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. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. 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, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.

  • The Collection of Oak Trees of Mexico and Central America in Iturraran Botanical Gardens
    The Collection of Oak Trees of Mexico and Central America in Iturraran Botanical Gardens Francisco Garin Garcia Iturraran Botanical Gardens, northern Spain [email protected] Overview Iturraran Botanical Gardens occupy 25 hectares of the northern area of Spain’s Pagoeta Natural Park. They extend along the slopes of the Iturraran hill upon the former hay meadows belonging to the farmhouse of the same name, currently the Reception Centre of the Park. The minimum altitude is 130 m above sea level, and the maximum is 220 m. Within its bounds there are indigenous wooded copses of Quercus robur and other non-coniferous species. Annual precipitation ranges from 140 to 160 cm/year. The maximum temperatures can reach 30º C on some days of summer and even during periods of southern winds on isolated days from October to March; the winter minimums fall to -3º C or -5 º C, occasionally registering as low as -7º C. Frosty days are few and they do not last long. It may snow several days each year. Soils are fairly shallow, with a calcareous substratum, but acidified by the abundant rainfall. In general, the pH is neutral due to their action. Collections The first plantations date back to late 1987. There are currently approximately 5,000 different taxa, the majority being trees and shrubs. There are around 3,000 species, including around 300 species from the genus Quercus; 100 of them are from Mexico and Central America.

  • A Case Study on the Potential of the Multipurpose Prosopis Tree
    23 Underutilised crops for famine and poverty alleviation: a case study on the potential of the multipurpose Prosopis tree N.M. Pasiecznik, S.K. Choge, A.B. Rosenfeld and P.J.C. Harris In its native Latin America, the Prosopis tree (also known as Mesquite) has multiple uses as a fuel wood, timber, charcoal, animal fodder and human food. It is also highly drought-resistant, growing under conditions where little else will survive. For this reason, it has been introduced as a pioneer species into the drylands of Africa and Asia over the last two centuries as a means of reclaiming desert lands. However, the knowledge of its uses was not transferred with it, and left in an unmanaged state it has developed into a highly invasive species, where it encroaches on farm land as an impenetrable, thorny thicket. Attempts to eradicate it are proving costly and largely unsuccessful. In 2006, the problem of Prosopis was hitting the headlines on an almost weekly basis in Kenya. Yet amidst calls for its eradication, a pioneering team from the Kenya Forestry Research Institute (KEFRI) and HDRA’s International Programme set out to demonstrate its positive uses. Through a pilot training and capacity building programme in two villages in Baringo District, people living with this tree learned for the first time how to manage and use it to their benefit, both for food security and income generation. Results showed that the pods, milled to flour, would provide a crucial, nutritious food supplement in these famine-prone desert margins. The pods were also used or sold as animal fodder, with the first international order coming from South Africa by the end of the year.

Because of the preoccupation of the people of Texas with petroleum production, many have overlooked the fact that them have been several important metal mines tn this province and that talc deposi ts are s ti1 l being worked here. Undoubtedly othep economic mineral deposits exist in the region awai ting discovery by intensive geological prospecting. The af'fi cers of the El Paso Geological Society and the field trip leadek hope that this trip will heighten inteest in the finding and developing of mineral deposi ts in Trans Pecos Texas. We welcome all our visitcs~sand know that they will wish to jodn us in thanking all those who made thds trip possible. We wish especially to acknowledge the kindness of the Pioneer Talc Company in showing us through the mill at Allamore and allowlng the group to visdt the Texsla- Talc mine.

    Longfellow Ranch Geological Report West Texas Overthrust Pecos County, Texas Prepared by: Chris Barden, Registered Petroleum Engineer Wes Franklin, Certified Petroleum Geologist For: Longfellow Exploration Partners Limited (Updated Edition) Table of Contents Introduction 3 General Geology 4 History of Oil and Gas Exploration in the Marathon Overthrust 10 (including recent discoveries) Reservoirs and Gas Production Types 20 Reserves, Economics and Financial Models (Intentionally Omitted) 25 Outlook of the Longfellow-West Ranch Area 27 North Longfellow 27 Future Potential: Pinon to Thistle 28 Recommendations & Conclusions 30 Appendix (Intentionally Omitted) Note: This report was originally prepared in January of 2003. It has been partially updated to reflect more current events since its original production. Introduction The Marathon Overthrust (aka West Texas Overthrust/WTO) is a segment in far west Texas that runs from Canada, through the Appalachian and Ouachita Mountains of the United States, to Mexico. The complete thrust belt has been the site for oil and gas exploration for decades, for it has tectonically over-ridden a number of producing sedimentary basins. But until the last two decades, the complex geology of the thrusts obscured the hydrocarbon potential, and hampered development efforts. Recent discoveries in the Black Warrior Basin, the Arkoma Basin, the Ouachita Overthrust the Fort Worth Basin and the Marathon Overthrust have changed the way the industry views this trend. The WTO trend is characterized by stacked pay zones in multiple reservoirs and horizons. This trend, sourced by organically rich shale beds of Barnett and Woodford age with Total Organic Content/TOC ranging up to 13% is now considered one of the emerging pre-eminent resource plays in North America with larger conventional targets lying above and below it.
