Book Description
The Devonian shales of the eastern United States are a potential source for tremendous volumes of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons. The Antrim Shale of Michigan is a part of this extensive body of rock. As part of the Shale Characterization Program, stratigraphic cross sections showing the Antrim Shale and associated formations have been constructed for various parts of the Michigan Basin. The principal formations include the Antrim Shale of Devonian age, the Ellsworth Shale which correlates primarily with the Antrim Shale but whose uppermost part appears to correlate with parts of certain formations of Mississippian age, and the Bedford Shale, Berea Sandstone and Sunbury Shale of eastern Michigan. The Bedford Shale immediately overlies the Antrim in eastern Michigan. Regional cross sections are constructed from gamma ray logs as illustration of the stratigraphic associations of these Devonian and Mississippian formations in the Michigan Basin. Data from gamma ray logs and records of 99 individual wells distributed throughout the Southern Peninsula of Michigan were used to construct six cross sections, and a network of intersecting cross sections which illustrates depths, thicknesses, and the stratigraphic relationship of the subject formations in various sectors of the Basin.
Paleozoic Stratigraphy and Resources of the Michigan Basin

Book Description
The Michigan Basin is a classic intracratonic basin that has played a significant role in the fundamental understanding of geological processes in such basins, and has been an important resource for oil and gas, economic minerals, groundwater, and coal. Despite the classic nature of the Michigan Basin, there has not been a "special volume" dedicated to the basin in nearly 25 years. Since that time, new advancements in the geological sciences, particularly the utilization of high-resolution sequence stratigraphy and three-dimensional geostatistical modeling, have led to a new and more comprehensive understanding of the Paleozoic sedimentary packages of the Michigan Basin. This volume provides significant new insights of the Michigan Basin to both academic and applied geoscientists; it includes papers that discuss various aspects of the sedimentology and stratigraphy of key units within the basin, as well as papers that analyze the diverse distribution of natural resources present in this basin.
