Fault tectonics of the east Texas basin Fault tectonics of the east Texas basin 1982

Principal fault systems in the East Texas Basin were examined in terms of their distribution, geometry, displacement history, and possible origins.

Hydrocarbon accumulation patterns in the east Texas salt dome province Hydrocarbon accumulation patterns in the east Texas salt dome province 1982

Mobilization of the Louann Salt created the present structural configuration in the central part of the East Texas Basin and was the major control on hydrocarbon accumulation in the area. Salt-cored anticlines, turtle-structure anticlines, and salt diapirs were produced by flow of salt.

Lithology, microstructures, fluid inclusions, and geochemistry of rock salt and of the cap-rock contact in Oakwood Dome, east Texas: significance for nuclear waste storage Lithology, microstructures, fluid inclusions, and geochemistry of rock salt and of the cap-rock contact in Oakwood Dome, east Texas: significance for nuclear waste storage 1982

Oakwood salt dome in Leon and Freestone Counties, Texas, has a core composed of a diapiric salt stock at a depth of 355 m. A vertical borehole in the center of the salt stock yielded 57.3 m of continuous rock-salt core overlain by 137 m of anhydrite-calcite cap rock.

Oakwood salt dome, east Texas: surface geology and drainage analysis Oakwood salt dome, east Texas: surface geology and drainage analysis 1981

Oakwood Salt Dome in Leon and Freestone Counties, East Texas, is under consideration as a nuclear waste repository.

Geology and geohydrology of the east Texas basin -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1980) Geology and geohydrology of the east Texas basin -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1980) 1981

The third year of research was highlighted by the integration of regional basinal studies with growth histories for specific domes, studies of cap-rock diagenesis and salt deformation, preliminary studies of ground-water flow and geochemistry around Oakwood Dome, and preliminary studies of micros

Regional structural cross sections and general stratigraphy, east Texas basin Regional structural cross sections and general stratigraphy, east Texas basin 1981

Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Tertiary sediments in the East Texas Basin have been structurally modified by movement of Middle Jurassic Louann Salt.

Geology and geohydrology of the east Texas basin -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1979) Geology and geohydrology of the east Texas basin -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1979) 1980

Analysis during the second year was highlighted by a historical characterization of East Texas Basin infilling, the development of a model to explain the growth history of the domes, the continued studies of the Quaternary in East Texas, and a better understanding of the near-dome and regional hy

Quaternary faulting in East Texas Quaternary faulting in East Texas 1980

Three closely spaced oblique-slip faults displace a Quaternary gravel and sand unit overlying Eocene Claiborne strata in the Trinity River Valley, Leon County.

Hydrology and water quality of the Eocene Wilcox Group: significance for lignite development in East Texas Hydrology and water quality of the Eocene Wilcox Group: significance for lignite development in East Texas 1980

Lignite development will place major demands on ground-water supplies.

Environmental geology of the Wilcox Group lignite belt, east Texas Environmental geology of the Wilcox Group lignite belt, east Texas 1979

This report provides a data base for decisions about lignite mining and reclamation in the Wilcox Group of East Texas. Kaiser (1974, 1978) estimates that about 12.2 billion short tons of potentially strip-minable lignite resources occur in East and South Texas.
