The large amounts of Mississippian limestone found demonstrate the great diversity in crinoids. Sharks, acanthodians, and sarcopterygian fishes were diverse, while placoderms began to die out [3] . Fish had evolved into tetrapods such as ichthyostegas, during the Devonian period.

These reservoirs require specialized petrophysical log analysis because of their unique characteristics. New evidence has identified another formation with a bimodal pore system — the O'Hara oolite zone in the Mississippian Ste. Genevieve Limestone, located in the southeastern portion of the Illinois basin.
Deposits of crinoidal limestone approaching 150 metres (500 feet) are not uncommon in intervals of Mississippian age, particularly in North America, and they are exploited as quarry stone. In addition to the crinoidal limestones, oolitic limestones and lime mudstones also formed in shallow-water marine environments of the Mississippian. Ooliths ...

Both conventional and unconventional Mississippian reservoirs in the mid-continent are largely comprised of chert-rich carbonates of Osagean and Meramecan age. The conventional reservoir target is the Mississippian "chat," a high porosity, chert residuum interval found immediately beneath the Mississippian-Pennsylvanian …

These studies divide Mississippian-aged rocks of the Permian Basin into two units: basal, shallow water carbonates (Mississippian Limestone) and overlying siliciclastic mudrocks (Barnett Formation).

The Iniopterygia are Palaeozoic chondrichthyans whose morphology and relationships are poorly understood. The morphology of two new taxa of Iniopterygidae, Rainerichthys zangerli and Papilionichthys stahlae, from the Upper Mississippian of Montana is now described. They exhibit the iniopterygian synapomorphy of dorsolaterally placed pectoral …

The cores are "BX" cores, 1 5/8 inches in diameter, and extend from bedrock to the top of the Mississippian limestone, providing continuous sections of the Cherokee Group. Twenty-two cores were donated to the Kansas Geological Survey by Gulf Mineral Resources Company, and two additional cores were provided by the U.S. Office of …
The Ste. Genevieve Limestone is placed as the basal formation in the Chesteran Stage on the updated stratigraphic chart of Zeller (1968) to be consistent with …
As the Bakken was proving profitable, exploration companies began targeting oil and associated natural gas in the Mississippian limestone play of Oklahoma. Following successes there, companies bought mineral rights in areas of southern and western Kansas, where Mississippian rocks and associated petroleum production extended into …

We identify that chat and tripolite show clear separation from Mississippian Lime log-based acoustic impedance and V P / V S ... To characterize chat and tripolite zones of the Mississippian Limestone in southwest Osage County, a synthetic seismogram was generated to tie the chat, tripolite, and Mississippi Lime to seismic data; …
In Woods County, Oklahoma, the Mississippian ranges in thickness from 350 ft (105 m) to the south to as little as 100 ft (30 m) to the north due to uplift and erosion. Lithologies observed in core are chert conglomerate, tripolitic chert (tripolite), dense chert, chert-rich limestone, dense limestone, and shale-rich limestone.
A Geomechanical Approach To Evaluate Brittleness Using Well Logs: Mississippian Limestone, Northern Oklahoma
Abstract The Mississippian Limestone formed through complex structural, stratigraphic, and diagenetic processes involving subsidence, tectonic uplift leading to periodic subaerial exposure, changes in ocean chemistry, variability inherent with carbonate cyclicity, as well as postdepositional alteration. These geologic complexities led to significant …

Basal Molas to the north is a regolith on Leadville Limestone. Log Springs is inferred to be Late Mississippian on basis of position between dated units. The Molas and Log Springs are shown together on an isopach map; a line of demarcation between the two units is drawn in northwest Sandoval Co., NM.
the Ozarks, Sycamore Limestone in southern Oklahoma, and "Mississippi lime" (a term for thick Mississippian limestones) in the subsurface across most of northern Oklahoma. Early Mississippian limestones, which are the youngest of the thick carbonate sequences in Oklahoma, provide evidence for early and middle Paleozoic crustal stability.
The log fluctuations at the top of the Mississippian reflect varying compositions of dolomitic limestones whose interpretation is drafted graphically by the strip log plotted in the depth track. Below this unit, the neutron and density porosity curves overlay quite closely, which would suggest a limestone.
A low-diversity assemblage of smaller calcareous microfossils is present in the Upper Mississippian Maxville Limestone in Muskingum and Perry Counties, southeastern Ohio.
