Comments on Geologic Parameters

16 Rock Mineralogy:
Mineralogic composition of the Gulf Coast Oligocene Frio was summarized by Land and Macpherson (1992). This compilation represents the productive intervals and may not be representative of fine-grained intervals. Detailed data on which this summary is based are available in spreadsheet format (K. Milliken, The University of Texas at Austin, personal communication, 2000).
