Bouguer gravity Atlas of Texas, Amarillo sheet Bouguer gravity Atlas of Texas, Amarillo 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.

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.

Geology and geohydrology of the Palo Duro Basin, Texas panhandle -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1978) Geology and geohydrology of the Palo Duro Basin, Texas panhandle -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1978) 1979

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

Petroleum source rock potential and thermal maturity, Palo Duro basin, Texas Petroleum source rock potential and thermal maturity, Palo Duro basin, Texas 1980

Samples collected from 20 geographically widespread wells in the sparsely drilled Palo Duro Basin were analyzed for total organic carbon content (TOC). Highest values of TOC, up to 6.9 percent, occur in Upper Permian San Andres dolomite in the southern part of the basin.

Climatic controls on erosion in the rolling plains and along the Caprock Escarpment of the Texas panhandle Climatic controls on erosion in the rolling plains and along the Caprock Escarpment of the Texas panhandle 1980

The climate of the Texas Panhandle is primarily semiarid continental, exhibiting a pronounced peak in precipitation during the months of May through July.

Tansill, Salado, and Alibates Formations:  Upper Permian evaporite/carbonate strata of the Texas panhandle Tansill, Salado, and Alibates Formations: Upper Permian evaporite/carbonate strata of the Texas panhandle 1981

The Salado-Tansill and Alibates Formations are the youngest evaporite and carbonate facies within a thick Permian sequence of evaporites, carbonates, and red beds in the Texas Panhandle.

Geology and geohydrology of the Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1981), annual report for period October 1,  1980 - September 30, 1981 Geology and geohydrology of the Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1981), annual report for period October 1, 1980 - September 30, 1981 1982

Integrated study of the basin structure, tectonic history, rock physics, physical stratigraphy, hydrogeology, geochemistry, natural resources, and geomorphology of the Palo Duro and Dalhart Basins in the Texas Panhandle is part of a national evaluation of ancient salt basins as potential sites fo

Investigation of underpressuring in the deep-basin brine aquifer, Palo Duro basin, Texas Investigation of underpressuring in the deep-basin brine aquifer, Palo Duro basin, Texas 1985

Although plots of pressure versus depth are useful for understanding the hydrodynamics of ground-water systems, they can be difficult to interpret.

Organic geochemistry of the Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian, Palo Duro basin, Texas Organic geochemistry of the Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian, Palo Duro basin, Texas 1986

Cores from deep stratigraphic test wells provide an excellent basis for determination of source-rock quality and thermal maturity of potential hydrocarbon source rocks in the Palo Duro Basin. Total organic carbon (TOC) content in Pennsylvanian and Wolfcampian rocks is highest in basinal shales.
