GUID (UUID V4):

The Sherman Basin is a small Paleozoic foreland basin that is located in northeast Texas. It includes both the thrust faulted and folded portion of the area as well as the normal faulted and unfaulted portion. It is bordered on the northeast by an arbitrary line that separates it from the Arkoma Basin– Ouachita Thrust Belt, on the northwest by an arbitrary line that approximates the Red River boundary between Oklahoma and Texas, on the southwest by the Muenster Arch, and on the southeast by the Mesozoic normal faults that define the Gulf of Mexico Basin, here termed the Mexia-Talco Fault Zone.
