Regional stratigraphic cross sections, Comanche Cretaceous (Fredericksburg - Washita Division), Edwards and Stockton plateaus, West Texas:  interpretation of sedimentary facies, depositional cycles, and tectonics Regional stratigraphic cross sections, Comanche Cretaceous (Fredericksburg - Washita Division), Edwards and Stockton plateaus, West Texas: interpretation of sedimentary facies, depositional cycles, and tectonics 2000

Six interlocking regional stratigraphic cross sections of Lower Cretaceous strata (middle Albian-lower Cenomanian) of the Edwards and Stockton Plateaus of West Texas illustrate the vertical and lateral extent of lithostratigraphic units and distribution of facies and facies tracts.

Cotton Valley (Upper Jurassic) and Hosston (Lower Cretaceous) depositional systems and their influence on salt tectonics in the east Texas basin Cotton Valley (Upper Jurassic) and Hosston (Lower Cretaceous) depositional systems and their influence on salt tectonics in the east Texas basin 1984

Correct interpretation of the effect of basin infilling on salt mobilization is critical to understanding salt dome growth and stability. The size of salt structures in the East Texas Basin is determined by the original thickness of the underlying Louann Salt (Middle Jurassic).

Cretaceous rocks in the Southern High Plains, traditionally considered to be part of the High Plains aquifer and recharged by the overlying Ogallala aquifer, actually contain three aquifers with different recharge sources.
