The Comanche Series and associated rocks in the subsurface in central and south Florida

Abstract

The stratigraphy, structure, micropaleontology, and oil possibilities of a part of the Mesozoic sedimentary section in the subsurface of an area of more than 30,000 square miles in central and south Florida have been studied from the data provided by oil test wells drilled in the area. Microscopic examination of cores and samples of drill cuttings provide the basic stratigraphic data for this report. Electric logs aid in the correlation of the data. The primary purpose of the report is the integration of the data from the scattered test wells and the development from them of an interpretation of the regional geology.
