These sedimentary petrologic provinces are here termed the Eastern Gulf Province, and the Rio Grande Province. The mineral assemblage characteristic of each province is briefly described.sedimentsgeologypetrologysediment distributionmineralogysediment compositionmineral assemblagesmineral compositionsediment analysisArticle
