Bouguer gravity Atlas of Texas, Perryton sheet Bouguer gravity Atlas of Texas, Perryton 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 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.

Middle and Upper Permian salt-bearing strata of the Texas panhandle:  lithologic and facies cross sections Middle and Upper Permian salt-bearing strata of the Texas panhandle: lithologic and facies cross sections 1981

Regional cross sections of Middle and Upper Permian rocks in the Texas Panhandle illustrate the lithology, depositional systems, and structure of these salt-bearing strata.

Geologic Atlas of Texas, Perryton sheet (revised 1993) Geologic Atlas of Texas, Perryton sheet (revised 1993) 1970

Geologic map that depicts the  surface geology of Hansford, Ochiltree, and Lipscomb Counties and parts of Moore, Hutchinson, Roberts, Hemphill, and Sherman Counties.

Geology and geohydrology of the Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1981), annual report for period October 1,  1980 - September 30, 1981 Geology and geohydrology of the Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1981), annual report for period October 1, 1980 - September 30, 1981 1982

Integrated study of the basin structure, tectonic history, rock physics, physical stratigraphy, hydrogeology, geochemistry, natural resources, and geomorphology of the Palo Duro and Dalhart Basins in the Texas Panhandle is part of a national evaluation of ancient salt basins as potential sites fo

Geologic Significance of Remotely Sensed Physiographic Features of the Texas Panhandle and Adjacent Regions Geologic Significance of Remotely Sensed Physiographic Features of the Texas Panhandle and Adjacent Regions 1990

Remotely sensed features such as linear drainages, escarpments, ridges, and aligned playas have been identified on Landsat imagery (scale 1:250,000) of the Texas Panhandle and adjacent regions to allow comparison of these features with detailed regional and site-specific geologic data.

Sand-body geometry and depositional systems, Ogallala Formation, Texas Sand-body geometry and depositional systems, Ogallala Formation, Texas 1980

The Neogene Ogallala Formation is an alluvial apron that occurs east of the Rocky Mountains from South Dakota to the Southern High Plains of Texas. The Ogallala was deposited by coalescent, low-gradient, wet alluvial fans that headed in mountains to the west.

Seni, S.J. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
Regional dissolution of Permian salt in the Anadarko, Dalhart, and Palo Duro basins of the Texas panhandle Regional dissolution of Permian salt in the Anadarko, Dalhart, and Palo Duro basins of the Texas panhandle 1980

A broad zone of salt dissolution that affects parts of the Permian Salado, Seven Rivers, San Andres, Glorieta, and upper Clear Fork Formations occurs beneath the Canadian River Valley from New Mexico eastward toward Amarillo, Texas, and southeastward parallel to the eastern Caprock Escarpment.

Coastal evaporite and tidal-flat sediments of the upper Clear Fork and Glorieta Formations, Texas panhandle Coastal evaporite and tidal-flat sediments of the upper Clear Fork and Glorieta Formations, Texas panhandle 1982

Red beds, evaporites, and carbonates of the upper Clear Fork and Glorieta Formations (Permian) of the Texas Panhandle form an association of facies deposited in nearshore and supratidal environments along an arid coastline.

Presley, M.W., McGillis, K.A., Mikan, F.M., Gray, C.A. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
Petroleum potential of the Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle Petroleum potential of the Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle 1982

The Palo Duro Basin seemingly has all the elements necessary for hydrocarbon generation and accumulation: reservoirs, traps, source rocks, and sufficient thermal maturity. Porous facies in pre-Pennsylvanian, Pennsylvanian, and Permian strata are potential hydrocarbon reservoirs.
