Abstract: Biostratigraphy of the Ojinaga and San Carlos Formations
Cretaceous of West Texas and Northeastern Chihuahua

Upper Cretaceous rocks in west Texas and northeastern Chihuahua, Mexico,
have been divided into three formations, the Ojinaga Formation, the San Carlos
Formation, and the Picacho Formation.
A zonation based on morphologic changes in stratigraphically successive
Placenticeras samples is proposed in order to supplement the established Upper
Cretaceous collignonicerid zonation. The correlation coefficients of twenty -
six stratigraphically unrelated samples are statistically compared with an
established Placenticeras evolutionary sequence and time correlations are made
at the ninety percent probability level.
The results of the biostratigraphic analysis suggest that the Senonian strandline
in Presidio and Jeff Davis Counties, Texas, and northeastern Chihuahua
moved in a southeasterly direction during an extensive marine regression. End_of_Record - Last_Page 14--------
