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.

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.

San Andreas carbonates in the Texas panhandle:  sedimentation and diagenesis associated with magnesium-calcium-chloride brines San Andreas carbonates in the Texas panhandle: sedimentation and diagenesis associated with magnesium-calcium-chloride brines 1982

The San Andres evaporitic sequence in the Palo Duro Basin comprises several thick carbonate units in its lower part and many thin units in its upperpart. To the south, across the Northern Shelf of the Midland Basin, evaporites pinch out and carbonates predominate.

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.
