title: Abiquiu Formation

text:
The Abiquiu Formation is a geologic formation found in northern New Mexico. Radiometric dating constrains its age to between 18 million and 27 million years, corresponding to the late Oligocene to Miocene epochs.

The formation is composed mostly of volcanic debris from the Latir volcanic field, and records the early stages of the opening of the Rio Grande rift in northern New Mexico.

Artist Georgia O'Keeffe drew inspiration from her study of the formation at Plaza Blanca.

Description
The Abiquiu Formation  consists of light-gray to yellowish-gray, locally crossbedded, thin to thick beds of tuffaceous sandstone, pebbly sandstone, and siltstone. There are also a few gravel beds and lenses of mudstone. The clasts are mostly of volcanic rock, including Amalia Tuff and trachyandesite and trachydacite possibly also from the Latir volcanic field. The formation is exposed in a broad belt from the southwest flank of the Tusas Mountains to the Jarosa area in the northwest Jemez Mountains. The formation reaches a maximum thickness in excess of  near Cañones. The age of the formation is approximately bracketed by a lava flow near its top dated to 18.9 Ma and a 25 Ma flow near its base.

Both the lower contact of the formation with the Ritito Conglomerate and the upper contact with the Chama-El Rito Member of the Tesuque Formation are gradational. The transition to the Ritito Conglomerate is characterized by thick chert beds, informally designated the Pedernal chert for outcrops around Cerro Pedernal ().

Individual beds in the formation thicken across the Canones fault zone, which separates the Colorado Plateau from the Rio Grande rift. This indicates that the formation was deposited after rifting began within the Rio Grande rift.

The formation correlates with the Cordito Member of the Los Pinos Formation. It can be divided into three intervals based on the source of its sediments. The first interval derives its sediments from basement rock of the Tusas Mountains and from the San Juan volcanic field. The second interval is rich in eroded Amalia Tuff and is interpreted as erosion of the edge of the Amalia outflow sheet. The third interval is entirely composed of debris of the Latir volcanic field. These intervals reflect development of the early Rio Grande rift, with the final interval showing that tilting to the east in the San Luis basin was initially slow enough that debris from the Latir field filled the basin and overflowed to the southwest.

History of investigation
The Abiquiu Tuff was first named by H.T.U. Smith in 1938 for exposures near the town of Abiquiu, New Mexico. Smith designated only a type area and no type locality has been defined. Fermor S. Church and John T. Hack recognized almost at once that the unit consisted of a lower conglomeratic member and an upper tuffaceous member separated by a chert horizon (the Pedernal chert member). L.A. Woodward and R.S. Timmer first referred to the unit as the Abiquiu Formation in 1979. In 2009, Florian Maldonado and Shari A. Kelley correlated the lower conglomerate beds with the Ritito Conglomerate and removed them from the formation, retaining Pedernal Chert as an informal name for the chert beds of the transition between the Ritito Conglomerate and Abiquiu Formation.

Cultural importance
Georgia O'Keeffe painted her landscape "From the White Place" in 1940 based on her study of the Abiquiu Formation at Plaza Blanca, and her studio at Abiquiu commanded a view of the Plaza Blanca outcrops to the north.

title: Chamita Formation

text:
The Chamita Formation is a geologic formation in north-central New Mexico. It preserves unique fossils dating back to the Neogene period. The presence of volcanic ash beds in the formation, which can be radiometrically dated, gives the absolute age of the fossils, which is valuable for establishing the geologic time scale of the Neogene.

Description
The formation is mostly coarse quartz sandstone with some coarse gravel. It varies greatly in thickness, likely due to extensive erosion.

