About This Publication
Regional cross sections of Middle and Upper Permian rocks in the Texas Panhandle illustrate the lithology, depositional systems, and structure of these salt-bearing strata. This report explains the interpretative techniques used in preparation of the cross sections that accompany the text, and highlights significant geologic relationships displayed on the cross sections.
