandstones is explained by their origin as alluvial-deltaic sands.
