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.

The Friends of the Pleistocene is an informal gathering of Quaternary geologists, geomorphologists, and pedologists who meet annually in the field. The field guide has been separated into two parts. Part C (open-file report 454C) contains the three-days of road logs and stop descriptions. Part D (open-file report 454D) contains a collection of mini-papers relevant to field-trip stops. This field guide is a companion to open-file report 454A and 454B, which accompanied a field trip for the annual meeting of the Rocky Mountain/South Central Section of the Geological Society of America, held in Albuquerque in late April. -

GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE REDONDO PEAK 7.5-MINUTE QUADRANGLE, SANDOVAL COUNTY, NEW MEXICO 1:24,000 by Fraser Goff, Jamie N. Gardner, Steven L. Reneau, and Cathy J. Goff INTRODUCTION The Redondo Peak 7.5 minute quadrangle is in Sandoval County and straddles the southern rim of the Valles caldera in the Jemez Mountains, New Mexico (Fig. 1). Topographically, the quadrangle is bounded by Redondo Peak on the north, the Banco Bonito plateau and Cat Mesa on the west, Valle Grande on the northeast, and a series of north-trending canyons and ridges to the south and southeast (San Juan Canyon, Peralta Ridge, etc.). Geologically, the quadrangle consists of three domains: the resurgent dome of Valles caldera in the north; the southern moat of Valles caldera in the center; and a part of the Jemez Mountains volcanic field to the south. -

Dethier 2003 Puye, p. 1 DESCRIPTION OF MAP UNITS General notes: Gravel in the Santa Fe Group is composed of (1) pink granite, pegmatite, amphibolite, sparse clasts of sedimentary rock, and minor fragments of epidote derived from Precambrian terrane to the northeast and east of the quadrangle; and (2) gray volcanic rocks, mainly of intermediate composition, derived from Tertiary volcanic terrane to the north. Axial-river gravel in the Puye Formation and in Quaternary alluvial and channel deposits consists mainly of (1) quartzite, granite, metavolcanic rocks, and pegmatite derived from Precambrian terrane to the north (Griggs, 1964); (2) lesser amounts of northern Tertiary silicic and intermediate volcanic rocks; and (3) less than 5 percent basalt and dark- to light-colored chert. -

CCNS remains true to its mission: to protect all living beings and the environment from the effects of radioactive and other highly hazardous materials now and in the future. This project was supported by a grant from the Citizens’ Monitoring and Technical Assessment Fund. New Mexico’s Right to Know: The Potential for Groundwater Contaminants from LANL to Reach the Rio Grande Executive Summary Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) was established in 1943. It is located on the Pajarito Plateau in north central New Mexico, approximately 40 miles northwest of Santa Fe. The Pajarito Plateau consists of a series of east-west oriented canyons and mesas. It is bounded on the west by the Jemez Mountains and on the east by the Rio Grande.
