The Pennsylvanian epicontinental sea periodically covered much of Mid-Continent North America during Missourian time, burying local siliciclastic source areas in Kansas with carbonate sediments. During regressive depositional phases in the Missourian siliciclastic sediments were transported into Kansas mainly from the southeast. The five members of the latest Missourian Stanton Formation form a transgressive-regressivetransgressive sequence, in which the black phosphatic shale of the Eudora Member represents maximum transgression and the sandy Rock Lake shale represents maximum regression. Textural and compositional characteristics of Stanton siliciclastics indicate that they were derived from preexisting sedimentary rocks. Although very little petroleum has been produced from the siliciclastic portions of the Stanton Formation, similar sedimentary complexes may be more productive.
