Abstract
The San Andres Formation in the Palo Duro Basin is a middle Permian carbonate-evaporite sequence situated between two red-bed units, the underlying Glorieta and the overlying undifferentiated Queen-Grayburg sequences. The San Andres Formation, deposited during relative structural quiescence in the region, is composed of cyclic sequences of dark anhydritic mudstone, skeletal limestone, dolomite, nodular anhydrite, bedded anhydrite, and halite.
