caption_attribution_description: English: Quartzose gravels on surface in Wichita Falls, Texas.
context_page_description: The exposed strata at the surface in and around Wichita Falls are the products of one ancient period of deposition with a modest amount of recent and modern alteration. In all cases, the strata are products of terrigenous environments dominated by fluvial depositional and erosional systems.
context_section_description: Up to 30 feet of fluvial deposits of unconsolidated gravel, sand, and silt mapped as terrace deposition by the 1987 Texas Atlas of Geology.  Gravels are granule-to-cobble size, with clasts of angular to well-rounded quartzite, quartz, and chert from distal sources and lesser fragments of local strata.  The sands are orange-brown to tan, fine- to coarse-grained with preserved soils.
