Surficial evidence of tectonic activity and erosion rates, Palestine, Keechi, and Oakwood salt domes, east Texas | 1982 | Surficial geologic investigations at Palestine, Keechi, and Oakwood salt domes have provided information necessary for evaluating these domes as nuclear waste repositories. Diapir growth uplifted sediments to form domes and created complex radial faulting. |

Oakwood salt dome, east Texas: geologic framework, growth history, and hydrocarbon production | 1983 | The top of mushroom-shaped Oakwood salt dome is approximately 210 m (700 ft) beneath the boundary of Freestone and Leon Counties near the southwestern end of the East Texas Basin, The dome is surrounded by Jurassic, Cretaceous, and lower Tertiary marine and nonrnarine strata. |

Lithology, microstructures, fluid inclusions, and geochemistry of rock salt and of the cap-rock contact in Oakwood Dome, east Texas: significance for nuclear waste storage | 1982 | Oakwood salt dome in Leon and Freestone Counties, Texas, has a core composed of a diapiric salt stock at a depth of 355 m. A vertical borehole in the center of the salt stock yielded 57.3 m of continuous rock-salt core overlain by 137 m of anhydrite-calcite cap rock. |

Origin and diagenesis of cap rock, Gyp Hill and Oakwood salt domes, Texas | 1983 | Petrographic and geochemical studies of caprock core from two salt domes, Gyp Hill in South Texas and Oakwood in East Texas, reveal the significantly different diagenetic histories of each dome. Cap rock on Gyp Hill is now forming within a shallow meteoric aquifer. |

Three-dimensional ground-water modeling in depositional systems, Wilcox Group, Oakwood salt dome area, east Texas | 1983 | A three-dimensional model was constructed of ground-water flow in the Wilcox-Carrizo aquifer system near Oakwood salt dome to facilitate understanding the hydrogeology around salt domes of the Gulf interior region and ultimately to evaluate the hydrologic suitability of Oakwood Dome for storage o |

Natural Strain in Diapiric and Glacial Rock Salt, with Emphasis on Oakwood Dome, East Texas | 1985 | Structural styles in the gravity-driven, ductile flow processes of glaciers and diapirs are analyzed. When dampened by rainfall, salt glaciers flow rapidly under minute differential stress. |
