Upper Pensylvanian and lower Permian rocks of the Eastern Shelf in North-central Texas are composed of 10 to 15 repetitive sequences including open shelf, deltaic, fluvial, and interdeltaic depositional systems. Sediments derived from the Ouachita Mountains and associated piedmont were transported westward across a narrow coastal plain.

Sandstone facies are delta front sheets, distributary mouth bars, distributary and fluvial channels, and destructional bars.
