Abstract:

End_Page 1702------------------------------

The geologic section presented herewith has been compiled from sample logs of the West Texas-New Mexico Permian basin. It shows chiefly the continuity of the formations of the Whitehorse group from the east side to the west side of the basin. The gradation of sediments in the San Andres and Clear Fork from a shale and evaporite section on the east-side outcrop to an almost solid dolomite section in the subsurface in the basin is brought out by the large scale of the section and detailed character of the logs. In addition, the thicknesses of the formations are shown and the depths to producing strata in the basin.
