Title: Paleogeology of Panhandle of Texas

Author(s): Robert Roth (2)

Abstract:

Cuttings from hundreds of wells drilled in the Panhandle of Texas have been examined and fossil content identified. Using this information as a base, the stratigraphic column has been subdivided into fourteen time-stratigraphic units. The lithologic character and orogenic environment of each unit are briefly described, and an isopachous figure portrays the areal distribution. Petrographic analyses have been made of pre-Cambrian rocks encountered by the drill. A figure shows the areal distribution of petrographic types. The tectonics and sedimentation are discussed in a regional light.
