Three-dimensional seismic interpretations of Miocene strata in Vermilion and South Marsh Island areas, Gulf of Mexico
(Texas Tech University, 2004-08)
The Louisiana continental shelf is the most prolific offshore hydrocarbon province in the nation. Siliciclastic Miocene strata in south Louisiana and the northern Gulf of Mexico continental shelf is the most productive ...
Classification and characterization of recently buried soils in the southern High Plains
(Texas Tech University, 2002-08)
The Southern High Plains is an extensive plateau, which lacks any major topographic variation. ReUef is provided locally by several types of landforms on the otherwise flat landscape of the Southern High Plains. Dunes, ...
Depositional and diagenetic history of the late Triassic Dockum Group, Young Ranch, Nolan County, Texas
(Texas Tech University, 2002-05)
The Late Triassic Dockum Group is a series of continental sediments comprised of lacustrine, deltaic, and fluvial deposits. Dockum sediments are found in Eastern New Mexico, Colorado, and West Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. ...
Lower Pennsylvanian stratigraphy of the Central Colorado Trough
(Texas Tech University, 2003-08)
The Central Colorado Trough formed as a result of the uplift of the Ancestral Rocky Mountains. With uplift, sediments were eroded from the adjacent highlands and deposited in the trough. The Lower Pennsylvanian stratigraphy ...

Mineralogy and geochemistry of paleosols in the Javelina and Black Peaks formations (late Cretaceous-Paleocene), Big Bend National Park, Texas
(Texas Tech University, 2000-05)
A conformable section of Upper Cretaceous and Lower Tertiary sedimentary rocks is exposed on Dawson Creek on the west side of Big Bend National Park, Texas. In this study the upper units of the Javelina Formation and the ...
The morphology and ontogeny of Typothorax coccinarum (Archosauria, Stagonolepididae) from the upper triassic of the American Southwest
(Texas Tech University, 2002-12)
The aetosaur Typothorax coccinarum in known from abundant material from the Late Triassic Chinle Formation and Dockum Group of the American southwest, particularly in Arizona, New Mexico, and west Texas. Redondasuchus ...
Contact aureole rheology of the White Horse pluton
(Texas Tech University, 2004-08)
The 160 Ma White Horse pluton intruded a thick sequence of miogeoclinal Paleozoic carbonate rocks in the northeastern Great Basin Region, Nevada. The dominantly quartz monzonite pluton (-16 km^ of exposure) lacks internal ...
Crustal xenoliths from Potrillo Maar: Implications for evolution of continental crust beneath the southern Rio Grande rift
(Texas Tech University, 2003-08)
The mid-crustal xenoliths from Potrillo maar record a petrologic and geochemical history that has until now been unknown from the Potrillo volcanic field. The igneous and meta-igneous xenoliths are samples of one or more ...
Stable isotope geochemistry of caliche in the Blackwater Draw Formation, southern High Plains, Texas
(Texas Tech University, 2001-12)
Stable carbon and oxygen isotopic ratios were measured for soil carbonate and organic matter from three successive caliche horizons in the type section of the Blackwater Draw Formation in northern Lubbock County, Texas. ...
