Structural cross sections, Miocene series, Texas continental shelf Structural cross sections, Miocene series, Texas continental shelf 1985

These cross sections numerically correspond to previously published onshore cross sections (CS0002--Dodge and Posey, 1981) and extend those sections across the continental shelf into the Miocene, a recent target of renewed petroleum exploration.
