The geochemistry of these lavas is transitional between hypersthene and nepheline normative and is very similar to other lavas in the region, e.g., the Jornado del Muerto volcanic field. The mag matic noble gas signature, here given in terms of3He/'He, correlates well with radiogenic isotopes and indicates that the magmas either were derived from a mantle source more enriched in incompatible elements than aver age asthenosphere or have seen some crustal contamination. We have measured the age of the Carrizozo upper flow using 3 He cosmogenic surface exposure dating. The age of 4800 ± 1700 yrs before present (ybp) agrees well with other recent determinations. The Broken Back portion of the field is older. Cone morphology and degree of surficial alteration of magnetite to hematite, as deduced from remote sensing, indicates that the cones may be approximately 100 ka old.","PeriodicalId":427403,"journal":{"name":"Las Cruces Country II","volume":"154 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116403856","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}

An east-west-trending fault served as the flowpath for mineralization with manto deposits localized by small anticlinal flexures in host Paleozoic sedimentary rocks. All manto deposits are confined to the dolomite units directly beneath the Percha Shale, a unit that acted as an impermeable barrier to ore fluids. Quartz vein and breccia deposits are present in the main fault, beneath the mantos, and in subsidiary crossfaults. Temperatures of mineralization, determined by homogenization temperatures of fluid inclusions (Th), overlap although mean temperatures in mantos (Th = 206°C) are higher than in the quartz-tellurium ores (Th = 178°C). Upper portions of the manto deposits are devoid of tellurides, while samples in close proximity to the quartz-tellurium ores contain the base metal tellurides, altaite (PbTe), and rickardite (Cu,Te,). The quartztellurium ores display a distinct paragenesis of galena-altaite-native tellurium, indicating increasing Te fugacity over time. Base metal telluride assemblages formed by reaction between preexisting sulfides and a tellurium-rich fluid. 265","PeriodicalId":427403,"journal":{"name":"Las Cruces Country II","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129739741","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}

The alkaline intrusions rose along pre-Permian faults near and at the edge of the Pedernal uplift, and moved lateraUy along the unconformity between Precambrian rocks and the base of the Permian and along the dis conformity between the Permian San Andres and overlying Cretaceous rocks. The present-day level of erosion exposes a variety of intrusive forms. Intrusions caused a series of continuous anticlines and synclines and local sags and uplifts in the Permian rocks. Cretaceous rocks occur only in patches along the edges of the resistant intrusions and are remnants of a mostly eroded section that once covered the area. Cretaceous rocks are pre served in and beneath Quaternary landslides that slid off Alamo, San Antonio, Chattfield, and Black Mountains.","PeriodicalId":427403,"journal":{"name":"Las Cruces Country II","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129666649","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}
