The Austin Chalk is a carbonate limestone which has major outcropping near Austin, Texas. Around Austin, San Antonio, and San Marcos it finds its major expression in the so-called Balcones Escarpment, a jutting limestone promontory that divides the Texas hill country from the Black Gumbo Farmland to the east, and forms one of the longest, most noticeable geologic features in the state. The Chalk is known to run through the entire Gulf Coast Littoral - Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. A map shows the locations of the major uplifts, downwarps, fault zones, and tectonic belts in the Austin Chalk play.
