Ordinarily, in regions where geological<br />
conditions permit, generalized interpretations<br />
could be tested by thorough investigations<br />
<strong>and</strong> mapping <strong>of</strong> outcrops, but <strong>the</strong><br />
paucity <strong>of</strong> outcrops <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> absence <strong>of</strong> key<br />
beds in <strong>the</strong> outcropping zone makes silch<br />
procedure impracticable in Hamilton County.<br />
Short <strong>of</strong> drilling to <strong>the</strong> oil-bearing<br />
formations, <strong>the</strong> testing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> validity <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> structures mapped would be possible<br />
only by drilling to one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> key beds, as<br />
<strong>the</strong> Sho,al Creek limestone or <strong>the</strong> No. 6<br />
<strong>coal</strong> bed, or by some geophysical method.<br />
Except for <strong>the</strong> dry hole (Texas-Davis)<br />
in sec. 7, T. 6 S., R. 7 E., which was drilled<br />
to <strong>the</strong> Devonian at 5358 feet, strata below<br />
<strong>the</strong> Mississippian formations have not been<br />
tested in this county.
