OSTI ID:6127574
Distributions, geometries, and densities of faults and associated fractures in the Cretaceous Austin Chalk were studied in outcrop within the northernmost extension of the Balcones fault zone in Ellis and northern Hill Counties, Texas. Description of the fracture systems may be applicable to hydrocarbon exploration and production from this unit and to locating the proposed Dallas-Fort Worth Area Superconducting Super Collider site in Ellis County.
