Smackover and lower Buckner Formations, south Texas: depositional systems on a Jurassic carbonate ramp | 1981 | The Smackover and lower part of the Buckner Formations (Oxfordian) comprise a thick regressive sedimentary sequence deposited on a Jurassic carbonate ramp. Four major depositional systems are recognized: (1) basinal, (2) low-energy open shelf, (3) high-energy shoal, and (4) sabkha. |

Depositional systems and oil and gas plays in the Cretaceous Olmos Formation, south Texas | 1986 | The Upper Cretaceous Olmos Formation in South Texas continues to be an active exploration target 60 years after oil was first discovered in this clastic assemblage. The shallow, oil-bearing formation was deposited on a broad, wave-influenced shelf. Sand accumulated in two depocenters. |
