Purpose	PURPOSE OF THE FIELD TRIP Members of the Oklahoma Academy of Science have briefly visited rocks of the Gulf Coastal Plain twice in the recent past. On the spring 1995 field trip, we collected the echinois Enallaster texanus (Roemer) from the Goodland Limestone at the Meridian Aggregates Company quarry just north of the town of Idabel. On the spring 1996 field trip, we saw a major unconformity just south of Lake Murray where the very tilted Pennsylvanian Pumpkin Creek Limestone (about 310 million years old) was overlain by the nearly horizontal Cretaceous Antlers Sandstone (about 108 m.y. old) (note - this age is more accurate than that given in the Lake Murray guidebook).; This year, members of the OAS will once again visit the sedimentary rocks of the Oklahoma Gulf Coastal Plain, but our objectives will be slightly different. We will apply some fundamental geologic principles to what we see in the rocks and attempt to determine under what environmental conditions the sediments were deposited about 100 m.y. ago. Were the sediments deposited in a river valley, on a beach, a delta, or in the ocean? How deep in the ocean? We will consider how the Cretaceous sea level changed in this part of Oklahoma and we will construct our own "sea-level curve" for this time period. We will then compare our curves to published worldwide sea-level curves of the Cretaceous. All along, we will try to picture what this part of Oklahoma looked like during the time of T. rex., or even better, our own Acrocanthosaurus atokensis.
