  • Magmatic Evolution and Petrochemistry of Xenoliths Contained Within an Andesitic Dike of Western Spanish Peak, Colorado
    Magmatic Evolution and Petrochemistry of Xenoliths contained within an Andesitic Dike of Western Spanish Peak, Colorado Thesis for Departmental Honors at the University of Colorado Ian Albert Rafael Contreras Department of Geological Sciences Thesis Advisor: Charles Stern | Geological Sciences Defense Committee: Charles Stern | Geological Sciences Rebecca Flowers | Geological Sciences Ilia Mishev | Mathematics April the 8th 2014 Magmatic Evolution and Petrochemistry of Xenoliths contained within an Andesitic Dike of Western Spanish Peak, Colorado Ian Albert Rafael Contreras Department of Geological Sciences University of Colorado Boulder Abstract The Spanish Peaks Wilderness of south-central Colorado is a diverse igneous complex which includes a variety of mid-Tertiary intrusions, including many small stocks and dikes, into Cretaceous and early Tertiary sediments. The focus of this thesis is to determine whether gabbroic xenoliths found within an andesitic dike on Western Spanish Peak were accidental or cognate, and their implications for the magma evolution of the area. A total of twelve samples were collected from a single radial dike, eleven of which were sliced into thin sections for petrological analyses. From the cut thin sections, six were chosen for electron microprobe analysis to determine mineral chemistry, and billets of ten samples were subject to ICP-MS analysis to determine bulk rock, trace element chemistry. Xenoliths were dominated by amphiboles, plagioclase feldspars, clinopyroxenes and opaques (Fe-Ti oxides) distributed in mostly porphyritic to equigranular textures. Pargasitic and kaersutitic amphiboles are present in both the xenoliths and the host dike. Additionally, plagioclase feldspars range from albite to labradorite, and clinopyroxenes range from augite to diopside. All xenoliths were found to be enriched in elements Ti, Sr, Cr and Mn compared to the host dike and other Spanish Peak radial dikes.

I I.1 I I SYNOPSIS NOT FOR FU~LIC l{ELEASJ Raton Mesa near Trinidad, Colorado, about 200 miles south of Denver, I is the highest, most scenic, impressive and accessible of a scattered group of lava-capped mesas straddling the eastern half of the Colorado- I New Mexico boundary. It and its highest part, Fishers Peak, are well I known landmarks dating back to the days of the Santa Fe Trail which~ traverses Raton Pass on its southwest flank, today crossed by an interstate high- I way. Three distinct, easily recognized vegetative zones, mostly forest, lay on its slopes; the Mesa top is a high mountain grassland. I Ancient lava flows covered portions of this region, the Raton I section of the Great Plains physiographic province, millions of years ago when the surface was much higher. These flows protected the mesas from subsequent erosion which has carried away the surrounding territory, • leaving Fishers Peak today towering 4,000 feet above the City of Trinidad. I Lavas at Capulin Mountain, a National Monument located nearby in New I Mexico, though at a lower elevation, are thought to be much more recent. Raton Pass was a strategic point on the Mountain Branch of the I Santa Fe Trail during the Mexican and Civil Wars, and to travelers past and present a clima~~ gateway to the southwest.

  • Spanish Peaks Airfield
    Colorado Aviation System Plan 2020 and Economic Impact Study SPANISH PEAKS AIRFIELD Spanish Peaks Airfield (4V1) is a general aviation airport in southern Colorado, located five miles north of Walsenburg. The airport is owned and operated by Huerfano County. 4V1 has a 4,506-foot-long asphalt all-weather runway (9/27) and a 2,275-foot-long turf runway (3/21). 4V1 provides access to the Spanish Peaks and supports a variety of activities including recreational flying, business/corporate flying, and environmental patrol. Additionally, the airport receives significant usage by flight training aircraft from Pueblo and the U.S. Air Force Academy. The airport is a significant asset for the county and directly contributes to the local economy. 4V1 Airport Classification The 2020 Colorado Aviation System Plan (CASP) has identified six functional classifications for Colorado’s 65 publicly-owned, public-use airports and one privately-owned, public-use airport. The six classifications were newly developed for the 2020 CASP and replace the roles previously developed in the 2011 study. These classifications follow the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) role categories as defined by the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) and the ASSET study. However, the CASP expands upon these roles to create more specific classifications for airports that are not included in the NPIAS. Airports that are included in the NPIAS are eligible for federal funding. As of the 2019 NPIAS publication, 48 publicly-owned airports and one privately-owned airport in the Colorado airport 4 system are included in the NPIAS, while 17 publicly-owned airports are not.

