What a great way to start the New Year: an article on the Tyler Formation!
Here's the link. It's a PDF file so it might take a minute to download.
Right now there seems to be a lot of "group think" -- everyone is focused on the Bakken, but at some point, attention will turn to the Tyler.
Bowman and Bowman County seem to be the center of the Tyler. For newbies, the other activity one sees on the map at the link, I believe, is around Dickinson.
This is an interesting area: this is where the Bakken thins out, and the Three Forks "pinches out." In addition, in the Dickinson area, there is interest in Lodgepole reefs. And now, we have the Tyler formation.
For more on the Tyler, see the sidebar at the right.
