Geology Publications:  Bulletins

A study of the exposed geologic units of the Wilcox, Claiborne and Jackson groups. Highway profiles are used as a base for illustrating the lithologic details.

The report deals with the ground-water and surface-water availability and quality in the area east of and including the counties of Marshall, Tate, Panola, Yalobusha, Webster, Choctaw, Winston, Leake, and the east half of Tallahatchie.

A study of the geomorphology, stratigraphy, and structure along Mississippi Highway 16 including geological highway profiles.

A report on the physiography, structure, stratigraphy, and economic geology. Subjects under economic geology include oil and gas, groundwater, clays, limestone, and marls, bentonite, and glauconite.

A study of the surface stratigraphy, structure, historical geology, and mineral resources. Minerals discussed include bentonite, clay, chalk, gravel, oil and gas. A part, prepared by the U. S. Geological Survey, deals with geologic formations and their water-bearing characteristics, and quality of water.

Revised, Bulletin 112.

A study that deals with the relation of Cretaceous structure to Paleozoic structure, facies changes in the Cretaceous section, useful mapping horizons in the Cretaceous, reconstruction of the pre-Cretaceous or early Cretaceous geomorphology, and determination of the favorability for oil and natural gas in the Cretaceous shelf sediments The Bulletin also contains a “Discussion on the Foraminifera”, by William S. Parks, and a “Discussion on the Ostracoda”, by Robert H. Shaver.

A report primarily on the surface stratigraphy, but with chapters on subsurface stratigraphy, structure, geologic history and depositional conditions, and mineral resources.

FRESH WATER STRATA OF MISSISSIPPI AS REVEALED BY ELECTRICAL LOG STUDIES

A report that embraces the geological and chemical study of the uppermost sediments of the Sound floor.
