| has gloss | eng: The Conasauga Shale is a Cambrian-aged geological gas shale formation lying within the Appalachian thrust and fault region of Alabama and Georgia. The formation consists of shales and carbonates that have structurally thickened to over in certain areas by successive orogenic events (Taconic orogeny, Acadian orogeny, Alleghenian orogeny) impacting the southern Appalachians. This uniquely thick shale-carbonate sequence affords the possibility of significant recoverable gas reserves as recent drilling has shown the formation to be gas bearing. |