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.

  • Mineralogy and Genesis of Miarolitic Cavities in Altered Andesitic Dikes on West Spanish Peak, Colorado, USA
    Mineralogy and Genesis of Miarolitic Cavities in Altered Andesitic Dikes on West Spanish Peak, Colorado, USA Miarolitic Cavity Host Dike Thesis for Departmental Honors at the University of Colorado Boulder Travis A. Johnson Department of Geological Sciences Defense Date: April 7th, 2014 Defense Committee: Thesis Advisor: Charles Stern – Department of Geological Sciences Committee Member: Rebecca Flowers – Department of Geological Sciences Committee Member: Markus Raschke – Department of Physics i Mineralogy and Genesis of Miarolitic Cavities in Altered Andesitic Dikes on West Spanish Peak, Colorado, USA Travis A. Johnson Department of Geological Sciences ABSTRACT The focus of this thesis is the mineralogy, chemistry, and the understanding of the origin of small (1-5 cm diameter) miarolitic cavities observed in two altered andesitic dikes on West Spanish Peak, Colorado. Twenty rock samples were collected for analysis, and from them 42 thin sections were made for petrographic investigations. Eight of these thin sections were polished and analyzed with the electron microprobe for chemical compositions of the minerals, as well as identification of opaques. Five samples of cavities and one sample from each host dike were analyzed for trace element abundance using ICP-MS. The miarolitic cavities taken from West Spanish Peak contain quartz, epidote, chlorite, calcite, muscovite, barite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, hematite, and small traces of a cobalt sulfide. There are some chemical variations within and between epidotes and chlorites, involving inverse correlations of Fe with Al and/or Mg, respectively, as manifested visually by changes in color of these minerals. The data suggests that Si, Al, Ca, Fe, Mg, S, Cu, Ba, and Co were mobilized within the H2O, CO2, and SO2 bearing fluids that first generated (by exsolution from the magma and expansion) and then mineralized the cavities of both dikes.

  • THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published Bi-Monthly by the State Historical Society of Colorado
    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published bi-monthly by The State Historical Society of Colorado Vol.XVIII Denver, Colorado, November, 1941 No. 6 The Financing of Early Colorado Railroads s. D. MocK~' Three railroads-the Denver Pacific, the Kansas Pacific, and the Colorado Central-had completec1 their connections to Denver by the fall of 1870. These lines were a necessary adjunct to the cleYelopment of the region. and they had bel:'n gained only after a seYere struggle against Yen· considerable odds. Den Yer 's im­ mense satisfaction therefore is entirely understandable, eYen though the result hac1 been achieYed mainly through the assistance of out­ siders. This latter feature presents a significant point of departure for the discussion of early Colorado railroad finances. Generally speaking, new regions will lack the immediate capital to develop iheir own economy. Hence, outside aid in the form of capital investments will be essential if the region is to realize its full economic potential. But obYiously these outside capitalists will be interested only for the financial opportunity the new region may afford. 'l'his will depend mainly upon the natural resources of the region, but it will also be influenced some­ what by the extent to which the local entrepreneurs already are entrenched in their possession of desirable economic opportunities. These local capitalists, who have surveyed the potentialities of the region and stakpd out their claims, are now-because of the scarcity of local funds-compelled to clicker with the outsiders for the all-essential financial assistance they can offer. Naturally they would surrender no more of their €quities than necessary, but since each 'ms a necessary supplement to the other a moclits vivendii usually could be arranged whereby the local and the out­ side entrepreneurs could go forth arm in arm to exploit-and incidentally, to benefit-the economy of the new region.
