FIGURE 2. Generalized columnar sections of the Dockum Group in Texas in Randall, Garza and Howard counties, including the stratigraphic positions of the cited quarries in bold (modified after Ash, 1976; Lucas and Anderson, 1993b; Martz, 2008; Martz et al., 2013; and Bill Mueller, personal commun., 2014, 2015). Unit numbers and lithostratigraphic correlatives for the Garza County section are taken from Martz et al. (2013).
