Origin of Siliceous Dockum Conglomerates

Robert Roth

Abstract

A fossiliferous chert shingle discovered in a Dockum outlier in Motley County, Texas, contained fusulinids which apparently came from the Hueco, Franklin, or Glass mountains of West Texas. A suite of Dockum pebbles was collected from this outlier and a megascopic and microscopic examination indicated a source near the Marathon uplift, a distance of at least 300 miles.
