GEOLOGY AND WATER RESOURCES OF THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE PANHANDLE OF TEXAS. By CHARLES NEWTON GOULD. INTRODUCTION. Area covered. The area described in this report lies in the western part of the Panhandle of Texas and includes Sherman, Moore, Potter, Randall, Dallam, Hartley, Oldham, and Deaf Smith counties. The region is 120 miles long and 78 miles wide and contains approxi­ mately 9,360 square miles. It extends from 101° 35' to 103° west longitude and from 34° 45' to 36° 30' north latitude, and is bounded on the north by Oklahoma and on the west by New Mexico. Its location is shown in PL I. Sources of data. During the summer of 1903 the writer, accom­ panied by several students from the University of Oklahoma, made a reconnaissance across the Panhandle of Texas, noting the general geologic and hydrographic features of the region.

  • The Los Medaños Member of the Permian (Ochoan) Rustler Formation
    The Los Medaños Member of the Permian (Ochoan) Rustler Formation by Dennis W. Powers, HC 12 Box 87, Anthony, TX 79821; and Robert M. Holt, Dept. of Earth and Environmental Science, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM 87801 Abstract We propose Los Medaños Member as the formal name for the lower part of the Upper Permian (Ochoan) Rustler Formation, below R31E the Culebra Dolomite Member, in the north- ern Delaware Basin. The stratotype is at the exhaust shaft of the Waste Isolation Pilot Exhaust Plant (WIPP) site in sec 20 T22S R31E, Eddy shaft T22S County, New Mexico. The name is derived from the nearby sand dune field (Los Meda- ños) and the quadrangle map of the same WIPP site name. Cores of the Los Medaños from WIPP studies correspond to the exhaust-shaft Los Medanos~ geology, though larger features revealed in T23S the shaft must be inferred.

  • Top-Industries-Texas-Panhandle
    TOP INDUSTRIES of Amarillo & the Texas Panhandle Amarillo’s assets extend far beyond its agricultural commodities and vast land resources. The Texas Panhandle’s economy encompasses a diverse group of industries, from livestock and food technologies to renewable energy and logistics. Each industry helps maintain the region’s, as well as Amarillo’s, economic health. Here’s a look at the top industries of the Texas Panhandle. In the late 1980s, the Amarillo area faced paltry business conditions and limited employment opportunities for area residents. At that time, the unemployment rate was higher than the national average and consumer activity was in a state of decline. Fast forward 30 years, and Amarillo touts an unemployment rate lower than the national average and a diverse industry list. National reports consistently list Amarillo as one of the “Best Cities to Start a Business.” NUMBER OF BUSINESSES (2016) AMARILLO POTTER COUNTY RANDALL COUNTY 10,108 7,044 4,615 businesses businesses businesses 102,970 person labor force TOP 5 LEADING INDUSTRIES BY JOB IN POTTER COUNTY 1 MANUFACTURING 2 RETAIL 3 PROFESSIONAL, 4 HEALTHCARE & 5 ACCOMMODATION & SCIENTIFIC & SOCIAL SERVICES FOOD SERVICES TECHNICAL SERVICE TOP 5 LEADING INDUSTRIES BY JOB IN RANDALL COUNTY 1 RETAIL 2 EDUCATION 3 HEALTHCARE & 4 ACCOMMODATION & 5 OTHER SERVICES SOCIAL SERVICES FOOD SERVICES (Repair, Personal Care, Laundry, Religious, etc.) MAJOR INDUSTRIES OF THE TEXAS PANHANDLE Amarillo is one of the top areas for generating wind energy, with Texas being the largest producer of wind power in the country.

  • 112 Appendix B Hydrogeologic and Soils Factors
    APPENDIX B HYDROGEOLOGIC AND SOILS FACTORS INFLUENCING LEAKAGE POTENTIAL FROM THE CONCHAS-HUDSON CANAL SYSTEM, ARCH HURLEY CONSERVANCY DISTRICT, QUAY AND SAN MIGUEL COUNTIES, NEW MEXICO by John W. Hawley, Senior Hydrogeologist New Mexico Water Resources Research Institute and John F. Kennedy, GIS Specialist/Hydrogeologist New Mexico Water Resources Research Institute October 2005 INTRODUCTION The following discussion of geology and soils in the Arch Hurley Conservancy District (District) study area introduces the major landscape features (landforms) and surficial geologic units of the Conchas-Hudson Canal system between Conchas Reservoir in San Miguel County and the eastern part of the Tucumcari (irrigation) Project in Quay County. Emphasis is on hydrogeologic and soils factors that influence leakage from not only the canal corridor but also the complex network of laterals, ditches and field- drainage features that characterize irrigated parts of the District. Of particular importance is the historic role played by Project operations (since 1946) in recharge of the shallow- alluvial and bedrock (Entrada Sandstone) aquifer systems of the Tucumcari Metropolitan area. The latter topic was first addressed in detail by Trauger and Bushman (1964) and is only briefly covered here. 112 The geologic setting of the entire study area is the subject of a recent comprehensive review paper that was written specifically for a general audience by Adrian Hunt (Director, New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science; 1998). Hydrogeologic characteristics of major stratigraphic units exposed or shallowly buried along the canal corridor are summarized in Table B1, which also includes a list of supporting references. Distribution patterns and leakage potential of surficial-geologic units and soils are summarized in Tables B2-B5 in Attachment B1 to this Appendix.

Additionally, geochronology can be used to correlate sections across the marine and terrestrial realm and around the world. Changes in ecosystems or isotopic composition of deposited rocks will be influenced by local effects, but can also have a global signal. With geochronlogy, the same time interval can be found in distant regions, and if a phenomenon (e.g. a carbon isotope excursion) was global in scope, many different localities each from the same time interval would show the same signal. Here I present high-resolution uranium-lead geochronology pertaining to two mass ex- tinctions: the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction (around 66 million years ago, Ma) and the Permo-Triassic mass extinction (around 252 Ma).
