Item A study of the characteristics and sedimentation of certain sand dunes in Lynn, Lamb, and Bailey Counties(1939-06) Tanner, William FrancisNot AvailableItem Cenozoic stratigraphy and geomorphology of Lynn and Terry counties, Texas.(Texas Tech University, 1975-08) Goolsby, Jimmy EarlNot availableItem Cretaceous Foraminifera of Lynn, Terry, Hockley and Lamb Counties, Texas(Texas Tech University, 1953-08) Kessinger, Walter PaulThe Foraminifera of the Kiamichi and Duck Creek formations have been described from a composite section. On the Llano Estacado. Biostratigraphic observations were noted and paleoecologic deductions have been made. Charts showing vertical distribution of species were compiled and compared with the vertical distribution of species in the same formations in North Texas. From this comparison, it is tentatively concluded that the black shade of the upper Kiamichi on the Llano Estacado is equivalent in age to the lower Duck Creek in North Texas.Item Evaluation of volcanic ash as a stratigraphic marker in playa basins, Western Texas(Texas Tech University, 1984-12) Cornwell, Kevin JohnNot availableItem Geology of playa 21, Lynn County, Texas(Texas Tech University, 1995-05) Byerly, Brittan KeithThe geologic history of Playa 21, located in the Double Lakes Basin, Lynn Co., Texas, was investigated by examination of 1250 feet of test borings, core data and field observations. These data indicate that the basin formed in a depression on Tertiary Ogallala sediments. Dissolution of underlying Cretaceous carbonates and/or salts did not play a role in the development of the basin. Ponding occurred during wet periods, resulting in accumulation of up to thirty-five feet of lacustrine deposits. Later the ephemeral nature of the playa, characterized by alternating periods of mudcracking, piping, deflation and downward eluviation of fine material, deepened and widened the playa. Three separate areas of eolian deposits adjacent to Playa 21 record dominant sand-transporting paleowind directions. Beginning approximately 10,000 years before present, deposition of over 6 feet of Lofton Series soil reflects the most recent change in Playa 21's environment.Item Geology of the Double Lakes area, Lynn County, Texas(Texas Tech University, 1973-08) Buchanan, John WilsonNot Available.Item Late pleistocene geology of Pluvial Lake Mound, Lynn and Terry counties, Texas(Texas Tech University, 1968-06) Bates, Thomas RobertNot Available
