Lower Miocene (Fleming) depositional episode of the Texas coastal plain and continental shelf: structural framework, facies, and hydrocarbon resources | 1986 | The Fleming Group and its basinward equivalents constitute the stratigraphic record of one of the major Cenozoic depositional episodes of the northern Gulf Coast Basin. The depositional sequence representing the episode is bounded above by the Amphistegina B shale and below by the Anahuac shale. |

Investigation of underpressuring in the deep-basin brine aquifer, Palo Duro basin, Texas | 1985 | Although plots of pressure versus depth are useful for understanding the hydrodynamics of ground-water systems, they can be difficult to interpret. |
Orr, E.D., Kreitler, C.W., Senger, R.K. | Bureau of Economic Geology |
| |
Depositional history, facies analysis, and production characteristics of hydrocarbon-bearing sediments, offshore Texas | 1985 | Large areas of offshore Texas remain unexplored even though sedimentary facies and structural traps favor the generation and accumulation of hydrocarbons. |
Morton, R.A., Jirik, L.A., Foote, R.Q. | Bureau of Economic Geology |
| |
Abandoned oil fields of the Texas Gulf coast and the east Texas basin | 1985 | One nonconventional target for increased oil recovery in Texas is oil that remains in abandoned reservoirs, defined as reservoirs that produced no oil or gas in 1977 and 1982. |
Dutton, S.P., Garrett, C.M., Jr. | Bureau of Economic Geology |

Amount and nature of occluded water in bedded salt, Palo Duro basin, Texas | 1985 | Bedded salt of the Permian San Andres Formation, Palo Duro Basin, Texas, is under consideration for the isolation of high-level nuclear waste. |
Fisher, R.S. | Bureau of Economic Geology |

Beach and vegetation-line changes at Galveston Island, Texas: erosion, deposition, and recovery from Hurricane Alicia | 1985 | On August 18, 1983, Hurricane Alicia crossed the upper Texas Gulf Coast and caused extensive property damage, especially along West Beach of Galveston Island. |

Tectonic map of the Basin and Range Province of Texas and adjacent Mexico | 1985 | Henry, C.D., Price, J.G., Gluck, J.K., Bockoven, N.T. | Bureau of Economic Geology | |

Submerged lands of Texas, Galveston - Houston area: sediments, geochemistry, benthic macroinvertebrates, and associated wetlands | 1985 | 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). |
White, W.A., Calnan, T.R., Morton, R.A., Kimble, R.S., Littleton, T.G., McGowen, J.H., Nance, H.S., Schmedes, K.E. | Bureau of Economic Geology |
| |
Natural Strain in Diapiric and Glacial Rock Salt, with Emphasis on Oakwood Dome, East Texas | 1985 | Structural styles in the gravity-driven, ductile flow processes of glaciers and diapirs are analyzed. When dampened by rainfall, salt glaciers flow rapidly under minute differential stress. |
Jackson, M.P.A. | Bureau of Economic Geology |

The Wilcox Group and Carrizo Sand (Paleogene) in east-central Texas: depositional systems and deep-basin lignite | 1985 | Ayers Jr., W.B., Lewis, A.H., Bissett, F.H., Mazza, D.B., Prouty, D.A., Reutter, D.C., Sutley, A.M. | Bureau of Economic Geology |
