Virgil and lower Wolfcamp repetitive environments and the depositional model, north-central Texas Virgil and lower Wolfcamp repetitive environments and the depositional model, north-central Texas 1969

Virgil and lower Wolfcamp rocks on the Eastern Shelf in North-central Texas are composed of several intergradational depositional systems comprising 1,200 to 1,500 feet of off-lapping, predominantly terrigenous sediments.

Geometry and distribution of fluvial and deltaic sandstones (Pennsylvanian and Permian), north-central Texas Geometry and distribution of fluvial and deltaic sandstones (Pennsylvanian and Permian), north-central Texas 1969

Upper Pensylvanian and lower Permian rocks of the Eastern Shelf in North-central Texas are composed of 10 to 15 repetitive sequences including open shelf, deltaic, fluvial, and interdeltaic depositional systems.

Upper Pennsylvanian limestone banks, north central Texas Upper Pennsylvanian limestone banks, north central Texas 1975

Nelson and others (1962) define a bank as " ... a skeletal deposit formed by organisms which do not have the ecologic potential to erect a rigid wave-resistant structure." They explain that a bank may have any geometry.

Wermund, E.G. Geological Circular Bureau of Economic Geology
Hydrogeologic significance of depositional systems and facies in Lower Cretaceous sandstones, north-central Texas Hydrogeologic significance of depositional systems and facies in Lower Cretaceous sandstones, north-central Texas 1976

The Lower Cretaceous Hosston and Hensel Sandstones are important sources of ground water in North-Central Texas.

Hall, W.D. Geological Circular Bureau of Economic Geology
Bituminous coal in Texas Bituminous coal in Texas 1974

Coal is found in six areas in Texas, including the large North-Central Texas field, a distinctive cannel coalfield in Webb County, and Late Cretaceous-age coals near Eagle Pass.

Evans, T.J. Handbook Bureau of Economic Geology
Selected Texas County Maps, 1929-1937 Selected Texas County Maps, 1929-1937 1929

These are 21 Texas county maps made in cooperation with the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and Society of Economic Paleontologists and Mineralogists, issued between 1929 and 1932 and revised in 1937.

Miscellaneous Map Bureau of Economic Geology
Nomenclature revision of basal Cretaceous rocks between the Colorado and Red Rivers, Texas Nomenclature revision of basal Cretaceous rocks between the Colorado and Red Rivers, Texas 1966

Based on need for convenient, small-scale cartographic units, the basal Cretaceous rocks in Texas from Red River to Burnet County and on the Callahan Divide are herein divided into three distinctive lithologic sequences.

Fisher, W.L., Rodda, P.U. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
Lower Cretaceous sands of Texas:  stratigraphy and resources Lower Cretaceous sands of Texas: stratigraphy and resources 1967

Lower Cretaceous sands have long been important aquifers in Central, North-Central, and North Texas. In recent years these sands also have been sources of high-silica industrial or specialty-purpose sand.

Fisher, W.L., Rodda, P.U. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
Depositional systems and shelf-slope relationships in upper Pennsylvanian rocks, north-central Texas Depositional systems and shelf-slope relationships in upper Pennsylvanian rocks, north-central Texas 1972

The Eastern Shelf was a constructional platform developed on the margin of the sediment-starved Midland Basin during Late Pennsylvanian and Early Permian time. A mixed terrigenous-carbonate sedimentary province characterized the shelf during most of its history.
