Fourteen black-and-white geologic maps prepared in 1957 and 1959 and obtained from the Department of Geological Sciences, University of Texas, and sold by the Bureau of Economic Geology. Geology compiled by F. L. Whitney; drafted by S. Espey, W. M. Strong, or W. L. Brooks; edited by K. P.

This paper brings part of the classification of upper Albian ammonites up to date and up to modern standards for some of the Texas species. Twelve new species are described (Drakeoceras georgetownense, D. drakei, D. arringtoni, D.kummeli, D. gabrielense, D. dellense, D.

In the Great Plains the succession of gross ecological conditions through Neogene and Quaternary time may be interpreted from the stratigraphy, geomorphological history, buried soils, and fossil mollusks and plants.

Uranium was discovered near Tordilla Hill in Karnes County, south-central Texas, in the fall of 1954, in the upper part of the Jackson formation of late Eocene age.

The Devonian-Mississippian transition outcrops of central Texas are here described summarily and assigned to a new stratigraphic unit, the Houy Formation. The beds included are mainly Upper Devonian, but partly Lower Mississippian. Locally a basal fraction may be Middle Devonian.

Fall Prong quadrangle is in the marginal portion of the Edwards Plateau near the southeastern corner of the Llano region. Almost three-quarters of the quadrangle is within the Edwards Plateau, and the rest consists of valleys of the Llano basin cutting back into the plateau.

The lead and zinc deposits in the Upper Cambrian rocks of central Texas are reviewed in the light of new detailed information. Included are analytical data for all deposits, detailed stratigraphic sections of the Cambrian rocks, and maps at a scale of 4 inches to the mile.

Uranium minerals have been found at several localities in west Texas. In the King Mountain area in southwestern Upton County carnotite forms coatings along joint planes and in borings in marineCretaceous limestone.
