... Abstract Within the southern circum-Laurentian carbonate bank, a 1000-km-long × 550-km-wide (621 × 342 mi) basin, the Ouachita-Cuyania Basin, developed during the Cambrian-Middle Ordovi-cian. The western Ouachita-Cuyania Basin, including the Marathon-Solitario subbasin (west Texas), was flanked...

... the Solitario uplift form hogbacks and cuestas. The Solitario uplift, initiated in late Cretaceous time, continued during the deposition of the Tertiary volcanic series which thins and wedges against the dome. Uplift probably was not at a uniform rate; a period of marked uplift accompanied or followed shortly...
