The geology of the Gulf of Mexico has been reviewed by numerous authors. Two syntheses stand out. Grover Murray's 1961Geology of the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Province of North America summarized classic mid-20th century stratigraphic and structural understanding of the basin.
Edgar Allan Poe is known for his awesomely gruesome short stories like The Black Cat and The Fall of the House of Usher, and for his poems like The Raven and Annabel Lee.
