... Triticites ventricosus , indicates both biostratinomy and diagenesis of the assemblage in the Hughes Creek Shale Member of the Foraker Limestone (Pennsylvanian, Virgilian) in east-central Kansas. The excellent preservation of these specimens provides valuable insight into the taphonomic process...

... and a laboratory study of the dolomitic conglomerates were made under the direction of G. L. Knight, of the department of geology, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. A vertical section from the base of the Foraker limestone to the top of the Garber sandstone is shown in Figure 1 . All but the lower...

... wells throughout the field. The upper sands of this zone carry the gas which supplies the field while the lower sands invariably carry water. Below this series there is about 120 feet of blue shale underlain by a red bed 10 to 40 feet in thickness. This red bed overlies the Foraker limestone which...

... feet above the base of the Permian (top of the Foraker limestone). The Tonkawa field is located in Townships 24 and 25 North, Range 1 West, in Kay and Noble counties, Oklahoma ( Fig. 1 ). Its location is near the center of the northern Oklahoma district, which includes fields in Kay, Noble, Grant...

... to the lack of persistent key beds. The Foraker limestone is found 500 feet below the Fort Riley, but it is not easily recognized. The first dependable correlation to be made is on the Tonkawa sand found at a depth of 2,000 feet. The section between the Tonkawa sand and the Layton sand, found at 2,700 feet...

.... Council Grove group .—The Council Grove group ranges in thickness from 330 feet in well No. 1 to 520 feet in well No. 19, and comprises the rocks from the base of the Wreford limestone to the base of the Foraker limestone. The Cottonwood, Grenola, Red Eagle, and Foraker limestones are differentiated...

... limestone bed below the surface is the 12-foot-thick Cottonwood limestone of Permian age. The depths to this bed range from 85 to 135 feet along the profile. The Neva limestone of Permian age and the Foraker limestone of Pennsylvanian age are at depths of 190 and 300 feet, respectively, below the surface...

..., the base of the Wolfcamp is the base of the Wanette as defined by Darsie A. Green, 16 or the first disconformity below the Foraker limestone. In Kansas and Nebraska, it is the base of the Admire. 17 The Wolfcamp-Leonard disconformity was determined in the Stanolind, Williams No. 1, at the base...

... of these channels may clarify some of the confusion in the subsurface correlation and surface identification of these units. The present study was restricted to the upper 150 feet of Pennsylvanian rocks and the lower 100 feet of Permian rocks (Willard shale up to the base of the Foraker limestone). Wabaunsee...

.... Janesville shale: —The Janesville shale is defined to include strata between the Foraker limestone, above, and the Falls City limestone, below. The name is derived from Janesville Township, Greenwood County, Kansas, and the type section is exposed in a cut on an east-west road in the SW. 1 4 , SE...

... of the sequence is composed of buff to gray fossiliferous limestone and gray shale. This basal marine sequence, 148 feet thick, includes the Grenola and Foraker limestones of Kansas. The Admire shale, 100 feet thick, underlies the undifferentiated Sumner, Chase, and Council Grove groups in well 4...

... unconformities are shown, one about 100 feet below the Grayhorse limestone and another about 100 feet above the Grayhorse. It now appears that the upper unconformity, which occurs about half way between the base of the Foraker and the top of the Grayhorse, is correlative with the base of the Admire group...

..., Pennsylvanian Douglas sandstone, Pennsylvanian Oread limestone, Pennsylvanian Topeka limestone, Pennsylvanian Wabaunsee limestone, and Permian Foraker limestones. Oil production in the Nebraska portion of the Forest City basin is mainly from the Devonian “Hunton” dolomite and limestone. Production also...

..., Amber Resources completed a Skinner sand oil well flowing 100 BOPD to discover the Northeast Foraker field (19, Fig. 2 ). The North Prairie Center field was discovered in Pawnee County (20, Fig. 2 ) when Shar-Alan Oil Co. completed their Mississippian limestone oil well pumping 98 BOPD...
