Excerpt from Illinois Basin The Ozark region and the Wisconsin uplands are relatively stable areas which have not been subjected to notable depression or deeply buried by sediments since pre-cambrian time. The Cincinnati arch is believed to have been in existence during the Ordovician period and may reflect conditions in the basement rocks dating back much farther. The monocline that bounds the Illinois basin on the south, however, is of much later origin and probably came into existence during the Appalachian uplift.
