Edited to add that if you scroll down about three fourths of the way on the link right above, and click on the picture icons you will see the long area of 0% porosity rock in western Andrews County. Nuclear waste is placed into melted hard glass (and cooled) before it is deposited. A lot of this rock is very hard chert. There are numerous joints, in broken columns, of chert under the Llano Estacado-Caprock. There seems to be a big piece of it that is not broken running along the Texas-New Mexico border there.
