Alabama Cores
Alabama coreholes drilled by ARCO include:
-
St. Stephens Quarry - 820 ft; classic Eocene-Oligocene middle-outer shelf
section with magneto-, bio-, and isotopic control. The corehole was drilled
on top of outcrop, yet does not suffer preservational and diagenetic
problems. [Miller et al., 1993, Paleoceanography, v. 8, p. 313-331]"
-
Bay Minette - 1099 ft; downdip Eocene-Oligocene outer shelf section with
magneto-, bio-, and isotopic control. [Baum et al., 1994, GSA Bul., v. 106, p. 824-939]
-
Antioch Church - 280 ft; spanning the K/T boundary and extending into the
Paleocene. [Schulte et al., 2006, Sed. Geo., v. 184, 77-109.]
