Limestone is one of the most important nonfuel mineral resources in Texas. Annual production exceeds $30 million; value added in the manufacture of such products as cement and lime amounts to about $100 million annually.

This report treats the sedimentary petrology and history of the Haymond Formation, a monotonous sequence of interbedded sandstone and shale that has a maximum preserved thickness of 4,300 feet.

Based on need for convenient, small-scale cartographic units, the basal Cretaceous rocks in Texas from Red River to Burnet County and on the Callahan Divide are herein divided into three distinctive lithologic sequences.

The wedge-shaped Black Gap area in southern Brewsier County, Texas, occupies approximately 4,50 square miles east of the Big Bend National Park.

Stonewall quadrangle includes part of the southern margin of the Llano region and part of the eastern margin of the Edwards Plateau where most of the plateau suriace has been destroyed by erosion.

This volume presents the texts of papers presented at a Symposium...sponsored by the Southwestern Federation of Geological Societies and The University of Texas in Austin, January 29, 1965.

Incidence of bloating among approximately 600 clay samples from East Texas, ranging in age from Gulfian (Late Cretaceous) to Recent, correlates principally with clay mineralogy-and pH--together an indication of bulk composition--and to a lesser extent with texture, loss on ignition, and content o

When a reference is made to the mineral resources of Texas, most people think of oil and gas, and some few also of sulfur. And, of course, it is true that of the whopping $4.4 billion dollars’ worth of minerals produced in Texas in 1963, 92% was oil, gas, and natural gas liquids.
