Description
The Hoodville Dome lies immediately west of the Dale Dome and, like the latter, exhibits closure on the Herrin Coal Member (Pennsylvanian), the Beech Creek ("Barlow") Limestone (ISGS open files), and the Karnak Limestone Member of the Ste. Genevieve Limestone (Bristol and Howard 1976). Adequate data are not available to demonstrate closure on deeper horizons. The enclosed area is roughly equidimensional but irregular in outline on all three horizons. The Dale Consolidated Oil Field covers the Dale and Hoodville Domes. It is likely that both domes are the product of differential compaction across Precambrian Hills.
