. 4 History The sedimentary layers underneath Houston ultimately extend down some 60,000 feet (18,000 m) with the oldest beds deposited during the Cretaceous. Between 30,000 feet (9,100 m) and 40,000 feet (12,000 m) below the surface is a layer of salt the primary source of salt domes which dot the metropolitan area. Since salt is more buoyant than other sediments it rises to the surface creating domes and anticlines and causing subsidence due to its removal from its original strata. These structures manage to capture oil and gas as it percolates through the subsurface; Pierce Junction is a notable example of a heavily drilled salt dome oil field in Houston, The first empresarial grant had been made under Spanish control to Moses Austin the grant was passed to his son Stephen F Austin whose settlers known as the Old Three Hundred settled along the Brazos River in 1822 the grant was later ratified by the Mexican government.
