The Queen City Formation in the East Texas embayment:  a developmental record of riverine, tidal and wave interaction The Queen City Formation in the East Texas embayment: a developmental record of riverine, tidal and wave interaction 1980

Five distinct facies are recognized in the Eocene Queen City exposures between the Trinity River valley and the Louisiana state boundary. These facies (fluvial, deltaic, tidal flat, barrier, and tidal delta) display diagnostic suites of physical and biogenic structures.

Geology and geohydrology of the east Texas basin -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1979) Geology and geohydrology of the east Texas basin -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1979) 1980

Analysis during the second year was highlighted by a historical characterization of East Texas Basin infilling, the development of a model to explain the growth history of the domes, the continued studies of the Quaternary in East Texas, and a better understanding of the near-dome and regional hy
