[1] Nearby uplifts and mountainous regions, such as the Muenster Arch and Red River Uplift, the Wichita, Arbuckle, and Ouachita mountains developed by the end of the Pennsylvanian, [2] providing elevated topography to the north and east during the Permian.

The Nemaha Ridge (also called the Nemaha Uplift and the Nemaha Anticline [1]) is located in the Central United States.It is a buried structural zone associated with a granite high in the Pre-Cambrian basement that extends from approximately Omaha, Nebraska to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
The Wichita Group is the oldest of the three groups, having been deposited in the Sakmarian age. [12] The Wichita Group contains some of the richest fossil deposits in the red beds, including the Geraldine Bonebed in Archer County. [12] The Pease River Group is the most recent deposition, occurring during the Guadalupian epoch. [12]
