Description: Several authors have indicated that the sands in the lower Tuscaloosa Group are regionally continuous (Tucker and Kidd, 1973; Mancini and others, 1987). Alverson (1970) referred to lower Tuscaloosa Groups as a regionally continuous sand reservoir. The cross sections of Mancini and others (1987) provide direct evidence of the degree of sand-body continuity in the Lower Tuscaloosa Group. A large number of geophysical logs that penetrate the Tuscaloosa Group are available. From these logs, it would possible to determine sand-body continuity for the region, if CO2 sequestration in the area becomes a serious possibility.
