Tides at Port Mansfield, Laguna Madre, Texas
Marine Geodesy, 1980Abstract The tides at Port Mansfield are so small (mean diurnal range of about 2 cm) that they are nearly lost in a noisy (meteorological) continuum. Nevertheless, a precise tidal analysis is necessary to provide the data for a determination of the elevation of mean high water, the boundary between private and state ownership in an oil‐producing area ...

Crab death assemblages from Laguna Madre and vicinity, Texas
PALAIOS, 1990Crabs are a major component of modern marine ecosystems, but are only rarely described in fossil assemblages. Studies of brachyuran taphonomy have examined either the fossil end-products of the taphonomic process or the very earliest stages of decay and decomposition. The next logical step is the analysis of modern crab death assemblages; i.e., studies

Quiet water oolites from Laguna Madre, Texas
Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1962Abstract A part of the oolite-forming area in Laguna Madre contrasts with the "high energy" environment suggested in the "classical theory" for oolite generation. Although the wave-swept shoreline is the principle site of formation, an important and distinctive type of oolite is forming offshore in quiet water.

Compressional and shear in situ measurements in the Lower Laguna Madre
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2018This presentation describes the apparatus, procedure, and results from a field experiment conducted in July 2017 in the seagrass beds of the Lower Laguna Madre. The Laguna Madre is a shallow hypersaline lagoon on the western coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The relatively flat bathymetry is covered by a thick meadow of Thalassia testudinum.

Fabric and Origin of Gypsum Sand Crystals, Laguna Madre, Texas
AAPG Bulletin, 1991ABSTRACT Gypsum sand crystals of Laguna Madre are crystals of selenite of lens-like, discoidal shape that poikilotopically enclose dominantly terrigenous sand. They occur over an 85-km length of the lagoon as inferred from their presence in spoil islands formed during the excavation of the intracoastal waterway.