There are two prominent tuffaceous zones used by Galusha and Blick for regional correlation. Each is about  thick and they are separated by  of tan sediments. Radiometric dating shows that the age of the Upper Chamita Tuffaceous Zone is 6.93 ±0.05 million years at its base and 6.78 ±0.03 million years at its top, essentially identical with the Peralta Tuff, which it also chemically resembles. This helps establish the absolute date for the late Hemphillian, since a fossil assemblage of that stage is found in the zone. The Lower Chamita Tuffaceous Zone has a radiometric age of 7.7 ±0.3 million years. The age range for the complete section has been estimated as 9.5 to 5.8 million years. However, more recent work has yielded an age range of 12 to 13 Ma for a Lower Coarse White Ash Zone towards the base of the formation, which is thickest northeast of the Jemez Mountains and has been interpreted as ash fall from early silicic volcanic activity from vents now buried under later flows.

The base of the formation contains sediments resembling the underlying Ojo Caliente Member of the Tesuque Formation. This is interpreted as reworking of sediments in a changed sedimentation environment rather than interfingering. In other words, the lower part of the formation contains sediments eroded from the Ojo Caliente Member, rather than recording a fluctuating depositional environment.

Members of the formation include the Cejita and Cuarteles Members west of the modern Rio Grande River and the Pilar Mesa, Vallito, and Hernandez Members on both sides of the Rio Grande.

Fossil content
The Round Mountain Quarry has produced numerous fossils from the Chamita Formation. The artiodactyl Osbornoceros osborni was first located in the formation in the Lyden area, as was the only known specimen of the taxideine badger, Chamitataxus.

Mammals

Carnivorans

Lagomorphs

Proboscideans

Rodents

Ungulates

History of investigation
The beds making up the unit were originally included by Bryan and McCann in 1937 in the Middle Red member of the Santa Fe Formation.  This became the Tesuque Formation in 1956.

In 1971, Galusha and Blick split the uppermost beds from the Tesuque Formation as the Chamita Formation based on differences in lithology and fossil assemblage.

title: Gila Group

text:
The Gila Group is a group of geologic formations found along the upper tributaries of the Gila River in Arizona and New Mexico. Radiometric dating of  lava flows within the group yields an age of Miocene to Quaternary.

Description
The group is primarily conglomerate composed of clasts (rock fragments) weathered from nearby outcrops. There are also occasional thin sandstone and tuff beds and basalt flows. Total thickness is . Radiometric ages of basalt flows within the group range from 12.1 million years (Ma) to 1 Ma.

The group is similar in age and character to the Santa Fe Group. Both are sedimentary fill of extensional basins. The two groups are separated by the Continental Divide, and the Gila Group is separated from formations of similar age to the north by the Rim Divide, which separates the San Francisco and Salt River drainage basins to the south from the Little Colorado River drainage basin to the north.

Fossils
The Gila Group has yielded a diversity of fossils at Pearson Mesa (). These include four species of turtle, a heron, and fifteen mammal species. The latter includes the armadillo-like Glyptotherium arizonae, which is found in the southwestern United States only in beds of early Irvingtonian age.

History of investigation
The unit was first named as the Gila Conglomerate by G.K. Gilbert in 1875 from his participation in the Wheeler Survey. Only a type area was defined. By 1903 F.L. Ransome had mapped the unit into the Globe area. P.A. Wood divided the unit into the Bonita beds, Solomonsville beds, and Frye Mesa beds in 1960. In 1963, L.A. Heindl raised the unit to group rank and divided it into the San Manuel, Quiburis, and Sacaton Formations, but M.H. Krieger and coinvestigators removed the San Manuel and Quiburis Formations from the Gila and abandoned the Sacaton Formation, restoring the Gila to formation rank. J.C. Ratte and coinvestigators redesignated the unit as the Gila Formation based on its diverse lithology.

Cather and his coinvestigators redefined the extent of the Gila Group in 1994 as part of a sweeping revision of stratigraphy in western New Mexico and eastern Arizona. They retain it at group rank.

title: Popotosa Formation

text:
The Popotosa Formation is a geologic formation in New Mexico. It preserves fossils dating back to the Neogene period. These include the Socorro flora, notable for its fine preservation of plant reproductive structures.

