Abstract
The focus of this study was to characterize the sedimentology and geo-body architecture of the coarse-grained Decie Ranch and Sullivan Peak Members of the Skinner Ranch Formation in order to better understand the origin and deposition of these interpreted lowstand deposits. The Lower Permian (Kungurian) Skinner Ranch Formation is exposed within the Lenox Hills (Glass Mountains) in Brewster County, Texas. In these outcrops, an alternation of conglomerate-rich (lowstand), and organic-rich mudstone-rich units (transgressive and highstand) are present. These exposures provide a unique opportunity to view strata interpreted to be coeval to the economically important “Wolfcamp A” reservoir zone in the adjacent subsurface region of the adjacent Delaware Basin.
