Sequence stratigraphy of Wolfcampian carbonate platform outcrops in the Wylie Mountains near Van Horn, TX through a combination of extensive field work and photogrammetry to develop a 3D outcrop model. Identified karstified sequence boundaries with implications for shelf bypass of siliciclastic and reworked carbonate sediment to the deepwater Delaware Basin Wolfcamp A-B equivalent.
