Analyses for samples from the Stark Shale Member of the Dennis Limestone (S2-1 through S13) were previously listed in Hatch and Leventhal (1992, their table 3); for Marmaton Group samples (MC121-2 to MC121-4 and 349-3) and for Cherokee Group samples (349-38 though 349-69), Hatch et al. (1984, their appendix 3, and 1989, their appendix 3); and for Chattanooga Shale samples (DR2977, DR2980, STA2313 through STA2319, and BOC2164 through BOC2174), Hatch et al. (1989, their appendix 3).

Appendix 4--Organic-carbon contents, Rock-Eval© analysis, and vitrinite-reflectance (Ro) measurements for 36 samples from cuttings and sidewall cores of Paleozoic-age rocks from northwestern Missouri and northeastern Kansas. [Simpson Group samples 3126, 3142, 3156, and 3173 are from sidewall cores. All other samples are from cuttings. Sample descriptive informa- tion is listed in appendix 2. (Rock-sample index map is fig. 2B.) The Shawnee Group is of Late Pennsylvanian (Virgilian) age; Lansing, Kansas City, and Pleasanton Groups, Late Pennsylvanian (Missourian) age; Marmaton and Cherokee Groups, Middle Pennsylvanian (Desmoinesian) age; Chattanooga Shale, Late Devonian-Early Mississippian age; Maquoketa Shale, Late Ordovician age; and Simpson Group, Middle Ordovician age.]
