The Michigan Basin is a classic intracratonic basin that has played a significant role in the fundamental understanding of geological processes in such basins, and has been an important resource for oil and gas, economic minerals, groundwater, and coal. Despite the classic nature of the Michigan Basin, there has not been a "special volume" dedicated to the basin in nearly 25 years. Since that time, new advancements in the geological sciences, particularly the utilization of high-resolution sequence stratigraphy and three-dimensional geostatistical modeling, have led to a new and more comprehensive understanding of the Paleozoic sedimentary packages of the Michigan Basin. This volume provides significant new insights of the Michigan Basin to both academic and applied geoscientists; it includes papers that discuss various aspects of the sedimentology and stratigraphy of key units within the basin, as well as papers that analyze the diverse distribution of natural resources present in this basin.

Upper Paleozoic strata in the southern part of the Eagle Plain Basin are termed the Imperial Formation of Late Devonian age, the unnamed shale unit of Devonian and Mississippian age, and the Hart River Formation of Late Mississippian (Chesteran) age. The latter is formally subdivided into the Birch, Canoe River, and Chance Sandstone Members. Both the Birch and Chance Sandstone Members are reservoir rocks where oil and gas have been discovered in commercial quantities. The hydrocarbons are present in non-argillaceous, conglomeratic sandstone whereas the intervening Canoe River Member is a siliceous shale in the southeast grading to a siliceous limestone in the central and western parts of the basin. The strata are believed to have been deposited in a deep water trough subparallel to the present-day Richardson Mountains which form the eastern border of the basin; turbidite flows are considered to be responsible for the formation of the conglomeratic sandstone.
