Comments on Geologic Parameters

12a Formation Temperature:

According to Sass and others (1998) and Vugrinovich (personal communication, 2000), temperature measurements of the Mt. Simon are very scarce. Therefore, we have used the generally accepted temperature gradient for the Michigan Basin, 25 °C / km (Cercone, 1984). We also have used one data point obtained from Vugrinovich (personal communication, 2000).
