ABSTRACT
Gulf
of Mexico in the Early Jurassic probably initiated
movement on the Mexia and Talco fault zones of East Texas. The fault patterns associated
with these zones are generally compatible with a model whereby the Gulf
opened along a
northwest-trending spreading center. This implies divergent strike-slip movement on the
Mexia fault zone and simple rifting on the Talco fault zone. Late Jurassic-Eocene movement
on the zones is most likely due to mobilization and movement of the Jurassic-age Louann
Salt.
