The Palo Duro Basin is a large Paleozoic rift basin in the panhandle of northern Texas. It lies between the Amarillo-Wichita Uplift on the north and the Matador Arch–Red River Uplift on the south. It is the structural extension of the Hollis-Hardeman Basin to the east and the Tucumcari Basin to the west.
