Geologic map of the Bofecillos Mountains area, Trans-Pecos Texas Geologic map of the Bofecillos Mountains area, Trans-Pecos Texas 1970

The Bofecillos Mountains area of Trans-Pecos Texas contains a Tertiary volcanic vent and a varied sequence of lava flows, tuff, ash-flow tuff, and associated conglomerate, sandstone, and mudrock; after most of the volcanic activity had ceased, the area was block faulled and later dissected into a

Facies and genesis of a hurricane-washover fan, St. Joseph Island, central Texas coast Facies and genesis of a hurricane-washover fan, St. Joseph Island, central Texas coast 1970

Two distinctive subaerial physiographic features that form a substantial portion, by area, of most barrier islands along the Texas coast are the washover fan and the tidal delta. Volumetrically, washover fan deposits and tidal delta deposits form a significant part of each barrier island.

Pre-Chappel conodonts of the Llano region, Texas Pre-Chappel conodonts of the Llano region, Texas 1970

This work was begun in 1964 and substantially completed in 1965; at that time conodont zones had been established in North America only for the Upper Devonian, by Clark and Becker (1960) for the Great Basin and Collinson, Scott, and Rexroad (1962) for the mid-continent.

Sulfur in West Texas:  its geology and economics Sulfur in West Texas: its geology and economics 1969

Sulfur, along with salt, coal, and limestone, is one of the basic raw materials of the chemical industry. A nation’s per capita sulfur consumption is a reliable index to its chemical production and a rough index to its standard of living.
