The Buttermilk Creek complex is the remains of a paleolithic settlement along the shores of Buttermilk Creek in present-day Salado, Texas. The assemblage dates to ~13.2 to 15.5 thousand years old. [1] If confirmed, the site represents evidence of human settlement in the Americas that pre-dates the Clovis culture. [2]
The terrestrial flora of Late Cretaceous Texas left behind plant fossils in northern Texas. [6] During the early Cenozoic, Texas was the site of significant volcanic eruptions. [4] Ostracods remained common in the Tertiary seas of Texas. Segments left by ophiuroids are also common in rocks deposited in these marine environments.

Henry Gault, from whom the site takes its name, put together a 250-acre farm in the Buttermilk Creek Valley, starting in 1904. At some point in the early 20th century he found extra income as an informant for early archaeological explorations in Central Texas working with the first professional archaeologist in Texas, J.E. Pearce, as well as avocational archaeologists (Alex Dienst, Kenneth ...

NEW YORK (AP) — Researchers have uncovered a simple structure from the Stone Age that may be the oldest evidence yet of early humans building with wood. The construction is basic: a pair of ...
Shaded relief map of the Llano Estacado. Texas contains a wide variety of geologic settings. The state's stratigraphy has been largely influenced by marine transgressive-regressive cycles during the Phanerozoic, with a lesser but still significant contribution from late Cenozoic tectonic activity, as well as the remnants of a Paleozoic mountain range.
The Red Beds of Texas and Oklahoma are a group of Early Permian-age geologic strata in the southwestern United States cropping out in north-central Texas and south-central Oklahoma. They comprise several stratigraphic groups , including the Clear Fork Group , the Wichita Group , and the Pease River Group . [ 1 ]
