The Permian occurs subsurface throughout much of western Kansas, a small part of western Oklahoma, throughout practically all of the Panhandle and trans-Pecos Texas, and most of that part of New Mexico lying east of the Pecos River. For more than fifty years geologists have studied the Permian formations exposed on the surface in these States. Of the scores of workers only a very . . . |
