Besides having specific implications for the formation of these particular features, our project will aid in understanding similar structures across the Colorado Plateau. Various researchers [e.g., Rubin, 1991; Mériaux and Jaupart, 1998; Segall et al., 2001] imagine the emplacement of a dike as vertical movement through host rock, often along preexisting faults or cracks, driven by magma pressure, and modified by the change in stress regime with depth. Other models [e.g., Delaney and Pollard, 1981; Quareni et al., 2001] allow magma to flow in pipes in addition to, and possibly following, its emplacement in dikes. Our results will provide valuable data against which to test such competing models of magma emplacement, and Figure 1: View of the Ship Rock diatreme from the – in a wider sense – aid in understanding diverse South-East (Photo: Brett Mayhew) processes like hydraulic fracturing, tensile fracturing, and dike-generated seismicity [Baer, Seven dikes of mafic minette (a potassic mica 1991]. lamprophyre containing phlogopite) extend from the diatreme.

  • Origin of Non-Bedded Pyroclastic Rocks in the Cathedral Cliff Diatreme, Navajo Volcanic Field, New Mexico
    The following document is a pre-print version of: Bélanger C, Ross P-S (2018) Origin of nonbedded pyroclastic rocks in the Cathedral Cliff diatreme, Navajo volcanic field, New Mexico. Bull. Volc. 80:article 61, DOI 10.1007/s00445-018-1234-0 Origin of non-bedded pyroclastic rocks in the Cathedral Cliff diatreme, Navajo volcanic field, New Mexico Caroline Bélanger*, Pierre-Simon Ross Institut national de la recherche scientifique, 490 rue de la Couronne, Québec (Qc), G1K 9A9, Canada * Corresponding author. E-mail addresses: [email protected] (C. Bélanger), [email protected] (P.-S. Ross) Keywords : Diatreme, non-bedded pyroclastic rocks, phreatomagmatic, Navajo volcanic field Abstract Cathedral Cliff is a well exposed mid-Tertiary phreatomagmatic diatreme in the Navajo volcanic field, New Mexico. Post-eruptive erosion, estimated between 500 m and 1000 m, exposes the deep part of the diatreme. Cathedral Cliff provides an opportunity to examine the transition between the bedded pyroclastic rocks of an upper diatreme, and the non-bedded pyroclastic rocks of the subjacent lower diatreme. Bedded pyroclastic rocks occupy 49% of the mapped diatreme area, non-bedded pyroclastic rocks occupy 45%, and the remaining 6% consists of sedimentary megablocks. The bedded pyroclastic rocks range from coarse tuff to medium lapilli tuff, and from lithic to juvenile rich. They were emplaced during eruption at the bottom of the crater by pyroclastic density currents, pyroclastic fallout, and as ballistic bombs and blocks. As the eruption continued, they subsided into the diatreme to their current location. Bedding ranges from well-preserved (“continuous beds”) to partially destroyed (“broken beds”).

    81 THE WASHINGTON PASS VOLCANIC CENTER: EVOLUTION AND ERUPTION OF MINETTE MAGMAS OF THE NAVAJO VOLCANIC FIELD S.N. Ehrenberg (Department of Earth and Space Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles, California 90024) Minettes of the Navajo Volcanic Field are of interest because they formed at depths of at least 150 km and appear to be genetically related to kimberlite diatremes. Minettes and their extrusive equivalents (tra- chybasalts) at the 2 km diameter subsidence crater at Washington Pass were chosen for detailed study because of the relatively well-developed eruptive history displayed in the crater stratigraphy and the presence of contrasting mafic and trachytic lavas. Eruption began with ejection of voluminous pyroclastic deposits, including both tuff-breccias, composed predominantly of comminuted sediments with subordinate minette and cry¬ stalline basement fragments, and agglomerates, composed mainly of minette clasts. These deposits are thickest (>100 m) on the east and west sides of the crater, where they are exposed in cliffs produced by landsliding. On the west, tuff-breccias predominate and exhibit a remark¬ able alternation of coarse- and fine-grained beds 0.1 - 1 m thick, suggest¬ ive of rhythmic variation in the physical properties in the eruptive med¬ ium. On the east, the pyroclastic materials are mostly agglo¬ merates. Low-angle cross-bedding is common in all the pyroclastic beds, but in the eastern agglomerates this feature is accompanied by dune structures. Some of these formed by accretion on the lee side, while others display accretion on the side facing the crater. Asymmetrical bomb sags are also abundant in this area.

  • Shiprock Disposal Site Observational Site Visit
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF Legacy EN ERGYI Management Shiprock, New Mexico, Disposal Site This fact sheet provides information about the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation ControlAct of 1978 Title I disposalsite at Shiprock, New Mexico. This site is managed by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Legacy Management. Site Description and History The Shiprock site is the location of a former uranium- and vanadium-ore-processing facility within the Navajo Nation in the northwest corner of New Mexico near the town of Shiprock, approximately 28 miles west of Farmington. Kerr-McGee built the mill and operated the facility from 1954 until 1963. Vanadium Corporation of America purchased the mill and operated it until it closed in 1968. The milling operations created process- related wastes and radioactive tailings, a predominantly sandy material. The mill, ore storage area, raffinate ponds (ponds that contain spent liquids from the milling process), and tailings piles occupied approximately 230 acres leased from the Navajo Nation. In 1983, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Navajo Nation entered into an agreement for site cleanup. By September 1986, all tailings and associ- ated materials (including contaminated materials from offsite vicinity properties) were encapsulated in the disposal cell built on top of the existing tailings piles. Regulatory Setting Location of the Shiprock Disposal Site Congress passed the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation from the disposal cell to the San Juan River is about Control Act (UMTRCA) in 1978 (Public Law 95-604) 600 feet. and DOE remediated 22 inactive uranium-ore- Groundwater in the terrace area is thought to be a processing sites under the Uranium Mill Tailings result of human activities.

  • Assessment of Wetland Condition on the Rio Grande National Forest
    Assessment of Wetland Condition on the Rio Grande National Forest October 2012 Colorado Natural Heritage Program Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 Assessment of Wetland Condition on the Rio Grande National Forest Prepared for: USDA Forest Service Rio Grande National Forest 1803 W. Highway 160 Monte Vista, CO 81144 Prepared by: Joanna Lemly Colorado Natural Heritage Program Warner College of Natural Resources Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado 80523 All photos taken by Colorado Natural Heritage Program Staff. Copyright © 2012 Colorado State University Colorado Natural Heritage Program All Rights Reserved EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Rio Grande National Forest (RGNF) covers 1.83 million acres in south central Colorado and contains the very headwaters of the Rio Grande River. The Forest’s diverse geography creates a template for equally diverse wetlands, which provide important ecological services to both the RGNF and lands downstream. Though now recognized as a vital component of the landscape, many wetlands have been altered by a range of human land uses since European settlement. Across the RGNF, mining, logging, reservoirs, water diversions, grazing, and recreation have all impacted wetlands. In order to adequately manage and protect wetland resources on the RGNF, reliable data are needed on their location, extent and condition. Between 2008 and 2011, Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) partnered with Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) on a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funded effort to map and assess the condition of wetlands throughout the Rio Grande Headwaters River Basin, which includes the RGNF. Existing paper maps of wetlands created by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)’s National Wetland Inventory (NWI) program were converted to digital data by GIS Analysts at CPW.
