The age assigned to the Kinney Brick Quarry (early-middle Virgilian) has long been based more on its inferred lithostratigraphic position than on biostratigraphic indicators at the quarry. We have developed three datasets —-stratigraphic position, fusulinids and conodonts— that in- dicate the Kinney Brick Quarry is older, of middle Missourian (Kasimovian) age.

  • The Bearhead Rhyolite, Jemez Volcanic Field, NM
    Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research 107 32001) 241±264 www.elsevier.com/locate/jvolgeores Effusive eruptions from a large silicic magma chamber: the Bearhead Rhyolite, Jemez volcanic ®eld, NM Leigh Justet*, Terry L. Spell Department of Geosciences, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, NV, 89154-4010, USA Received 23 February 2000; accepted 6 November 2000 Abstract Large continental silicic magma systems commonly produce voluminous ignimbrites and associated caldera collapse events. Less conspicuous and relatively poorly documented are cases in which silicic magma chambers of similar size to those associated with caldera-forming events produce dominantly effusive eruptions of small-volume rhyolite domes and ¯ows. The Bearhead Rhyolite and associated Peralta Tuff Member in the Jemez volcanic ®eld, New Mexico, represent small-volume eruptions from a large silicic magma system in which no caldera-forming event occurred, and thus may have implications for the genesis and eruption of large volumes of silicic magma and the long-term evolution of continental silicic magma systems. 40Ar/39Ar dating reveals that most units mapped as Bearhead Rhyolite and Peralta Tuff 3the Main Group) were erupted during an ,540 ka interval between 7.06 and 6.52 Ma. These rocks de®ne a chemically coherent group of high-silica rhyolites that can be related by simple fractional crystallization models. Preceding the Main Group, minor amounts of unrelated trachydacite and low silica rhyolite were erupted at ,11±9 and ,8 Ma, respectively, whereas subsequent to the Main Group minor amounts of unrelated rhyolites were erupted at ,6.1 and ,1.5 Ma. The chemical coherency, apparent fractional crystallization-derived geochemical trends, large areal distribution of rhyolite domes 3,200 km2), and presence of a major hydrothermal system support the hypothesis that Main Group magmas were derived from a single, large, shallow magma chamber.

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.

  • Pliocene and Early Pleistocene) Faunas from New Mexico
    Chapter 12 Mammalian Biochronology of Blancan and Irvingtonian (Pliocene and Early Pleistocene) Faunas from New Mexico GARY S. MORGAN1 AND SPENCER G. LUCAS2 ABSTRACT Signi®cant mammalian faunas of Pliocene (Blancan) and early Pleistocene (early and medial Irvingtonian) age are known from the Rio Grande and Gila River valleys of New Mexico. Fossiliferous exposures of the Santa Fe Group in the Rio Grande Valley, extending from the EspanÄola basin in northern New Mexico to the Mesilla basin in southernmost New Mexico, have produced 21 Blancan and 6 Irvingtonian vertebrate assemblages; three Blancan faunas occur in the Gila River Valley in the Mangas and Duncan basins in southwestern New Mexico. More than half of these faunas contain ®ve or more species of mammals, and many have associated radioisotopic dates and/or magnetostratigraphy, allowing for correlation with the North American land-mammal biochronology. Two diverse early Blancan (4.5±3.6 Ma) faunas are known from New Mexico, the Truth or Consequences Local Fauna (LF) from the Palomas basin and the Buckhorn LF from the Mangas basin. The former contains ®ve species of mammals indicative of the early Blancan: Borophagus cf. B. hilli, Notolagus lepusculus, Neo- toma quadriplicata, Jacobsomys sp., and Odocoileus brachyodontus. Associated magnetostra- tigraphic data suggest correlation with either the Nunivak or Cochiti Subchrons of the Gilbert Chron (4.6±4.2 Ma), which is in accord with the early Blancan age indicated by the mam- malian biochronology. The Truth or Consequences LF is similar in age to the Verde LF from Arizona, and slightly older than the Rexroad 3 and Fox Canyon faunas from Kansas.

  • Intro and Background
    A RIVER IN TRANSITION: GEOMORPHIC AND BED SEDIMENT RESPONSE TO COCHITI DAM ON THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE, BERNALILLO TO ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO BY RICHARD M. ORTIZ B.S. , EARTH AND PLANETARY SCIENCES, UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO, 2000 THESIS Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Earth and Planetary Sciences The University of New Mexico Albuquerque, New Mexico December, 2004 DEDICATION I dedicate my thesis to my parents Sam and Jan Ortiz and to my advisor Dr. Grant Meyer. My Mom and Dad provided infinite amounts of love and encouragement which helped pull me through times when I thought this project would never get finished. They put up with numerous moments of frustration and despair. Without their undying love, patience and support I would not be the man I am today. Grant has had undying faith and infinite patience with me during this study. When I started this project my knowledge of Geomorphology was very limited. Grant took a chance and allowed me to study under his guidance. He has taught me many things over the last few years; from the basic fundamentals of fluvial geomorphology and the importance of understanding surficial processes and their effects on local and regional geomorphic settings, to the perfection of a draw stroke and a fly cast. Not only has he been a great mentor, he has been a great friend and colleague. He has always treated me with respect, listened to my interpretations and ideas, and gently guided me in the right direction. It has been a pleasure and an honor to work under the tutelage of such a well respected process geomorphologist.
