Title: Subsurface stratigraphic analysis of selected sandstones of the ''Cherokee'' group, southern Noble County, Oklahoma. Pt. 2
Abstract: Some of the principal conclusions of this study are as follows: (1) the Cherokee group unconformably overlies the Mississippian limestone; (2) the Cherokee rocks thin west and north of the study area indicating onlap of the Cherokee group onto the Mississippian System; (3) a southeast-trending drainage system developed on the Mississippian surface and 2 major streams crossed the study area; (4) the Red Fork, Skinner, and Prue sandstone intervals are shale intervals with local lenticular sand deposits; and (5) the Red Fork, Skinner, and Prue sandstones are believed to be deltaic in origin. Inferred depositional environments include lower deltaic-plain interdistributary, distributary channel, and crevasse splay facies.
