Abstract

The Salina basin, a pre-Pennsylvanian structural feature lying in north-central Kansas between the Nemaha granite ridge and the Barton arch, is shown to contain a thick pre-Pennsylvanian section. This section is divided into seven distinct lithologic units, three of which are definitely correlated with known strata elsewhere, and four given new names applicable in the Salina basin. The Welch chert as described by Moore is concluded to be a deposit of residual chert formed in place from the Mississippi lime.
