As North America rifted away from Europe/South America during the break up of Pangaea, fault zones formed which still impact Texas. The Balcones fault zone was created along the Texas Craton and slightly further south-east the Luling - Mexia fault zones were created. Today these are zones of weakness that allow warm fluids to rise quickly along them and create elevated temperatures in the deeper fresh water aquifers, such as the Trinity, Hosston, and Edwards (Woodruff et al., 1982). The newly formed East Texas and Gulf Coast basins were buried by thick deposits of Middle Jurassic marine salt and sediments. Igneous oceanic crust formed in the Gulf Coast Basin during the Late Jurassic. The boundary between oceanic and continental crust lies beneath the present-day Texas continental shelf or slope, but its exact location is unknown. Jurassic and Cretaceous deposits formed broad carbonate shelves that were periodically buried in places by deltaic sandstones and shales at the edge of the widening Gulf of Mexico. Mobilization of the salt from evaporates formed salt domes in East Texas and the Gulf Coast. The deposition along the Texas Gulf Coast continental shelf continued to build new land mass towards the Gulf of Mexico, as it continues to do today. Depositional areas shifted overtime. Initially the sediment flow was dominated from the western side of the Gulf Coast (now South Texas and Central Gulf Coast) during the Eocene and Oligocene (~55 - 23 MA). It gradually shifted eastward, where it is today with sediment primarily from the North and East (Mississippi Delta) (Salvador, 1991) (Figure 2). Sea level has fluctuated continuously throughout the geologic past. During the most recent glacial advances, the sea levels were 300 to 450 feet lower than today (an interglacial period), because so much sea water was contained in the ice sheets. The climate was both more humid and cooler than that of today, and the largest Texas rivers carried more water and sediment to the Gulf of Mexico. These deposits underlie the initial fifty miles or more of the Gulf Coastal plain inland from the current shoreline. Approximately 3,000 years ago sea level reached its modern position, and the coastal features that are present today, such as the deltas, lagoons, beaches, and barrier islands, have formed since that time (Sellards, et al., 1933). 10
