(2) The Panhandle (Lower or Middle Miocene) beds were comparatively evenly distributed over the vast area now occupied by the Staked Plains and in addition extended westward to the Rocky Mountains in New Mexico, and spread out to the eastward over a much greater territiory than they now occupy. These deposits seem to be, at least partially, lacustrine in origin. (3) All the formations of the Staked Plains that are of more recent date than the Lower or Middle Miocene are represented by comparatively small areas, and are fluviatile, or aeolian and fluvaiatile, in origin. These later depositions are represented by the Clarendon beds in the vicinity of Clarendon, the Blanco Beds at Mount Blanco, and the Rock Creek beds at Tule Cañon and Rock Creek"--P. 635.6470499 bytesapplication/pdfen-USQH1 .A4 vol.19, art.26, 1903Geology, Stratigraphic -- Neogene -- Texas.Geology, Stratigraphic -- Pleistocene -- Texas.Paleontology -- Neogene -- Texas.Paleontology -- Pleistocene -- Texas.Geology -- Texas.Geology -- Llano Estacado.Paleontology -- Llano Estacado.Paleontology -- Texas.text
