• The succession of hydro-carbon-impregnated rocks belongs to the Desmoinesian Boggy Formation (Deese Group) and is unconformably overlain by the Virgilian asphalt-free Ada conglomerate...The asphaltic beds in the Buckhorn Asphalt Quarry respresent and assemblage of shallow, near-coastal to deeper, open marine environments and are characterized by variable siliciclastic-carbonate composition, grain size, fossil content and amount of asphalt. The coarsest deposits are float- to rudstones (e.g., shell coquinas, conglomerate) and the finist grained facies types are mudstones. Shell beds are frequent and represent mass flow deposits....strata in the Buckhorn Asphalt Quarry represent a single cycle of transgression and regression | |
