I guess then, that the mountain roots in southern Oklahoma that we refer to
as the Arbuckle mountains are reeeeally mature. Those mountains saw the
dinosaurs come and go and the southern 5 miles of the range were cut into a
plain by the surf of the sea that covered parts of Oklahoma and Texas at the
time. I believe the mountains in the movie "Oklahoma" were actually in
Arizona. Looked good on screen, though, and made a heckuva backdrop for a
young (and nubile) Shirley Jones. Actually I don't know if she was shot in
front of them, if so I probably wasn't looking at the geology anyway.
