Devonian to earliest Mississippian Woodford Shale was de-posited in essentially the same areas as the Hunton, and north-ward into Kansas. The pre-Woodford erosional surface is a conspicuous un-conformity: 500-1,000 ft of strata were eroded over broad areas, and the Woodford or younger Mississippian units rest on Ordovician and Silurian rocks.

The Devonian-Mississippian Chattanooga (Woodford) Shale and equivalent formations are widely distributed in North America. Deposited under generally anoxic conditions during the Kaskaskian marine transgression, they are known to be important petroleum source rocks in many intracratonic basins of the Midcontinent.Today, with the aid of modern geophysical tools, subsurface geology has become firmly entrenched as the most effective means of petroleum exploration. Yet statisticians warn that new methods still must be found if the industry is to continue to meet the demand for petroleum products. ... Production from the Mississippian zone has been reported ...

Oil production from the Mississippian Madison Group was discovered in 1946. Cumulative production is now more than 75 million bbl of oil from 5,100 acres; productive closure is about 1,400 ft. A recent core study of the Madison reservoir shows it can be divided into several separate, distinct geologic and production units.The Pennsylvanian* saw the disappearance of the warm, shallow seas of the Mississippian, causing a dramatic change in marine life.

Throughout both the Valley and Ridge and the Appalachian Plateau, the geology is dominated by a succession of Paleozoic sedimentary rocks deposited when eastern North America was flooded by the ancient Iapetus Ocean. The continent lay close to the equator, and sequences of shallow-marine limestone and shale were deposited with occasional incursions of deltaic or shallow-marine sandstone.

The Mississippian is a subperiod in the geologic timescale or a subsystem of the geologic record.
