Abstract
Lithofacies, Stacking Patterns, and Depositional Environments of the Permian Queen Formation, Sterling and Glasscock Counties, Texas
Abstract
Deposition of the Queen Formation in Sterling and Glasscock Counties, Texas was strictly terrestrial. Through the analysis of several cores and petrophysical well logs, the non-marine nature of the Queen in this region was determined. Lithologies, primary and secondary sedimentary structures, and stratal relationships were described from these cores and well logs such that lithofacies and associated depositional environments were characterized and interpreted. Three lithofacies representing three distinct depositional environments were identified. The lithologies of the rocks and the stacking patterns of these lithologies indicate that deposition of the Queen Formation in this area occurred in ephemeral stream or wadi, wadi fan, and eolian settings.