Description
The Popotosa Formation is a thick (up to ) sequence of volcaniclastic beds with a few interspersed ash beds. It is exposed along the Rio Grande rift in the Socorro area. Radiometric dating of interbedded flows gives it an age of 26.4 to 7 million yeawrs (Ma), corresponding to the late Oligocene to Miocene. It lies on tuff outflow sheets of the Mogollon-Datil volcanic field, primarily the South Canyon Tuff, and is overlain by the Sierra Ladrones Formation.

The formation is interpreted as deposition of fanglomerates (mostly derived from the Mogollon-Datil volcanic field to the southwest) and playa sediments in a closed basin in the early stages of rifting along the Rio Grande rift. It is thus typical of the lower Santa Fe Group. The formation was severely deformed in the late Miocene or early Pliocene and some beds dip as much as 60 degrees. Faults displace the formation hundreds to thousands of meters.

Deformation in the middle Miocene caused the area to subside at a rate that exceeded the sediment supply, forming a topographically closed basin in which the Popotosa Formation was deposited. Increasing tilt rates created a series of regional unconformities. When tectonic activity finally slowed in the latest Miocene and early Pliocene, sedimentation exceeded accommodation. The basin began to fill, spilled over, and became an open basin as it was integrated into the ancestral Rio Grande river system. Sediments deposited after integration became the Sierra Ladrones Formation.

Fossils
The Popotosa Formation is the original locality for the Socorro flora, estimated to be 20 to 15 million years old. The Socorro flora is notable for its impressions of juniper foliage, angiosperm leaflets, and floral parts. It is of particular interest for its fine preservation, including of reproductive structures. The flora is dominated by Calliandra leaflets but also contains Juniperus

The formation has yielded a fossil of the pig-like oreodont Merychyus major major from an arroyo near San Antonito.

Economic geology
The formation contains lithium-rich smectite clay beds with up to 1250 parts per million of lithium. However, the beds discovered as of 1979 are not extensive enough for economic exploitation.

History of investigation
The unit was first described by C.S. Denny in 1940, who named it for exposures near Canada Popotosa. It was assigned to the lower Santa Fe Group by M.N. Machette in 1978.

title: Rincon Valley Formation

text:
The Rincon Valley Formation is a geologic formation found in the Rincon Valley of New Mexico. It preserves fossils dating back to the Miocene epoch and records a time when the valley was a closed basin, just before being integrated into the ancestral Rio Grande River.

Description
The formation consists of pink to reddish-brown gypsiferous claystone and siltstone; conglomerate; and conglomeratic sandstone. The thickness is . The formation is exposed in the badlands bordering the Rio Grande valley north of Las Cruces, New Mexico. It grades below into the Hayner Ranch Formation and unconformably underlies the Camp Rice Formation. It is interbedded with flows of the Selden Basalt Member with a radiometric age of 9.6 million years.

The formation consists of two facies representing different depositional environments. The first is a fine-grained gypsiferous slope-forming facies interpreted as playa deposits in a closed basin. This contains gypsum beds up to  thick. The second facies, which forms the upper  of the formation, is a more resistant poorly sorted conglomerate interpreted as piedmont deposits, eroded from the uplifts that bordered the basin.

The formation is interpreted as the final filling of the closed basin. During its deposition, tectonic deformation continued along the Rio Grande rift, of which the basin was a part. Some  of displacement occurring along the Caballo Mountains border faults on the west side of the basin. The Sierra de las Uvas and Dona Ana Mountains to the south and southeast were first thrown during deposition of the formation, with a displacement of about  on the bounding fault of the Sierra de las Ulvas block.

Study of this and other Cenozoic formations in the region has helped provide evidence for four episodes of block faulting in the Rio Grande rift in the last 35 million years.

