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 | 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. |

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 |

Geology and geohydrology of the Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1979) | 1980 | 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. |

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 | 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. |

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 | 1980 | The climate of the Texas Panhandle is primarily semiarid continental, exhibiting a pronounced peak in precipitation during the months of May through July. |

Impact of evaporite dissolution and collapse on highways and other cultural features in the Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico | 1981 | Geological investigations in the Texas Panhandle and eastern New Mexico indicate that regional subsurface dissolution of Permian evaporites has occurred and is an ongoing process. |
