Geol­ogy Resources: The Uni­ver­sity of Texas of the Per­mian Basin

“The Uni­ver­sity of Texas of the Per­mian Basin (UTPB) has a well-regarded geol­ogy pro­gram, and they have cre­ated this engag­ing site to pro­file the geol­ogy of their unique cor­ner of West Texas. Their geol­ogy resources page con­tains the fol­low­ing sec­tions: “Geo­log­i­cal Overview”, “West Texas Geol­ogy”, “Inter­est­ing Links”, “Road Logs”, “Cores & Sam­ples & Topo Maps”, and “Pre­sen­ta­tions”. The “Geo­log­i­cal Overview” area offers a brief run­down of the geo­log­i­cal milieu sur­round­ing the UTPB cam­pus. Mov­ing on, the site really comes alive in “West Texas Geol­ogy”, with insight­ful descrip­tions of the Basin and Range Province, faults, folds, igneous intru­sions, and a relief map of Texas. Those with a pen­chant for travel will be delighted with the “Road Logs” area. Essen­tially, they are geo­log­i­cal tour guides for per­sons dri­ving from Mid­land to Van Horn, the Guadalupe Moun­tains, and other loca­tions. Over­all, it’s a well-done site, and one that vis­i­tors will want to share with friends. ”
