Kansas Geological Survey Open-file Report 2001-55 |
In these two scalloped features the Arbuckle dips at very low
angles (0.5-1.5 degrees) to the northwest
Cross-Section B-B', location shown at left). The fault-bounded
southeast sides of these features are relatively uniform and the
northwest sides have a scalloped nature. Ground-water traveled
down-dip and emerged above shale layers on the northwest (down-dip)
sides of these features initiating sapping processes. The sapping
processes produced theater-headed valley terminations on the northwest
sides giving it the characteristic appearance. Analysis of structural
dip within the Arbuckle supports primary bed-dip to the northwest
(down-dip fluid flow), and up-dip headward migration of sapping
landforms.
