Mineral resources of south Texas:  region served through the port of Corpus Christi Mineral resources of south Texas: region served through the port of Corpus Christi 1962

This report is a compilation of all available data on mineral resources (exclusive of oil and gas) in 39 south Texas counties. Information from published and unpublished sources was checked and supplemented by field investigations.

Wave-dominated delta systems of the Upper Cretaceous San Miguel Formation, Maverick Basin, south Texas Wave-dominated delta systems of the Upper Cretaceous San Miguel Formation, Maverick Basin, south Texas 1980

Upward-coarsening sandstone units of the Upper Cretaceous San Miguel Formation in South Texas were deposited in wave-dominated deltas during minor regressive phases, periodically interrupting a major marine transgression.

Depositional and diagenetic history of the Sligo and Hosston Formations(Lower Cretaceous) in south Texas Depositional and diagenetic history of the Sligo and Hosston Formations(Lower Cretaceous) in south Texas 1981

The Sligo and Hosston Formations of Aptian age occur over thousands of square miles in the subsurface of South Texas.

Smackover and lower Buckner Formations, south Texas:  depositional systems on a Jurassic carbonate ramp 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 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.

Depositional and ground-water flow systems of the Carrizo - Upper Wilcox, south Texas Depositional and ground-water flow systems of the Carrizo - Upper Wilcox, south Texas 1988

In the Rio Grande Embayment of South Texas, the Carrizo Formation (lower Eocene) consists of two sand-rich fluvial depositional systems that grade basinward into several deltaic complexes within the upper part of the Wilcox Group.

Edwards aquifer ground-water resources:  geologic controls on porosity development in platform carbonates, south Texas Edwards aquifer ground-water resources: geologic controls on porosity development in platform carbonates, south Texas 1996

Focusing on the highly developed Edwards aquifer, which supplies water for a large area of south-central Texas, this report presents a three-dimensional model of the porosity distribution in the aquifer, which quantifies the spatial distribution of water resources and provides information that ca
