Summary:
Is Lower Cretaceous formation mapped in southeastern Jack and southern Wise Cos, TX (Fort Worth syncline). Overlies Glen Rose Formation (Lower Cretaceous); underlies Walnut Clay (Lower Cretaceous). Is not mapped north of feather-out of the Glen Rose Formation along Waggoner Branch in vicinity of Decatur, Wise Co, TX. Antlers Formation (Lower Cretaceous) is mapped northward. Paluxy described as sand, very fine grained to fine grained, in part argillaceous and silty, cross-bedded to thinly bedded and massive, light brownish yellow to light gray; clay, very thinly bedded to massive, light gray to light red. Thickness 225+/-ft. Paluxy is shown to be correlative with upper part of Antlers Formation.

Overview	Mid-Gulf Coast basin

Summary:
In the study area, the Paluxy is between 1100 and 1450 ft thick. The top of the formation is found at an average subsea elevation of -9400 ft. Section consists of alternating layers of sands, siltstones, and shales. The sands are quite abundant, with lenses 30 to 50 ft thick. Overlies Mooringsport Formation and underlies undifferentiated Washita-Fredericksburg Formations. No production in West Raymond Field. Age is Early Cretaceous (Comanchean).
