PRECAMBRIAN ROCKS

The Precambrian rocks of Texas are composed of igneous and metamorphic

rocks and some sedimentary rocks. Most of the Precambrian outcrops are

in the Llano uplift and El Paso and Van Horn regions.

Alterations produced by vast amounts of time, heat, and pressure have

obliterated any trace of fossils that may have been present in these

rocks. With the exception of some questionable primitive plants

collected in the Van Horn region, no Precambrian fossils have been

reported from Texas.
