Structural styles of the Wilcox and Frio growth-fault trends in Texas:  constraints on geopressured reservoirs Structural styles of the Wilcox and Frio growth-fault trends in Texas: constraints on geopressured reservoirs 1986

The wide variability in structural styles within the growth-faulted, geopressured trends of the Texas Gulf Coast is illustrated by detailed structural maps of selected areas of the Wilcox and Frio growth-fault trends and quantified by statistical analysis of fault compartment geometries.

Bouguer gravity Atlas of Texas, Tucumcari sheet Bouguer gravity Atlas of Texas, Tucumcari 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.

Geochemistry of salt-spring and shallow subsurface brines in the Rolling Plains of Texas and southwestern Oklahoma Geochemistry of salt-spring and shallow subsurface brines in the Rolling Plains of Texas and southwestern Oklahoma 1986

Numerous salt-emission areas exist within the Permian outcrop in the Rolling Plains of Texas and southwestern Oklahoma. Sodium chloride waters underlie the area at relatively shallow depths, discharge from salt springs and salt seeps, and greatly impair the quality of ground and surface waters.

Cyclicity in the Middle Permian San Andres Formation, Palo Duro Basin, Texas panhandle Cyclicity in the Middle Permian San Andres Formation, Palo Duro Basin, Texas panhandle 1986

The San Andres Formation in the Palo Duro Basin is a middle Permian carbonate-evaporite sequence situated between two red-bed units, the underlying Glorieta and the overlying undifferentiated Queen-Grayburg sequences.

Submerged lands of Texas, Brownsville - Harlingen area:  sediments, geochemistry, benthic macroinvertebrates, and associated wetlands Submerged lands of Texas, Brownsville - Harlingen area: sediments, geochemistry, benthic macroinvertebrates, and associated wetlands 1986

The State-owned submerged lands of Texas encompass almost 6,000 mi2 (15,540 km2). They lie below waters of the bay-estuary-lagoon system and the Gulf of Mexico and extend 10.3 mi (16.6 km) seaward from the Gulf shoreline (fig. 1).

Chemical Characterization of Texas Lignite Chemical Characterization of Texas Lignite 1986

Statistical analysis of chemical data on Texas Eocene coals revealed startigraphic and geographic trends in lignite quality. Chemical data on near-surface coals wre obtained from various private and public sources. Seams from deep-basin coals were compared.

Tewalt, S.J. Bureau of Economic Geology
Hydrogeology and hydrochemical facies of the San Andres Formation in eastern New Mexico and the Texas panhandle Hydrogeology and hydrochemical facies of the San Andres Formation in eastern New Mexico and the Texas panhandle 1986

Fluid pressure, permeability, rates and patterns of ground-water flow, and chemical and isotopic composition of ground water in carbonate rock in the lower part of the San Andres Formation (Permian) in eastern New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle were studied to characterize the origin and movement

Compilation of potassium-argon ages of Tertiary igneous rocks, Trans-Pecos Texas Compilation of potassium-argon ages of Tertiary igneous rocks, Trans-Pecos Texas 1986

This compilation of potassium-argon (K-Ar) ages of igneous rocks of the Tertiary volcanic field of Trans-Pecos Texas includes all published ages known to us as well as many unpublished results.

Hydrogeology of a gypsum playa, northern Salt Basin, Texas Hydrogeology of a gypsum playa, northern Salt Basin, Texas 1986

The northern Salt Basin in West Texas and New Mexico is a closed hydrologic system in which discharge of ground-water flow occurs in a series of playas, or salt flats.

Historical shoreline changes in Trinity, Galveston, West, and East Bays, Texas Gulf coast Historical shoreline changes in Trinity, Galveston, West, and East Bays, Texas Gulf coast 1986

Changes in shoreline position occurring for more than a century provide estimates of the relative stability of shorelines and, along the Texas coast, allow comparisons of shoreline changes before and after human modifications became significant.
