Abstract
The Central Kansas uplift is a buried, oft-rejuvenated structural feature trending northwest and southeast across west-central Kansas which has been revealed by drilling for oil and gas within the past 10 years. It originated in pre-Cambrian time as a series of parallel batholiths and persisted as a positive element throughout much of Paleozoic time. Several periods of broad warping and erosion occurred during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. Folding normal to the axis of the uplift has occurred principally in early Pennsylvanian and post-Cretaceous time and has been an important factor in the local accumulation of petroleum. The geologic history of the Central Kansas uplift is very similar to that of the Ozarks of Missouri.
