AGS GB 27 Cover Geology of the Karnes Uranium District, Texas 2007

D. Hoye Eargle, George Pinkley, and Paul de Vergie led and co-authored the first field trip to the Karnes Uranium District for the South Texas Geological Society in 1958, nearly 50 years ago. Since then, various field trips have been held to this area by different groups.

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.

Depositional framework, hydrostratigraphy, and uranium mineralization of the Oakville Sandstone (Miocene), Texas coastal plain Depositional framework, hydrostratigraphy, and uranium mineralization of the Oakville Sandstone (Miocene), Texas coastal plain 1982

The Oakville Sandstone (Miocene) of the Texas Coastal Plain comprises a major sand-rich fluvial system composed of deposits of several major and minor rivers that originated within Texas and surrounding states.

Geochemistry of ground water in the Miocene Oakville Sandstone -- a major aquifer and uranium host of the Texas coastal plain Geochemistry of ground water in the Miocene Oakville Sandstone -- a major aquifer and uranium host of the Texas coastal plain 1982

The Oakville Sandstone is a major aquifer and a major host of uranium deposits in the Texas Coastal Plain.

Regional hydrodynamics and hydrochemistry of the uranium-bearing Oakville aquifer (Miocene) of south Texas Regional hydrodynamics and hydrochemistry of the uranium-bearing Oakville aquifer (Miocene) of south Texas 1982

The Oakville Formation consists of sediments deposited by several major fluvial systems that traversed the Texas Coastal Plain during the Miocene Epoch.

Considerations in the extraction of uranium from a fresh-water aquifer -- Miocene Oakville Sandstone, south Texas Considerations in the extraction of uranium from a fresh-water aquifer -- Miocene Oakville Sandstone, south Texas 1982

The Miocene Oakville Sandstone is a major aquifer and uranium host beneath the Texas Coastal Plain. In 1976, approximately 6,000 acre-ft of ground water were withdrawn from the Oakville for municipal use.

Upper Tertiary and Quaternary depositional systems, central coastal plain, Texas -- regional geology of the coastal aquifer and potential liquid-waste repositories Upper Tertiary and Quaternary depositional systems, central coastal plain, Texas -- regional geology of the coastal aquifer and potential liquid-waste repositories 1981

Upper Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene deposits in the subsurface of the central Coastal Plain of Texas were subdivided into six operational units comprising the surface-defined Fleming, Goliad, Willis, Lissie, and Beaumont Formations.

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.
