Facies and diagenesis of the Austin Chalk and controls on fracture intensity -- a case study from north-central Texas | 1998 | The urban corridors associated with the Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio metropolitan areas lie on Austin Chalk outcrop. In these areas of rapid urbanization, ground-water information is needed to resolve environmental issues. The Austin Chalk also produces hydrocarbons in the deep subsurface. |

San Andreas carbonates in the Texas panhandle: sedimentation and diagenesis associated with magnesium-calcium-chloride brines | 1982 | The San Andres evaporitic sequence in the Palo Duro Basin comprises several thick carbonate units in its lower part and many thin units in its upperpart. To the south, across the Northern Shelf of the Midland Basin, evaporites pinch out and carbonates predominate. |

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. |

Diagenesis and burial history of the Lower Cretaceous Travis Peak Formation, east Texas | 1987 | Sandstone in the Travis Peak (Hosston) Formation has been extensively modified by burial diagenesis. Permeability in much of the formation has been reduced to less than 0.1 md as a result of compaction, extensive precipitation of authigenic minerals, and minor pressure solution. |

Effects of facies and diagenesis on reservoir heterogeneity: Emma San Andres field, West Texas | 1988 | Pervasively dolomitized, anhydritic carbonates of the upper San Andres Formation in the Emma field of West Texas constitute an upward-shallowing sequence of lithofacies representing four major depositional environments. |

Petrography and diagenesis of a half-billion-year-old cratonic sandstone (Hickory), Llano region, Texas | 2002 | We studied the Hickory Sandstone Member of the Riley Formation, Central Texas, to assess the diagenetic history of a cratonic sandstone, which, in spite of its great age, remains porous and permeable where it has not been buried more than 1 km. |
