The Jurassic Todilto Formation Of New Mexico, Henry O. Ash

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The Todilto formation of New Mexico is a widespread and distinctive Jurassic unit confined to the northern one-half of the State and adjacent parts of Arizona and Colorado. It consists of a lower Limestone member and an upper Gypsum member. The Gypsum member also contains some limestone. The two members are not coextensive in area. Both are present in the central part of the area in which the formation is found, but the Limestone member extends far beyond the limits of the Gypsum member.

Stratigraphy And Structure Of The French Mesa Area, Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, Francis L. Fitter

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The French Mesa Area includes over 120 square miles between the Nacimiento- San Pedro uplift and the Gallina Mountain uplift in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico. The French Mesa anticline is the most striking structural and topographic feature of the area.

Geology Of The Hidden Mountains Valencia County, New Mexico, Patrick J.F. Gratton

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The hidden mountains are located in Valencia County, New Mexico, immediately southwest of the point where New Mexico State Highway 6 and the Santa Fe Railroad cross the Rio Puerco. This location places the Hidden Mountains near the center of the west half of the Albuquerque-Belen basin of structural and geomorphic Rio Grande Depression.

Geology Of The Pedernal Hills Area Torrance County, New Mexico, John F. Fallis

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The area included in this report is in the north-central part of Torrance county, central New Mexico. The area is bounded on the north by U.S. Highway 66, on the east by U.S. Highway 285, on the south by U.S. Highway 60, and on the west by the approximate eastern edge of the Estancia basin. Clines Corners on U.S. Highway 66 forms the Northeast corner of the area. The mapped area contain approximately 230 square miles.

The Environment Of The Jurassic Todilto Basin, Northwestern New Mexico, Douglas W. Kirkland

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The Todilto evaporites of Upper Jurassic age were precipitated in a basin which covered more then 34,000 square miles of northwestern New Mexico and parts of Colorado and Arizona. The Todilto formation consists of a lower Limestone and an upper Gypsum member, and has a maximum thickness of a little more than 100 feet. Both members are varved.

Geology Of The Northern End Of San Pedro Mountain, Rio Arriba And Sandoval Counties, New Mexico, Osler C. Hutson

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The structural complexity of this area provided the initial stimulus for this study. With encouragement from Dr. Vincent C. Kelley, the study of this area was undertaken as a master's thesis project. The field work necessary to the project was begun in February, 1957 and completed during the summer of 1957. Mapping was accomplished with the aid of aerial photographs scaled two inches equals one mile. Data were transferred from photographs to a U.S. Soil Conservation Service planimetric map. Strati graphic sections were measured with Brunton compass and a 50-foot steel tape.

Microstratigraphic And Sedimentational Studies Of An Early Man Site Near Lucy, New Mexico, Jerry Harbour

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The purpose of the study has been to interpret the sedimentary record of the Lucy site deposits in order to establish a climatic sequence into which various cultural zones, especially the Sandia, may be placed, and to date this climatic sequence as accurately as possible. A second purpose has been to establish the reliability of the Pleistocene Lake Estancia shore levels as a regional floating chronology of climatic events, and to correlate the Lucy site sediments with this regional chronology. By means of the Lucy site artifacts, this chronology is partly fixed in time, so as a result of the …
