Geologic Setting
Arbuckle strata in Kansas are interpreted to have been deposited on a broad shallow shelf in shallow subtidal to peritidal environments, similar to what is recognized in Arbuckle equivalent strata elsewhere in the Midcontinent. The stratigraphic section consists of up to hundreds of feet of largely dolomitized subtidal to peritidal cyclic carbonates ranging in thickness from one to several tens of feet with karst overprinting in the upper portion as a result of prolonged exposure related to the overlying post-Arbuckle (Sauk-Tippecanoe) unconformity.
