Bouguer gravity Atlas of Texas, Big Spring sheet Bouguer gravity Atlas of Texas, Big Spring 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.

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.

Basin morphological controls on submarine-fan depositional trends:  Spraberry Sandstone, Permian Basin, Texas Basin morphological controls on submarine-fan depositional trends: Spraberry Sandstone, Permian Basin, Texas 1997

The Leonardian Spraberry Formation is a major oil-producing formation of the Permian Basin, accounting for more than 700 million barrels of oil produced from heterogeneous submarine-fan reservoirs.

Boundary of the Pennsylvanian and Permian(?) in the subsurface Scurry reef, Scurry County, Texas Boundary of the Pennsylvanian and Permian(?) in the subsurface Scurry reef, Scurry County, Texas 1952 Heck, W.A., Yenne, K.A., Henbest, L.G. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
Depositional systems and shelf-slope relationships in upper Pennsylvanian rocks, north-central Texas Depositional systems and shelf-slope relationships in upper Pennsylvanian rocks, north-central Texas 1972

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.

Depositional framework of the Lower Dockum Group (Triassic), Texas panhandle Depositional framework of the Lower Dockum Group (Triassic), Texas panhandle 1979

The Upper Triassic Dockum Group of Texas and New Mexico is composed of 200 to 2,000 feet of complexly interrelated terrigenous clastic facies ranging from mudstone to conglomerate.

Genesis and emplacement of oil in the San Andreas Formation, northern shelf of the Midland basin, Texas Genesis and emplacement of oil in the San Andreas Formation, northern shelf of the Midland basin, Texas 1982

San Andres oil constitutes more than 80 percent of the total production from the Northern Shelf of the Midland Basin, Texas.

Facies and stratigraphy of the San Andreas Formation, northern and northwestern shelves of the Midland basin, Texas and New Mexico Facies and stratigraphy of the San Andreas Formation, northern and northwestern shelves of the Midland basin, Texas and New Mexico 1982

The San Andres Formation on the Northern and Northwestern Shelves of the Midland Basin is a progradational stratigraphic unit consisting predominantly of carbonate facies. Lithofacies include dolomite, laminated anhydrite and dolomite, massive bedded anhydrite, limestone, salt, and red beds.

Hydrogeology and hydrochemistry of the Ogallala aquifer, southern High Plains, Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico Hydrogeology and hydrochemistry of the Ogallala aquifer, southern High Plains, Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico 1988

The Ogallala aquifer, which underlies the Southern High Plains, consists of the saturated sediments of the Neogene Ogallala Formation. The aquifer is the main source of water for the High Plains of Texas and New Mexico and is being severely depleted by extensive pumpage for irrigation.
