Regional Tertiary cross sections -- Texas Gulf coast | 1976 | The Bureau of Economic Geology has been conducting regional studies of the Frio Formation along the Texas Gulf Coast to evaluate potential geothermal energy from deep, geopressured sandstone reservoirs (Bebout, Dorfman, and Agagu, 1975; Bebout, Agagu, and Dorfman, 1975). |

Relationship of porosity formation and preservation to sandstone consolidation history -- Gulf coast Lower Tertiary Frio Formation | 1977 | Reservoir quality of lower Teritary sandstone reservoirs along the Texas Gulf Coast is controlled by sandstone depositional environment, mineralogical composition, and consolidation history (compaction, cementation, and leaching). |

Tertiary and Quaternary structure and paleotectonics of the Hueco Basin, Trans-Pecos Texas and Chihuahua, Mexico | 1991 | The Hueco Basin of Trans-Pecos Texas, which formed in response to Cenozoic extensional tectonism, lies within the southern Rio Grande rift near the poorly defined boundary between the rift and the southern Basin and Range province. |

Correlation of Tertiary rock units, West Texas | 1970 | Tertiary rocks, including sandstone, conglomerate, shale, pyroclastics, tuff, and lava, are preserved in Big Bend National Park and in a much larger area to the west and northwest. Some of the rocks have distinctive characteristics that enable recognition by their lithology. |

Upper Tertiary and Quaternary depositional systems, central coastal plain, Texas -- regional geology of the coastal aquifer and potential liquid-waste repositories | 1981 | Upper Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene deposits in the subsurface of the central Coastal Plain of Texas were subdivided into six operational units comprising the surface-defined Fleming, Goliad, Willis, Lissie, and Beaumont Formations. |

Factors controlling reservoir quality in Tertiary sandstones and their significance to geopressured geothermal production | 1981 | Variable intensity of diagenesis is the factor primarily responsible for contrasting regional reservoir quality of Tertiary sandstones from the upper and lower Texas coast. |

Sedimentary record of Cretaceous and Tertiary salt movement, east Texas basin: times, rates, and volumes of salt flow and their implications for nuclear waste isolation and petroleum exploration | 1984 | Post-Aptian strata (younger than 112 ma) in the East Texas Basin were strongly influenced by halokinesis and recorded the evolution associated sate structures. |
