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.

Sixteen depositional sequences, commonly called cyclothems, each composed mostly of limestone(retrogradational/transgressive) and siliciclastic (progradational/regressive) subsequences, or systems tracts, record the paleogeography during Late Pennsylvanian (Virgilian Epoch) and Early Permian (Wol

This cross section set comprises 14 dip (E-W) sections and 9 strike (N-S) stratigraphic cross sections (with text), correlating upper Pennsylvanian (Virgilian) and lower Permian (Wolfcampian) strata throughout the subsurface in all or parts of 28 counties of North-Central Texas.

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.

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.

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.

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.

These are 21 Texas county maps made in cooperation with the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and Society of Economic Paleontologists and Mineralogists, issued between 1929 and 1932 and revised in 1937.
