Eocene Marine Transgression in Texas Gulf Coast Redefines Geological History.
The Reklaw Formation in Texas marks the beginning of the Claibornian sea during the Eocene period. By studying this formation, researchers focused on marine boundaries and used a sequence stratigraphic approach to map the area in 3D. They found evidence of a marine transgression that included a transgressive systems tract and a shelf margin wedge made up of specific rock layers. This study provides valuable insights into the geological history of the Texas Gulf Coast during the Eocene era.
