Lucas","doi":"10.56577/sm-2017.483","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.56577/sm-2017.483","url":null,"abstract":"We document a new chasmosaurine ceratopsid from the Upper Cretaceous Hall Lake Member of the McRae Formation, New Mexico. The chasmosaurine fossils consists of much of the skull, several vertebrae, ribs, and incomplete forelimbs. The fossils were collected from a red mudstone bed ~24 m above the base of the Hall Lake Member, south of McRae Canyon, Sierra County. Based on the occurrence of a tyrannosaur equivalent in body size to Tyrannosaurus rex and the sauropod Alamosaurus sanjuanensis , the Hall Lake Member is dated as Lancian (late Maastrichtian). The new chasmosaurine taxon is distinguished by a short but robust supraorbital horncore that is anteroposteriorly wide and mediolaterally compressed, premaxilla with a short pronounced ridge on the lateral surface, pterygoid with flat posteromedial ridge, robust jugal with pronounced posterolateral ridge, robust epijugal, and a long fenestrated frill with a strongly convex median parietal bar, and transversely narrow squamosal with a pointed end and elongate episquamosals. Cladistic analysis recoverses the McRae Formation chasmosaurine ceratopsian as a sister to Pentaceratops and places it within the Coahuilaceratops + Utahceratops clade based on the transversely narrow squamosal and the transversely expanded frill posteriorly. The discovery of the new taxon adds to the diversity of chasmosaurine ceratopsians during the final stage of the Late Cretaceous and to the poorly known dinosaur fauna of the McRae Formation.","PeriodicalId":192881,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Volume: \"Uranium in New Mexico: the Resource and the Legacy\", New Mexico Geological Society, 2017 Annual Spring Meeting","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115034443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Implications of Past Extents of Rio Salado and Rio Puerco Deposits in the Southwestern Corner of the Albuquerque Basin, New Mexico","authors":"D. Love, A. Rinehart, R. Chamberlin, Eda Celep, D. Koning","doi":"10.56577/sm-2017.535","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.56577/sm-2017.535","url":null,"abstract":"The southwestern part of the Albuquerque Basin of the Rio Grande rift between the Ladron Mountains and Rio Grande Valley is cut by three major and several lesser-known north-south normal faults with Quaternary offsets: Loma Pelada, Loma Blanca, and Cliff (from west to east). Each fault block exposes different sedimentary deposits ranging in age from mid-Miocene to early Quaternary. Deposits in the footwall of the west-down Cliff fault adjacent to the modern Rio Grande Valley consist of two kinds of southeast-directed channels and floodplain deposits of the ancestral Rio Puerco and Rio Salado and mixtures. The two channel types presumably joined the ancestral Rio Grande west of the Joyita Hills. The floodplain/basin-floor deposits are time- and in-part lithologically correlative with the broad fluvial fan of the Ceja Formation and Llano de Albuquerque to the north; they predate development of high-level terraces of the Rio Grande and modern west-east Rio Salado Valley to the south. Clasts are distinctive for the two types of stream channels, although locally some become mixed. Rio Puerco gravels commonly are well-rounded siliceous pebbles (at least 20 % chert) less than 8 cm long with a few larger pebbles; rare pebbles of 3.26-Ma Grants obsidian are present in upper exposures. Rio Salado clasts include larger, subangular-subrounded pebbles to boulders of limestone, sandstone, granite, quartzite, other Proterozoic metamorphic rocks, ash-flow tuffs, intermediate and basaltic volcanic rocks, and rare travertine. To determine the path(s) of the two channel types upstream from the exposures at the north end of the Cliff fault, we looked for similar suites of clasts between the Cliff and Loma Blanca faults and between the Loma Blanca and Loma Pelada faults. Northeast-directed Rio Salado deposits meet and overlie Rio Puerco deposits along the southern margins of the Rio Puerco Valley west of the Cliff fault and may be traced southwest to the east side of the Loma Blanca fault north of the Rio Salado Valley. Between the Loma Blanca and Loma Pelada faults, two possible levels of northeast-trending bluff-lines