Silurian rocks are missing, and the Lower Devonian-Mississippian Caballos Novaculite rests unconformably on the Upper Ordovician Maravillas Formation. More than 1.4 km of flysch, from a source to the southeast, forms the Mississippian-Pennsylvanian Tesnus Formation. No Paleozoic rock younger than Early Pennsylvanian (Morrowan Series) have been found. The measured thickness of Paleozoic rocks in the Solitario is approximately 2.6 km and represents a time span of 240 m.y. with a single break of ~30 m.y. during Silurian, one of the longest depositional records known. The Paleozoic rocks found in the Solitario are allochthonous and were intensely deformed during the Ouachita Orogeny. The orogeny affected the Solitario area from Middle Pennsylvanian (Desmoinesian) until Early Permian (middle Wolfcampian). Transport of the allochton during the Ouachita Orogeny was at least tens of kilometers from the southeast.

Big Bend Ranch State Park, the largest in the Texas State Parks System, lies in the rugged Big Bend country of West Texas. The primary attraction of Big Bend country is its scenery--the mountains, canyons, plateaus, rivers, and waterfalls--very aspect of which has formed through geologic processes. These processes, including mountain building, volcanism, faulting, and erosion, have shaped the land into the rich vistas we enjoy today. This guidebook to the geology of Big Bend Ranch State Park, produced by the Bureau of Economic Geology, covers the basic geologic concepts and processes involved in the evolution of this unique landscape and explores the formation of prominent geologic features (such as the Bofecillos Mountains, Closed Canyon, and the Solitario) within the park. Also included is a glossary and an accompanying geologic maps
