Middle and Upper Permian salt-bearing strata of the Texas panhandle: lithologic and facies cross sections Middle and Upper Permian salt-bearing strata of the Texas panhandle: lithologic and facies cross sections 1981

Regional cross sections of Middle and Upper Permian rocks in the Texas Panhandle illustrate the lithology, depositional systems, and structure of these salt-bearing strata.

Geology and geohydrology of the Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1980) Geology and geohydrology of the Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1980) 1981

Integrated study of the basin structure, tectonic history, physical stratigraphy, hydrogeology, geochemistry, geomorphology, natural resources, and rock physics of the Palo Duro and Dalhart Basins in the Texas Panhandle is part of a national evaluation of ancient salt basins as potential sites fo

Smackover and lower Buckner Formations, south Texas: depositional systems on a Jurassic carbonate ramp Smackover and lower Buckner Formations, south Texas: depositional systems on a Jurassic carbonate ramp 1981

The Smackover and lower part of the Buckner Formations (Oxfordian) comprise a thick regressive sedimentary sequence deposited on a Jurassic carbonate ramp. Four major depositional systems are recognized: (1) basinal, (2) low-energy open shelf, (3) high-energy shoal, and (4) sabkha.

Impact of evaporite dissolution and collapse on highways and other cultural features in the Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico Impact of evaporite dissolution and collapse on highways and other cultural features in the Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico 1981

Geological investigations in the Texas Panhandle and eastern New Mexico indicate that regional subsurface dissolution of Permian evaporites has occurred and is an ongoing process.

Lineament analyses based on landsat imagery, Texas panhandle Lineament analyses based on landsat imagery, Texas panhandle 1981

Analysis of seven frames of Landsat imagery covering the Texas Panhandle and adjacent areas revealed linear physiographic features including stream channels, stream valleys, scarps, and aligned playa-lake depressions.

Geology and geohydrology of the east Texas basin -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1980) Geology and geohydrology of the east Texas basin -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1980) 1981

The third year of research was highlighted by the integration of regional basinal studies with growth histories for specific domes, studies of cap-rock diagenesis and salt deformation, preliminary studies of ground-water flow and geochemistry around Oakwood Dome, and preliminary studies of micros

The Salado-Tansill and Alibates Formations are the youngest evaporite and carbonate facies within a thick Permian sequence of evaporites, carbonates, and red beds in the Texas Panhandle.
