The most significant exploration effort in the Rocky Mt. province during 1967-1968 was in the Muddy Cretaceous in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming and Montana. Recluse field is one of several stratigraphic discoveries resulting from this effort. The producing Muddy Sandstone body is interpreted to be a barrier island deposited along the shoreline of the Muddy sea. The sandstone body is one-half to 3 miles wide and up to 47 ft thick. Local areas of thin sandstone crossing the barrier island are interpreted to be tidal channels.
