Surficial evidence of tectonic activity and erosion rates, Palestine, Keechi, and Oakwood salt domes, east Texas Surficial evidence of tectonic activity and erosion rates, Palestine, Keechi, and Oakwood salt domes, east Texas 1982

Surficial geologic investigations at Palestine, Keechi, and Oakwood salt domes have provided information necessary for evaluating these domes as nuclear waste repositories. Diapir growth uplifted sediments to form domes and created complex radial faulting.

Lithology, microstructures, fluid inclusions, and geochemistry of rock salt and of the cap-rock contact in Oakwood Dome, east Texas:  significance for nuclear waste storage Lithology, microstructures, fluid inclusions, and geochemistry of rock salt and of the cap-rock contact in Oakwood Dome, east Texas: significance for nuclear waste storage 1982

Oakwood salt dome in Leon and Freestone Counties, Texas, has a core composed of a diapiric salt stock at a depth of 355 m. A vertical borehole in the center of the salt stock yielded 57.3 m of continuous rock-salt core overlain by 137 m of anhydrite-calcite cap rock.
