Depositional and ground-water flow systems of the Carrizo - Upper Wilcox, south Texas | 1988 | In the Rio Grande Embayment of South Texas, the Carrizo Formation (lower Eocene) consists of two sand-rich fluvial depositional systems that grade basinward into several deltaic complexes within the upper part of the Wilcox Group. |

Depositional systems and oil and gas plays in the Cretaceous Olmos Formation, south Texas | 1986 | The Upper Cretaceous Olmos Formation in South Texas continues to be an active exploration target 60 years after oil was first discovered in this clastic assemblage. The shallow, oil-bearing formation was deposited on a broad, wave-influenced shelf. Sand accumulated in two depocenters. |

Smackover and lower Buckner Formations, south Texas: depositional systems on a Jurassic carbonate ramp | 1981 | The Smackover and lower part of the Buckner Formations (Oxfordian) comprise a thick regressive sedimentary sequence deposited on a Jurassic carbonate ramp. Four major depositional systems are recognized: (1) basinal, (2) low-energy open shelf, (3) high-energy shoal, and (4) sabkha. |

South Texas uranium province: geology and extraction | 1976 | The increasing demand for uranium combined with the improving economics of uranium production have resulted in a significant upsurge in exploration and mining efforts in the South Texas Coastal Plain uranium province. Texas ranks third in U.S. uranium production. |
