摘要: Abstract Petrographic evidence indicates that an arid to semi-arid climate existed in central Texas, U.S.A., during accumulation of the Cambrian System. This interpretation is supported by presence ventifacts, quartz with frosted surfaces, fresh well-rounded feldspars, paucity clay material, and situ transported calcitized evaporites.
