Regional cross sections of the Texas panhandle: Precambrian to mid-Permian Regional cross sections of the Texas panhandle: Precambrian to mid-Permian 1981

The Texas Panhandle traditionally has been an important source of mineral resources, especially petroleum, and resources will continue to contribute heavily to the economy of the area. The seven cross sections of this report synthesize the subsurface geology of the region.

Middle and Upper Permian salt-bearing strata of the Texas panhandle: lithologic and facies cross sections Middle and Upper Permian salt-bearing strata of the Texas panhandle: lithologic and facies cross sections 1981

Regional cross sections of Middle and Upper Permian rocks in the Texas Panhandle illustrate the lithology, depositional systems, and structure of these salt-bearing strata.

Regional structural cross sections, mid-Permian to Quaternary strata, Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico: distribution of evaporites and areas of evaporite dissolution and collapse Regional structural cross sections, mid-Permian to Quaternary strata, Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico: distribution of evaporites and areas of evaporite dissolution and collapse 1988

The Palo Duro Basin of the Texas Panhandle and eastern New Mexico contains bedded Permian salts of sufficient thickness and depth for the basin to be considered as a potential site for long-term storage and isolation of high-level nuclear waste.

Geometry and distribution of fluvial and deltaic sandstones (Pennsylvanian and Permian), north-central Texas Geometry and distribution of fluvial and deltaic sandstones (Pennsylvanian and Permian), north-central Texas 1969

Upper Pensylvanian and lower Permian rocks of the Eastern Shelf in North-central Texas are composed of 10 to 15 repetitive sequences including open shelf, deltaic, fluvial, and interdeltaic depositional systems.

Facies patterns and depositional history of a Permian Sabkha complex -- Red Cave Formation, Texas panhandle Facies patterns and depositional history of a Permian Sabkha complex -- Red Cave Formation, Texas panhandle 1980

The Red Cave Formation (Permian, Leonard Series) in the Texas Panhandle consists of cyclic, red-bed clastic and carbonate-evaporite members that reflect deposition in extensive coastal sabkhas.

Tansill, Salado, and Alibates Formations: Upper Permian evaporite/carbonate strata of the Texas panhandle Tansill, Salado, and Alibates Formations: Upper Permian evaporite/carbonate strata of the Texas panhandle 1981

The Salado-Tansill and Alibates Formations are the youngest evaporite and carbonate facies within a thick Permian sequence of evaporites, carbonates, and red beds in the Texas Panhandle.

McGillis, K.A., Presley, M.W. Geological Circular Bureau of Economic Geology
Styles of deformation in Permian strata, Texas panhandle Styles of deformation in Permian strata, Texas panhandle 1984

Permian strata in the Texas Panhandle exhibit a variety of deformation styles that are attributed to tectonic stresses as well as to collapse caused by evaporite dissolution. At Caprock Canyons State Park, deformation structures above salt dissolution zones include veins, faults, and folds.

Organic geochemistry of the Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian, Palo Duro basin, Texas Organic geochemistry of the Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian, Palo Duro basin, Texas 1986

Cores from deep stratigraphic test wells provide an excellent basis for determination of source-rock quality and thermal maturity of potential hydrocarbon source rocks in the Palo Duro Basin. Total organic carbon (TOC) content in Pennsylvanian and Wolfcampian rocks is highest in basinal shales.

A saponite and chlorite-rich clay assemblage in Permian evaporite and red-bed strata, Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle A saponite and chlorite-rich clay assemblage in Permian evaporite and red-bed strata, Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle 1987

Permian strata in the Palo Duro Basin consist of multicyclic sequences of carbonate, nodular and laminated anhydrite, bedded halite, chaotic mudstone-halite, and terrigenous clastic sediments.
