where the Arkoma basin lies began to take shape with rifting in the early Cambrian. This rifting event resulted in the formation of a deep ocean basin that persisted to the late Devonian. While experts cannot constrain the exact time when the ocean basin began to close, they can infer basin closure beginning around the late Devonian to early Carboniferous. Subduction and subsequent formation of an accretionary prism in the early Pennsylvanian caused normal faulting throughout the basin. By late Atokan
