Summary:
Pg. 15-23; 1962, IN Contributions to the geology of south Texas: San Antonio, South Texas Geol. Soc., p. 93. Stuart City formation of Atascosa group (new). Name proposed for rocks of Atascosa group in Stuart City reef trend, southern Texas (subsurface). No type well designated because data of wells that have penetrated the entire section are not available for study. Objections can be raised for this procedure of giving rocks of reef trend formational status without having any data for support. Writer [Winter] feels that, after having seen some confidential material, he is justified in his conclusion. Age is Early Cretaceous.
