The Catahoula Formation; A volcaniclastic unit in east Texas
The Oligocene/Miocene Catahoula Formation of the upper Texas coastal plain is a fluvial and lacustrine volcaniclastic unit composed of “normal” quartz-rich fluvial material mixed with distal rhyolitic air-fall ash from coeval volcanic source areas in Trans-Pecos Texas and northern Mexico.
The Catahoula Formation of the Texas Coastal Plain consists of deposits of two major ancient fluvial systems. The Gueydan fluvial system is centered in the Rio Grande Embayment (fig. 1) and hosts the known uranium reserves of the Catahoula. The Chita-Corrigan fluvial system consists of the deposits of several major and minor
Catahoula Formation - Wikipedia
The Catahoula Formation is a geologic formation in Texas and Louisiana. It preserves fossils dating back to the Paleogene period.
Catahoula Formation of the Texas Coastal Plain: Origin, …
The Catahoula Formation is composed of ancient fluvial sediments that controlled a wide range of water/sediment interactions responsible for uranium mobilization, transportation, and concentration. Uranium was released from volcanic glass deposited within the Catahoula through early pedogenic and diagenetic processes.

The Catahoula Formation of the Texas Gulf Coastal Plain consists of two depositional systems--the Gueydan bedload fluvial system of the Rio Grande embayment and the Chita-Corrigan mixed load fluvial system of the Houston embayment.

From objectives: This report describes the physical geology of the Catahoula Formation-its genetic stratigraphy, structure, mineralogical composition, and post-depositional history and discusses the known distribution of uranium within the context of these geological parameters.

Catahoula formation of the Texas coastal plain: origin, geochemical evolution, and characteristics of uranium deposits. Uranium was released from volcanic glass deposited within the Catahoula through early pedogenic and diagenetic processes. Pedogenesis was the most efficient process for mobilizing uranium.

This report is the product of a study of the distribution, genesis, and potential of uranium resources in the Catahoula Formation, and emphasizes both the geochemical and hydrologic habitats of known uranium deposits and the geochemical evolution of uranium within a coastal plain aquifer system.
