           Kansas Stratigraphic Units
  
           This chart was created to explain the Stratigraphic Units used for the
              Type Logs Project. In many cases many of the units that are listed in
              this chart are considered "informal", i.e. Excello Shale Member is used
              in many of the Tops for Kansas Wells, but is not listed in the  Official
              Kansas Stratigraphic Units Chart. Many of the Stratigraphic Units that
              are mentioned in the Type Logs Project are units that Geologist are most
              familiar with and can be traced back to outcrops or to core descriptions.
              To follow this logic this web site was created to display many of the
              measured sections or core descriptions that have been published by Kansas
              Geological Survey and will be used here to represent the Stratigraphic Units
              that are part of the Type Logs Project.
