Abstract
The Tatum Basin (Fig. 1) is located in southeastern New Mexico on the Northwest Shelf of the prolific hydrocarbon-productive Permian Basin region. It is a local subsurface basin that originated in Early Pennsylvanian time, with maximum development during Middle Pennsylvanian. As a result of depositional infilling, the area ceased to be a basin by Early Permian (Wolfcamp) time and became a shallow open shelf that was the site of cyclic carbonate deposition. Phylloid algal mounds are an integral part of these cycles and are the subject of this paper.
