Our study documents the shelf, shelf-edge, slope, and basin-floor depositional facies characteristics, stratigraphic variations, and sedimentation trends of the Missourian Canyon Group and Virgilian–Wolfcampian Cisco Group across the southern Eastern Shelf and the adjacent Midland Basin.

Salinization of soil and water is a chronic environmental and agricultural problem in arid regions.

Occurrences of ground-water and soil salinization are numerous in the Concho River watershed and its confluence with the Colorado River in West Texas and in other semiarid regions of Texas and the United States.

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.

Geologic map that depicts the surface geology of Mills County and parts of Runnels, Coleman, Brown, Comanche, Erath, Hamilton, Coryell, Lampasas, San Saba, McCulloch, Concho, and Menard Counties. The 21-page booklet indicates geologic formations, abbreviations, and ages.

Nitrogen isotope ratios of ammonium and nitrate ions from soil and water samples can be analyzed reproducibly with an experimental error of approximately +/-1 parts per thousand (ppt). Two isotopic ranges of soil nitrate are found in the soils of southern Runnels County, Texas.

Geologic map that depicts the surface geology of Borden, Scurry, Fisher, Martin, Howard, Mitchell, and Nolan Counties and parts of Glasscock, Sterling, Coke, Runnels, Taylor, Jones, Dawson, Martin, Lynn, Garza, Kent, and Stonewall Counties.

Geologic map that depicts the surface geology of Tom Green, Irion, and Reagan Counties and parts of Midland, Glasscock, Sterling, Coke, Runnels, Concho, Menard, Schleicher, Crockett, and Upton Counties, Texas.

Geologic map that depicts the surface geology of Shackelford, Stephens, Palo Pinto, Callahan, and Eastland Counties and parts of Jones, Taylor, Runnels, Coleman, Brown, Comanche, Erath, Parker, and Hood Counties, Texas.

The Eastern Shelf was a constructional platform developed on the margin of the sediment-starved Midland Basin during Late Pennsylvanian and Early Permian time. A mixed terrigenous-carbonate sedimentary province characterized the shelf during most of its history.
