Fault tectonics of the east Texas basin Fault tectonics of the east Texas basin 1982

Principal fault systems in the East Texas Basin were examined in terms of their distribution, geometry, displacement history, and possible origins.

Hydrocarbon accumulation patterns in the east Texas salt dome province Hydrocarbon accumulation patterns in the east Texas salt dome province 1982

Mobilization of the Louann Salt created the present structural configuration in the central part of the East Texas Basin and was the major control on hydrocarbon accumulation in the area. Salt-cored anticlines, turtle-structure anticlines, and salt diapirs were produced by flow of salt.

Cotton Valley (Upper Jurassic) and Hosston (Lower Cretaceous) depositional systems and their influence on salt tectonics in the east Texas basin Cotton Valley (Upper Jurassic) and Hosston (Lower Cretaceous) depositional systems and their influence on salt tectonics in the east Texas basin 1984

Correct interpretation of the effect of basin infilling on salt mobilization is critical to understanding salt dome growth and stability. The size of salt structures in the East Texas Basin is determined by the original thickness of the underlying Louann Salt (Middle Jurassic).

Depositional systems in the Nacatoch Formation (Upper Cretaceous), northeast Texas and southwest Arkansas Depositional systems in the Nacatoch Formation (Upper Cretaceous), northeast Texas and southwest Arkansas 1983

The Nacatoch Formation of the East Texas Basin is the middle formation of the Navarro Group and consists of marine sandstones and mudstones derived largely from source areas to the northwest, north, and northeast of the East Texas Embayment.
