Georeferencing Remarks From this thesis almost certainly (Causey, B.D. 1969. The fish fauna of seven and one-half fathom reef, northwestern Gulf of Mexico. M.Sc. Thesis, Texas A and I Univ., Kingsville, Texas. 110 pp.). Coordinates found here (https://www.gulfbase.org/geological-feature/seven-and-one-half-fathom-bank), but when projected in Google Maps they do not allign with a nearby elevated area. Point shifted to this elevated area which is assumed to be the reef.
