Upper Pennsylvanian limestone banks, north central Texas Upper Pennsylvanian limestone banks, north central Texas 1975

Nelson and others (1962) define a bank as " ... a skeletal deposit formed by organisms which do not have the ecologic potential to erect a rigid wave-resistant structure." They explain that a bank may have any geometry.

Nomenclature revision of basal Cretaceous rocks between the Colorado and Red Rivers, Texas Nomenclature revision of basal Cretaceous rocks between the Colorado and Red Rivers, Texas 1966

Based on need for convenient, small-scale cartographic units, the basal Cretaceous rocks in Texas from Red River to Burnet County and on the Callahan Divide are herein divided into three distinctive lithologic sequences.

Lower Cretaceous sands of Texas:  stratigraphy and resources Lower Cretaceous sands of Texas: stratigraphy and resources 1967

Lower Cretaceous sands have long been important aquifers in Central, North-Central, and North Texas. In recent years these sands also have been sources of high-silica industrial or specialty-purpose sand.

Depositional systems in Canyon Group (Pennsylvanian System), north-central Texas Depositional systems in Canyon Group (Pennsylvanian System), north-central Texas 1975

The Canyon Group (Missourian Series) is a sequence of westward-dipping, genetically related carbonate and terrigenous clastic facies that crop out in a northeast-southwest belt across North-Central Texas.

Atoka Group (Lower to Middle Pennsylvanian), northern Fort Worth basin, Texas:  terrigenous depositional systems, diagenesis, and reservoir distribution and quality Atoka Group (Lower to Middle Pennsylvanian), northern Fort Worth basin, Texas: terrigenous depositional systems, diagenesis, and reservoir distribution and quality 1982

The Fort Worth Basin, in North-Central Texas, is a late Paleozoic foreland basin that was downwarped during the Early to Middle Pennsylvanian Period in response to tectonic stresses that also produced the Ouachita Thrust Belt.

Lithostratigraphy and paleoenvironments of Upper Paleozoic continental red beds, north-central Texas:  Bowie (new) and Wichita (revised) Groups Lithostratigraphy and paleoenvironments of Upper Paleozoic continental red beds, north-central Texas: Bowie (new) and Wichita (revised) Groups 1988

Approximately 2,200 ft (670 m) of principally continental and paralic rocks of late Virgilian, Wolfcampian, and early Leonardian age (late Pennsylvanian and early Permian) are exposed in an area of about 4,950 mi2 (12,800 km2) between the Brazos and Red Rivers in North-Central Texas.
