Wave-dominated delta systems of the Upper Cretaceous San Miguel Formation, Maverick Basin, south Texas Wave-dominated delta systems of the Upper Cretaceous San Miguel Formation, Maverick Basin, south Texas 1980

Upward-coarsening sandstone units of the Upper Cretaceous San Miguel Formation in South Texas were deposited in wave-dominated deltas during minor regressive phases, periodically interrupting a major marine transgression.

Importance of Secondary Leached Porosity in Lower Tertiary Sandstone Reservoirs along the Texas Gulf Coast Importance of Secondary Leached Porosity in Lower Tertiary Sandstone Reservoirs along the Texas Gulf Coast 1980

Secondary leached porosity is common to dominant in near surface to deep subsurface lower Tertiary sandstone reservoirs along the Texas Gulf Coast. This secondary porosity is in the form of leached feldspar grains, volcanic rock fragments, carbonate cements, and carbonate-replaced grains.