with Rio-Salado-type gravel deposits south of the bluffs suggest northeastward-directed paths toward the Rio Puerco. However, in the underlying deposits that clearly predate piedmont gravels shed from the Ladron Mountains, similar suites of “Rio Salado” clasts indicate northward transport. The transport direction shifts northeastward near AT&T road. North of AT&T road, clasts similar to the “Rio Salado” suite are directed southeast and probably were reworked from separate exposures northeast of the Ladron Mountains. Rio Puerco channels on both sides of the Loma Blanca fault are also directed southeast. We conclude that there may be several origins for clasts of the “Rio Salado suite” exposed in the footwall of the Cliff fault and that paleogeographic maps of fluvial contributors to deposits of the southern Albuquerque Basin may need revision.","PeriodicalId":192881,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Volume: \"Uranium in New Mexico: the Resource and the Legacy\", New Mexico Geological Society, 2017 Annual Spring Meeting","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114061642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The “Box Canyon tuff” and its Relationship to the Schoolhouse Mountain Caldera, Mogollon-Datil Volcanic Field, Southwest New Mexico","authors":"J. Amato, V. Swenton, W. Mcintosh, T. Jonell","doi":"10.56577/sm-2017.539","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.56577/sm-2017.539","url":null,"abstract":"Rhyolite tuffs in the Mogollon-Datil volcanic field (MDVF; McIntosh et al., 1991;1992, hereafter M91, M92) and Boot Heel volcanic field (BHVF: McIntosh and Bryan, 2000) were previously correlated based on 40 Ar/ 39 Ar sanidine geochronology and paleomagnetism. For this project we revisited correlations between tuffs and inferred caldera sources for the time period 33.8–33.7 Ma, focusing on the “Box Canyon tuff” (M92). The southwestern MDVF contains exposures of several ~33.7 Ma tuffs, including Luna, Fall Canyon, Cherokee Canyon, “Kneeling Nun of Hedlund, 1978” (not actually Kneeling Nun), “Sugarlump,” Bell Top 6, and Box Canyon. These were grouped as the “Box Canyon tuff” at 33.73 ± 0.13 Ma (M92; formerly 33.51 Ma; all ages recalculated). Most samples were from outflow sheets, but the Cherokee Canyon tuff within the SMC was interpreted as caldera-fill and thus the SMC was inferred as the source of the “Box Canyon” tuffs. McIntosh and Bryan (2000) subsequently noted that the Oak Creek tuff, sourced from the Juniper caldera in the BHVF, also has an age of 33.72 Ma. Thus, there are two potential sources for the 33.7 “Box Canyon” tuff: the SMC and the Juniper caldera. We tested these correlations using electron microprobe analysis of sanidine. The two stratigraphically highest tuffs in the SMC, McCauley Ranch (33.99 Ma, this and Cherokee Canyon (33.84 Ma, this yielded average compositions of Or 43 and Or 55 , whereas the Oak Creek (33.72 ± 0.07 Ma, McIntosh and Bryan, 2000), “Kneeling Nun of Hedlund, 1978” (33.8 Ma, M91), and Bell Top 6 (33.8 Ma M91) tuffs have sanidine compositions in a cluster around Or 65 . The Oak Creek tuff from the Juniper caldera has sanidine more geochemically similar to other “Box Canyon” tuffs than to the Cherokee Canyon tuff of the SMC, and therefore the SMC is not the exclusive source for the “Box Canyon tuff”. Future work will characterize the other “Box Canyon” tuffs to determine if they represent outflow sheets from the SMC. One potential area is Knight’s Peak, 20 km south of the SMC. There, the JPB Mountain tuff is 36.3 ± 0.6 Ma (U-Pb zircon). The overlying C-Bar Canyon rhyolite tuff did not yield sanidine. The overlying “Kneeling Nun of Hedlund, 1978” is 33.77 Ma (M91) and thus cannot be Kneeling Nun (~35 Ma). This is overlain by the intermediate lava flows of Malpais Hills that yielded a U-Pb age of 32.6 ± 0.4 Ma. The unrecalculated age of 33.51 Ma (M92) has been long used as the “age” of the SMC (e.g., Chapin et al., 2004). Continuing work on the SMC will determine the age of the caldera collapse and caldera fill deposits.","PeriodicalId":192881,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Volume: \"Uranium in New Mexico: the Resource and the Legacy\", New Mexico Geological Society, 2017 Annual Spring Meeting","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116589187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
