Epigenetic zonation and fluid flow history of uranium-bearing fluvial aquifer systems, south Texas uranium province Epigenetic zonation and fluid flow history of uranium-bearing fluvial aquifer systems, south Texas uranium province 1982

The Oligocene-Miocene fluvial uranium host aquifers of the South Texas uranium province were deposited principally as syndepositionally oxidized sands and muds.

Upper Tertiary and Quaternary depositional systems, central coastal plain, Texas -- regional geology of the coastal aquifer and potential liquid-waste repositories Upper Tertiary and Quaternary depositional systems, central coastal plain, Texas -- regional geology of the coastal aquifer and potential liquid-waste repositories 1981

Upper Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene deposits in the subsurface of the central Coastal Plain of Texas were subdivided into six operational units comprising the surface-defined Fleming, Goliad, Willis, Lissie, and Beaumont Formations.

Depositional and diagenetic history of the Sligo and Hosston Formations(Lower Cretaceous) in south Texas Depositional and diagenetic history of the Sligo and Hosston Formations(Lower Cretaceous) in south Texas 1981

The Sligo and Hosston Formations of Aptian age occur over thousands of square miles in the subsurface of South Texas.

Regional cross sections of the Texas panhandle:  Precambrian to mid-Permian Regional cross sections of the Texas panhandle: Precambrian to mid-Permian 1981

The Texas Panhandle traditionally has been an important source of mineral resources, especially petroleum, and resources will continue to contribute heavily to the economy of the area. The seven cross sections of this report synthesize the subsurface geology of the region.

A preliminary assessment of the geologic setting, hydrology, and geochemistry of the Hueco Tanks geothermal area, Texas and New Mexico A preliminary assessment of the geologic setting, hydrology, and geochemistry of the Hueco Tanks geothermal area, Texas and New Mexico 1981

The Hueco Tanks geothermal area contains five known but now inactive hot wells (50° to 71°C). The area trends north-south along the east side of Tularosa-Hueco Bolson astride the Texas-New Mexico border approximately 40 km northeast of El Paso.

Statistical analysis of lineaments and their relation to fracturing, faulting, and halokinesis in the east Texas basin Statistical analysis of lineaments and their relation to fracturing, faulting, and halokinesis in the east Texas basin 1981

Lineament analysis is part of a broad spectrum of structural studies employed to determine the tectonic stability of the East Texas Basin. Such information is necessary to assess the suitability of East Texas salt domes as possible repository sites for the storage of high-level nuclear wastes.
