Jones, A. Potochnik, S. Lucas, P. Johnson","doi":"10.1130/B26081.1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1130/B26081.1","url":null,"abstract":"Great thicknesses of eolian dune deposits of early Oligocene age crop out in the Chuska Mountains of northwestern New Mexico-Arizona (as much as 535 m thick) and in the Mogollon-Datil volcanic field of western New Mexico-Arizona (as much as 300 m thick). 40 Ar/ 39 Ar ages of intercalated volcanic rocks indicate eolian deposition in these areas was approximately synchronous, with eolian accumulation beginning regionally at ca. 33.5 Ma and ending at ca. 27 Ma. Probable eolian sandstone of Oligocene age 483 m thick is also present in the subsurface of the Albuquerque Basin of the Rio Grande rift. The beginning of eolian deposition on the Colorado Plateau corresponds closely to the beginning of eolian (loessic) deposition in the White River Group of the Great Plains and major Oi1 glaciation in Antarctica, suggesting possible global paleoclimatic control. Successions of Oligocene eolian sandstone on the Colorado Plateau are thicker than all of the better known Upper Paleozoic-Mesozoic eolianites in the region, except the Jurassic Navajo Sandstone. We suggest that the widely separated Oligocene eolianites in the Colorado Plateau region were probably originally continuous, and thus are erosional remnants of an extensive (∼140,000 km 2 ), regional sand sea (the Chuska erg). This interpretation is based on: (1) comparison with thickness trends of older eolianites in the Colorado Plateau region, (2) evaluation of regional topographic gradients of modern ergs, and (3) hydrologic modeling of a 300- to 400-m–thick zone of saturation that existed during eolian deposition in the Chuska Mountains. The Chuska erg represents the final episode of Paleogene aggradation on the central and southern Colorado Plateau. Aggradation was driven primarily by trapping of fluvial sediments on the plateau by development of major volcanic fields along the eastern plateau margin. These volcanic fields blocked earlier Laramide drainages that had previously transported sediments eastward off the plateau. Following a shift to widespread eolian deposition at ca. 33.5 Ma, constructional volcanic topography induced eolian accumulation upwind of developing volcanic fields. Stratal accumulation rates (not decompacted) of eolian deposits were ∼28–82 m/m.y. The reconstructed top of the Chuska erg would lie at a present-day elevation of ∼3000 m or more, and provides a datum for assessing subsequent erosion on the Colorado Plateau. Major exhumation (≥1230 m) occurred during the late Oligocene and early Miocene, following the end of Chuska deposition and prior to the onset of Bidahochi Formation deposition at ca. 16 Ma on the south-central part of the plateau. The Bidahochi Formation attained a thickness of ∼250 m by ca. 6 Ma, followed by ∼520 m of late Miocene and younger erosion in the valley of the Little Colorado River. The depth of late Oligocene-early Miocene (ca. 26–16 Ma) exhumation of the central and southern Colorado Plateau thus was more than twice that of the late Miocene-Holocene","PeriodicalId":203318,"journal":{"name":"New Mexico Geological Society, 2006 Annual Spring Meeting, Proceedings Volume","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131696667","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}

Most specimens are accompanied by precise locality information based on plots on USGS 7.5’ maps. These collections were utilized in numerous theses, dissertations, and scientific publications. However, for approximately the last decade, the University of Arizona had stored the collection off campus among various facilities, making it nearly inaccessible to researchers. Ultimately, the University of Arizona (UA) agreed to transfer this collection to the NMMNH. In September 2005, a crew from the NMMNH traveled to Tucson to pack up and move this collection to Albuquerque. Specimens were stored offsite in two different storage areas; one a commercial storage facility and the other, the Duval Street garage building. A rented U-Haul truck was loaded with storage cabinets at the NMMNH and driven to Tucson. The packing and transfer of specimens were accomplished in just three days. The specimens have subsequently been cataloged into the NMMNH collection (a total of over 2,800 cataloged specimens). The locality database has also been incorporated into that of the NMMNH. In addition, the UTM coordinates have been estimated for all locality plots so that data can be easily shared between agencies and utilized for land-use decisions.","PeriodicalId":203318,"journal":{"name":"New Mexico Geological Society, 2006 Annual Spring Meeting, Proceedings Volume","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116338252","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}
