Bouguer gravity Atlas of Texas, Plainview sheet Bouguer gravity Atlas of Texas, Plainview sheet 1986

This folded transparent map is at the same scale as its corresponding Geologic Atlas of Texas (GAT) sheet and can be superimposed on it to compare gravity information with surface geology.

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.

Middle and Upper Permian salt-bearing strata of the Texas panhandle:  lithologic and facies cross sections Middle and Upper Permian salt-bearing strata of the Texas panhandle: lithologic and facies cross sections 1981

Regional cross sections of Middle and Upper Permian rocks in the Texas Panhandle illustrate the lithology, depositional systems, and structure of these salt-bearing strata.

Depositional systems and hydrocarbon resource potential of the Pennsylvanian system, Palo Duro and Dalhart Basins, Texas panhandle Depositional systems and hydrocarbon resource potential of the Pennsylvanian system, Palo Duro and Dalhart Basins, Texas panhandle 1980

Pennsylvanian clastic and carbonate strata were deposited in a variety of environments within the Palo Duro Basin. Maximum accumulation (totaling 750 m or 2,400 ft) occurred along a northwest-southeast axis.

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.
