In cooperation with several State and Federal agencies, the Bureau of Economic Geology has conducted several projects on the geology, origin, and extent of uranium resources in Texas.

The Mineral Resources of Texas map is designed to illustrate the historical and current (as of 1976) distribution of industrial mineral occurrences and production sites in Texas.

Geologic map that depicts the surface geology of parts of Presidio, Brewster, and Terrell Counties, Texas. The 14-page booklet indicates geologic formations, abbreviations, and ages.

Contributing about 25 percent of all the energy ever produced in the United States, Texas has for 50 years led the nation in energy production.

Papers in this volume were presented at the Gulf Coast Lignite Conference held in Austin, Texas, June 1976.
Papers were edited, in some cases extensively, and subjectively grouped by discipline, paralleling that of their presentation at the Conference.

The land surface in the Texas Coastal Zone is interlaced with active and potentially active surface faults. They are subtle features which are difficult to identify until they have caused damage to manmade structures. To date (1978), significant damage has resulted.

Tertiary strata of the Texas Gulf Coast comprise a number of terrigenous depositional wedges, some of which thicken abruptly at their downdip ends as a result of contemporaneous movement of growth faults and underlying salt.
