The Moorefield Formation, or Moorefield Shale, is a geologic formation in northern Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma that dates to the Meramecian Series of the middle Mississippian. In Arkansas, this formation is generally recognized to have one member, the Ruddell Shale, in the upper Moorefield Formation.
The middle shale fraction has a high TOC level, as a result it is one of the most significant geologic units in the Appalachian Basin petroleum chains. Geochemical analyses of the shale show that the TOC level varies dramatically, and the middle part of the shale has typically the highest organics.
The Imo Formation, or Imo Shale, is a geologic unit in northern Arkansas that dates to the Chesterian Series of the late Mississippian.The Imo is considered to be a member of the upper Pitkin Formation, and is the most recent Mississippian age rock in Arkansas.
