Mississippian rocks from the Antler Basin in the eastern Great Basin of Nevada and Utah were evaluated for their hydrocarbon source rock potential. A total of 306 outcrop samples from forty-three (43) sections and 191 subsurface samples from fifteen (15) wells were utilized in this study. The objective of the study was to assess the organic richness, organic facies, depositional environment, and thermal maturity of the Mississippian sediments, and to determine favorable geographic areas for these potential source rocks.
