Comments on Geologic Parameters

5 Percent Shale:

Galloway and others (1986) also compiled excellent maps showing percent sand of both the Lagarto and Oakville Formations. These maps show (1) the thickening of sands around the depocenter, especially during Lagarto deposition; (2) elongation of (beach and barrier-island) sand bodies generally parallel to the present coast; and (3) the interval containing abundant sand.
