Excerpt from Illinois Basin The Ozark region and the Wisconsin uplands are relatively stable areas which have not been subjected to notable depression or deeply buried by sediments since pre-cambrian time. The Cincinnati arch is believed to have been in existence during the Ordovician period and may reflect conditions in the basement rocks dating back much farther. The monocline that bounds the Illinois basin on the south, however, is of much later origin and probably came into existence during the Appalachian uplift.

A detailed overview of the Illinois basin is followed by less detailed reviews of six other selected interior cratonic basins: the Williston, Michigan, Baltic, Paris, Parana, and Carpentaria basins. The goal is to develop a better understanding of the basin-forming, basin-filling, and basin-modifying processes that control hydrocarbon plays and resultant oil and gas fields in this class of basins. The idea is to describe and document the variations, opportunities, and exploration problems that can be expected.

With more than 130 color photographs and 170 drawings, this book shows how to read geological history: plate movements, earthquakes, glaciers, rivers, seas, and other forces that have shaped the earth over millions of years. Each geological region of eastern North America is described vividly and illustrated with detailed maps and cross sections. Highway tours tell where to go to find the best examples of each kind of formation.
