520 3 |a The Oligocene/Miocene Catahoula Formation of the Texas coastal plain is a fluvial and lacustrine volcaniclastic unit composed of "normal" fluvial material mixed with distal rhyolitic air-fall ash and, in the lower coastal plain, also stream-transported erosion detritus from the volcanic source area in Trans-Pecos Texas and adjacent northern Mexico, the nearest source of appropriate age and chemical affinity. The Catahoula Formation consists of poorly sorted siltstones, sandstones, and mudstones. Silt-size grains include abundant, slightly altered volcanic glass, especially in the upper coastal plain. Sand-size grains are mostly quartz, some of which are very coarse. The clay-size grains include alteration products of the glass. Catahoula deposition is characterized by sporadic influx of air-fall ash into the low-gradient fluvial systems and coastal lakes. This influx must occasionally have overloaded the systems because mud flows into or on the floodplains are a prominent part of the Catahoula section. ...
