Regional cross sections of the Texas panhandle: Precambrian to mid-Permian Regional cross sections of the Texas panhandle: Precambrian to mid-Permian 1981

The Texas Panhandle traditionally has been an important source of mineral resources, especially petroleum, and resources will continue to contribute heavily to the economy of the area. The seven cross sections of this report synthesize the subsurface geology of the region.

Since early 1977, the Bureau of Economic Geology has been evaluating several salt-bearing basins within the State of Texas as part of the national nuclear repository program.

Facies patterns and depositional history of a Permian Sabkha complex -- Red Cave Formation, Texas panhandle Facies patterns and depositional history of a Permian Sabkha complex -- Red Cave Formation, Texas panhandle 1980

The Red Cave Formation (Permian, Leonard Series) in the Texas Panhandle consists of cyclic, red-bed clastic and carbonate-evaporite members that reflect deposition in extensive coastal sabkhas.

Lower Permian facies of the Palo Duro basin, Texas: depositional systems, shelf-margin evolution, paleogeography, and petroleum potential Lower Permian facies of the Palo Duro basin, Texas: depositional systems, shelf-margin evolution, paleogeography, and petroleum potential 1980

Lower Permian (Wolfcampian) strata of the Palo Duro Basin consist of thick, terrigenous clastic and carbonate facies that were deposited in (1) fan-delta, (2) high-constructive delta, (3) carbonate shelf and shelf-margin, and (4) slope and basinal systems.
