TEXAS The BLUEBONNET MEMBER of LAKE WACO FORMATION Rare 1963 BAYLOR Report

Description

NICE PAIR OF REPORTS ON THE WACO AREA!!
This is Baylor Geological Studies Bulletin #4,
The Bluebonnet Member, Lake Waco Formations (Upper Cretaceous), Central Texas - A Lagoonal Deposit
. This 46-page book was published in 1963. It is an interesting detailed report on a group of unusual Cretaceous rocks about 20 feet thick unlike those above and below. They took a detailed look at numerous localities and measured several different aspects of the rocks. They conclude that the rocks represent a lagoonal deposit, formed when a small bay or lagoon began to fill in with sediments. By small, we are actually talking about an area including parts of multiple counties!
The text contains many tables and some helpful illustrations that help tell the story. A nice book for anyone form the area, or anyone interested in the sedimentary rocks of central Texas. Measures 12x9 inches, so its a little larger than usual. See first seven photos.
