The Delaware River (originally called the Grasshopper River) [4] is a 94-mile-long (151 km) [2] river located in the northeastern part of the state of Kansas. The Delaware River basin drains 1,117 square miles (2,890 km 2 ) from the outflow of the Perry Lake reservoir.
Sponge and algae skeletons accumulated near the Goat Seep Reef to become the Getaway Bank. Quartz sand laid down further in the basin became the Cherry Canyon Formation. [1]: 195§4 Subsidence of the basin stopped for good by the later part of the Guadalupian. Capitan Reef was the largest in the basin, and it rapidly grew 350 miles (560 km ...
The Permian Basin comprises several component basins, including the Midland Basin, which is the largest; Delaware Basin, the second largest; and Marfa Basin, the smallest. The Permian Basin covers more than 86,000 square miles (220,000 km 2), [1] and extends across an area approximately 250 miles (400 km) wide and 300 miles (480 km) long. [2]

Morrow sand was largely deposited in the NW Shelf of the basin An example of the flatness found in the region. Image from near the Carlsbad Caverns in Carlsbad, New Mexico. It can be found at depths of 8,200 to 12,500 feet.
The formation consists of up to 300 feet (91 m) [3] of gypsum or anhydrite with a few thin beds of limestone. [3] [2] The formation is found within the Delaware Basin and was deposited after the formation of the Capitan Formation, the fossil reef defining the margins of the Delaware Basin. [4]
The Gyp Hills near Medicine Lodge were named for the gypsum of the Blaine Formation. The soluble gypsum, anhydrite and dolomite produce many caves in the area. [14] [15] The Big Basin of Clark County is a 1.2-mile (2 km) diameter, 115-foot (35 m) deep, dissolution collapse feature that formed by the dissolution of salt beds in the subsurface.
