Integrated, detailed, and comprehensive study of the physical stratigraphy, tectonic history, hydrogeology, geomorphology, and resource potential of the Palo Duro and Dalhart Basins, Texas Panhandle, is part of a national evaluation of ancient salt basins as potential sites for isolation and mana

Reservoir quality of lower Teritary sandstone reservoirs along the Texas Gulf Coast is controlled by sandstone depositional environment, mineralogical composition, and consolidation history (compaction, cementation, and leaching).

The Catahoula Formation of the Texas Gulf Coastal Plain consists of two depositional systems--the Gueydan bedload fluvial system of the Rio Grande embayment and the Chita-Corrigan mixed load fluvial system of the Houston embayment.

The increasing demand for uranium combined with the improving economics of uranium production have resulted in a significant upsurge in exploration and mining efforts in the South Texas Coastal Plain uranium province. Texas ranks third in U.S. uranium production.

Combining process and geomorphic description (supplied by studies of modern depositional systems) with the three-dimensional description of sedimentary units and their internal structures (accomplished in the stratigraphic record) produces an integrated facies model that can be applied to the int

The Eastern Shelf was a constructional platform developed on the margin of the sediment-starved Midland Basin during Late Pennsylvanian and Early Permian time. A mixed terrigenous-carbonate sedimentary province characterized the shelf during most of its history.

Five main depositional systems of the Jackson Group in Texas are delineated through regional outcrop and subsurface investigation.
