C.simplex is a horizontal, three-lobed trace interpreted as a repichnia. Other traces in this ichnoassemblage that are commonly associated with the Cruziana ichnofacies include Thalassinoides, Arthrophycus, Planolities, scratch marks (and others not yet reported). Our Curvolithus specimensare preserved exclusively in convex epirelief on iron-stained, massive sandstones, interbedded with thin grey shales. At this location the lower contact of the Sarten Member is easily distinguishable from the Mesilla Valley Formation below. Although the base of the Mojado Formation was originally defined arbitrarily by the thickness of sandstone interbeds, or a change in sandstone lithology, we see a distinct change in ichnoassemblages between these two Formations, which may be used to define the contact in the future.","PeriodicalId":50244,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cave and Karst Studies","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75026653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chemistry and stream discharge data indicate that Eagle Creek is likely the main source of water for Snowy River. Seepage from Eagle Creek recharges a perched aquifer in the fluvial sediments that lie below the Snowy River calcite formation that lines the stream channel. Water in this aquifer leaks downward to recharge the regional aquifer. During periods of high stream discharge in Eagle Creek, when recharge rates exceed leakage rates, a pressure response to the head increase in the recharge area causes the water table to quickly rise above the streambed, initiating stream flow in Snowy River, which ultimately discharges at Government Spring and flows into the Rio Bonito.","PeriodicalId":50244,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cave and Karst Studies","volume":"128 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72768133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Unity gaming engine was used to allow easy exploration and inspection of this 3-D model on a PC, Mac, or Linux computer, either as a first-person viewer, or as an avatar. This tool (Caver Quest) is available for free on the Fort Stanton Cave Study Project web site (www.FSCSP.org). The half mile of Snowy River in Caver Quest also has been deployed to the Meta Quest 2 virtual reality headset (“Caver Trek: Snowy River”). This highly-immersive tool allows for more detailed inspection of this section of the cave. A Quest 2 headset will be available at the conference for experiencing this simulation. An additional four miles of passage in the historic section of the cave has been modeled with lidar-determined walls in Caver Quest. To reduce the file size, generic wall textures from photos in the local area are used instead of actual photos along the entire seven-mile stretch. Caver Quest can be used to familiarize researchers with the structure of the cave and estimate travel times to distant locations for sampling.","PeriodicalId":50244,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cave and Karst Studies","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74313870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Contrasting Geologic and Geoarchaeological Views of Grants Ridge Obsidian Deposits, Mount Taylor Volcanic Field, New Mexico","authors":"S. Shackley, F. Goff","doi":"10.56577/sm-2022.2791","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.56577/sm-2022.2791","url":null,"abstract":"In 1993, Julie Stein and Angela Linse published, in a Geological Society of America Special Paper (283), a geological and archaeological examination of concepts of scale in those disciplines (Stein and Linse 1993). In both complementary disciplines the issue of scale is crucial for research. However, in many instances the two disciplines conceive of scale in very different ways. At times in geology the size and resolution of scale is tightly constrained, in other situations much less so. The same in archaeology. The obvious difference is in conceiving geological formations either in structure or composition. Mapping archaeological sites down to the millimeter is quite common for archaeologists, indeed expected. Geologists rarely are concerned about this level of scale in geological mapping. Geoarchaeological mapping of stone sources is often at a finer resolution as well (Shackley 1998; Shackley et al. Our research on the obsidian sources in the Mount Taylor volcanic field is where the contrasting views of scale intersected. Goff rightly, and with intensive research, characterizes the obsidian at Mount Taylor as derived from the Grants Ridge rhyolite center, which is most certainly correct. However, Shackley has identified two compositionally and structurally different obsidian \"sources\" that have important archaeological meaning - the scale is different. Called geoarchaeologically \"Grants Ridge\" or \"Horace/La Jara Mesa\" obsidian, the former exhibits a more vitrophyric fabric and a less desirable media for stone tool production, while the latter is generally aphyric and a somewhat better media for stone tool production. This difference is reflected in the archaeological record and archaeological contexts in the region. Is the geological definition incorrect? Of course not, but the scale of definition is quite contrasting, and just as meaningful to either discipline. After spending two days field sampling in Goff et al's (2019) geochronologically defined map units in \"Grants Ridge rhyolite\" a better understanding of scale for both geoarchaeology and geology has become visible. Indeed, some of the map units on Horace Mesa, based on the geoarchaeological examination of the obsidian in those units could be expanded. It's a matter of scale. We present those inferences, both for the Mount Taylor specific example, and as a potential guide for future geological and geoarchaeological research.","PeriodicalId":50244,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cave and Karst Studies","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77862096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
