Facts and Hypotheses Regarding the Miocene–Holocene Jemez Lineament, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado Fraser Goff and Shari A
New Mexico Geological Society Downloaded from: https://nmgs.nmt.edu/publications/guidebooks/72 Facts and hypotheses regarding the Miocene–Holocene Jemez Lineament, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado Fraser Goff and Shari A. Kelley, 2021, pp. 101-116 in: Geology of the Mount Taylor area, Frey, Bonnie A.; Kelley, Shari A.; Zeigler, Kate E.; McLemore, Virginia T.; Goff, Fraser; Ulmer-Scholle, Dana S., New Mexico Geological Society 72nd Annual Fall Field Conference Guidebook, 310 p. This is one of many related papers that were included in the 2021 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, Color Plates, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.

Scale Crust Formation and Lithosphere Modification Beneath
JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 96, NO. B8, PAGES 13,485-13,507,JULY 30, 1991 Large-ScaleCrust Formation and LithosphereModification Beneath Middle to Late Cenozoic Calderas and Volcanic Fields, Western North America CLARK M. JOHNSON Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Wisconsin, Madison Over 500,000 km3 of intermediate-to silicic-compositionash flow tuffs and lavaswere eruptedfrom large-volume volcanic fields in western North America during the middle to late Cenozoic. Of the commonlyused isotope systems, Nd isotopedata provide the best constrainton the proportionsof crust and mantle componentsin the tuffs; all tuffs that have been studied contain a major, often dominant, mantle component. The proportion of mantle to crustal componentsis best constrainedfor ash flow tuffs that were erupted on Precambrian crust. There is no simple correlation between inception of extensionalfaulting with development of calderas, although all calderas formed in or adjacent to regionsthat ultimately underwentcrustal extension to somedegree. Similarly, there are no first-order correlationsbetween the proportionof mantle-derivedcomponent in the silicic magmasand the tectonic setting. The common thread to all caldera complexes is that they are generatedby large fluxes of mantle-derivedbasaltic magmas. Detailed isotopicand petrologic studies of severalcaldera complexes indicate that the silicic magmas were fundamentally derived by fractional crystallization of mantle- derived magmas, accompanied by assimilation of continental crust.

Earlier that day, Capt. Gen. Francisco Vázquez de Coronado had sent the force to reconnoiter the area. After they reported their fi ndings to Vázquez de Coronado, the captain general sent López de Cárdenas and his men back to Dangerous Pass to secure the passage while the advance party remained camped at Río Bermejo. -
Rare Earth Elements (REE) Deposits Associated with Great Plain Margin Deposits (Alkaline-Related), Southwestern United States and Eastern Mexico
resources Article Rare Earth Elements (REE) Deposits Associated with Great Plain Margin Deposits (Alkaline-Related), Southwestern United States and Eastern Mexico Virginia T. McLemore ID New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM 87801, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-575-835-5521 Received: 13 November 2017; Accepted: 18 January 2018; Published: 23 January 2018 Abstract: W.G. Lindgren in 1933 first noted that a belt of alkaline-igneous rocks extends along the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains and Basin and Range provinces from Alaska and British Columbia southward into New Mexico, Trans-Pecos Texas, and eastern Mexico and that these rocks contain relatively large quantities of important commodities such as, gold, fluorine, zirconium, rare earth elements (REE), tellurium, gallium, and other critical elements. In New Mexico, these deposits were called Great Plain Margin (GPM) deposits, because this north-south belt of alkaline-igneous rocks roughly coincides with crustal thickening along the margin between the Great Plains physiographic province with the Basin and Range (including the Rio Grande rift) and Rocky Mountains physiographic provinces, which extends into Trans-Pecos Texas and eastern Mexico. Since 1996, only minor exploration and development of these deposits in New Mexico, Texas, and eastern Mexico has occurred because of low commodity prices, permitting issues, and environmental concerns. However, as the current demand for gold and critical elements, such as REE and tellurium has increased, new exploration programs have encouraged additional research on the geology of these deposits. The lack of abundant quartz in these systems results in these deposits being less resistant to erosion, being covered, and not as well exposed as other types of quartz-rich deposits, therefore additional undiscovered alkaline-related gold and REE deposits are likely in these areas. -
