Subsurface and Outcrop Examination of the Capitan Shelf Margin, Northern Delaware Basin
Paul M. Harris, George A. Grover
Outcrops of the Capitan reef and associated shelf and basinal strata (Late Permian, Guadalupian age) in the Guadalupe Mountains of West Texas and southeast New Mexico have long served industry, academia, and numerous geological societies as a superb training locale for better understanding carbonate, siliciclastic, and evaporite facies, and their diagenesis.

Title information
Outcrops of the Capitan reef and associated shelf and basinal strata (Late Permian, Guadalupian age) in the Guadalupe Mountains of West Texas and southeast New Mexico have long served industry, academia, and numerous geological societies as a superb training locale for better understanding carbonate, siliciclastic, and evaporite facies, and their diagenesis. The geologic model developed from the Guadalupe Mountains has proven to be an important analog for many other areas. Continued interest in the Capitan story from a wide-ranging audience, the availability of a unique core from a stratigraphic well at the northern end of the Delaware Basin and a large number of ongoing outcrop studies was the catalyst for a core workshop on the Capitan. The workshop should broaden one's view of the Capitan more so than ever before, by virtue of the combined subsurface and outcrop perspective of stratigraphic relationships, depositional facies, geologic evolution and diagenesis.
