Water-level controls on halite sedimentation: Permian cyclic evaporites of the Palo Duro basin | 1994 | Extensively cored cyclic evaporites of the San Andres Formation (Guadalupian) of the Palo Duro Basin, Texas Panhandle, provided fundamental information for interpreting evaporite depositional processes. |

Regional hydrodynamics of variable-density flow systems, Palo Duro basin, Texas | 1991 | In mature sedimentary basins, where mechanical compaction is negligible, the hydrodynamics is typically described by steady-state flow driven by potential energy represented by the water table, which generally follows the topography. |

Deposition and diagenesis in a marine-to-evaporite sequence: Permian Upper Wolfcamp Formation and Lower Wichita Group, Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle | 1990 | Lower Permian Wolfcamp and Wichita carbonates and anhydrites in the Palo Duro Basin, Texas Panhandle, record a change from normal-marine to marine evaporite depositional environment. |

Lithogenetic stratigraphy of the Triassic Dockum Formation, Palo Duro basin, Texas | 1989 | Four clastic depositional sequences compose the lower part of the Triassic Dockum Formation in the Palo Duro Basin. |

Tectonic structures of the Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle | 1989 | The Palo Duro Basin is a broad structural low in the southern Texas Panhandle that formed as a result of nearly continuous Pennsylvanian and Permian subsidence. True complexity of this basin is unknown because of the sparsity of structural information. |

Stratigraphy and influence of effective porosity on ground-water flow in the Wolfcamp brine aquifer, Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle | 1988 | In the Palo Duro Basin, the Wolfcampian Series (lower Permian) overlies Pennsylvanian (primarily Virgilian) strata and underlies the Wichita Group (Leonardian). |

Hydrogeologic and hydrochemical properties of salt-dissolution zones, Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle - preliminary assessment | 1987 | Ground water that moves downward from aquifers in clastic rocks of the Triassic Dockum Group and Neogene Ogallala Formation dissolves bedded halite and anhydrite in the Upper Permian evaporite section along the perimeter of the Southern High Plains in the 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. |

Effects of hydrostratigraphy and basin development on hydrodynamics of the Palo Duro Basin, Texas | 1987 | Deep brine aquifers of the Palo Duro Basin, Texas Panhandle, ranging in depth from about 1,000 to 3,000 m below land surface, are underpressured compared with the shallow Ogallala aquifer. |

Origin and evolution of deep-basin brines, Palo Duro basin, Texas | 1987 | Porous and permeable strata of the Deep-Basin Brine aquifer underlie bedded evaporites that are being considered as repositories for high-level nuclear waste isolation in the Palo Duro Basin, Texas Panhandle. Formation-water samples collected from four U.S. |
