Pennsylvanian depositional systems in north-central Texas -- a guide for interpreting terrigenous clastic facies in a cratonic basin | 1973 | This field guide is designed to provide an opportunity to observe a variety of facies that are the fundamental blocks with which principal depositional systems have been fabricated. Available data is provided and a genetic interpretation is proposed. |

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. |

Upper Pennsylvanian limestone banks, north central Texas | 1975 | Nelson and others (1962) define a bank as " ... a skeletal deposit formed by organisms which do not have the ecologic potential to erect a rigid wave-resistant structure." They explain that a bank may have any geometry. |

Depositional systems and hydrocarbon resource potential of the Pennsylvanian system, Palo Duro and Dalhart Basins, Texas panhandle | 1980 | Pennsylvanian clastic and carbonate strata were deposited in a variety of environments within the Palo Duro Basin. Maximum accumulation (totaling 750 m or 2,400 ft) occurred along a northwest-southeast axis. |

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. |

Stratigraphy of the Blach Ranch -- Crystal Falls section (Upper Pennsylvanian), northern Stephens County, Texas | 1960 | Three mappable members in the upper part of the Thrifty formation (Blach Ranch limestone, unnamed shale, and Breckenridge limestone), two in the lower part of the overlying Harpersville formation (Quinn clay and Crystal Falls limestone), and six minor lentils, all in the outcropping Cisco group, |