Fossils
The formation is largely devoid of fossils. However, a single carpal bone of the rhinoceros Teleoceras fossiger has been recovered from the formation, of Hemphillian age, in agreement with the age of the formation from radiometric dating.

History of investigation
The formation was first defined by W.R. Seager and coinvestigators in 1971, and assigned to the Santa Fe Group.

title: Sierra Ladrones Formation

text:
The Sierra Ladrones Formation is a geologic formation exposed near the Rio Grande Valley in New Mexico. It preserves fossils of Pliocene to Pleistocene age.

Description
The formation consists of three facies representing different depositional environments. These are piedmont slope and alluvial fan deposits, typically composed of light-brown to light-reddish-brown sandstone and fanglomerate; axial stream deposits, which are composed of light-gray to light-yellowish-brown fine- to medium-grained sand and sandstone with fluvial cross-bedding and cut-and-fill channels; and interbedded basalt flows with a K-Ar age of 4.5 +/-0.1 million years (Ma. The total thickness is in excess of .  The formation unconformably overlies or is in fault contact with the Popotosa Formation or older formations. Its age is early Pliocene to middle Pleistocene (2 Ma to 5 Ma.)

The formation is interpreted as fanglomerates shed from the flanking uplifts of the Rio Grande Rift and channel and floodplain deposits of the ancestral Rio Grande.

Fossils
The formation has yielded abundant fossils of Irvingtonian age at Tijeras Arroyo, south of Albuquerque International Airport. These include Hypolagus, Equus, Mammuthus, and Hesperotestudo.

History of investigation
The formation was defined by M.N. Machette in 1978 for exposures in the Sierra Ladrones, a range of low foothills of the Ladron Mountains, in the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge.

The formation was subsequently mapped into the lower Rio Puerco valley and as far north as the Santo Domingo basin.

title: Tesuque Formation

text:
The Tesuque Formation is a geologic formation in north-central New Mexico, United States. The formation provides an unusually complete record of the evolution of mammals during the Miocene epoch.

Description
The formation is primarily siltstone and fine sandstone, with some boulder conglomerate beds in its eastern exposures close to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. It is interpreted as coalesced alluvial fans with highly variable lithology. There is significant crossbedding and lenticular bedding, and some sandstone beds are well cemented with calcite. The formation dips 10 degrees to the west. Faulting makes an accurate estimate of its thickness uncertain, and it was originally estimated to be over  thick. However, a careful reconstruction taking into account faults gives a thickness of .

The Nambe Member is pinkish to reddish coarse-grained alluvial fan deposits resting on basement rock of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The member is named for Nambé Pueblo and has a total thickness of about . An ash bed within the member has an aged based on Ar-Ar dating of 25.52 ± 0.07 million years (Ma). Its age range is estimated to be from 25.6 to 16.1 Ma.

The Skull Ridge Member is separated from the Nambe Member by a distinctive ash bed. The member has numerous other ash beds, which result in relatively strong cementing that makes this a cliff-forming member. The upper portion is much less resistant to erosion. The member is up to  thick. Galusha and Blick did not identify the geographical location for which the member was named, and the place name "Skull Ridge" is unknown in New Mexico. An ash bed in the Skull Ridge Member has an Ar-Ar age of 15.45±0.06 Ma.

The Pojoaque Member is separated from the Skull Ridge Member by a greenish-gray conglomerate bed interpreted as lag gravel on an erosional surface. It is named for the Pojoaque Bluffs, also known as Los Barrancos, near the town of Pojoaque, New Mexico. The formation disappears into the subsurface under the Rio Grande River floodplain but is at least  thick. Its age range is estimated to be from 14.9 to 12.5 Ma.

The Chama-El Rito Member is found only in the northwestern portion of the Espanola Basin. It correlates with the Skull Ridge and Pojoaque Members, but contains conglomerate lenses with distinctive volcanic clasts (rock fragments) likely derived from the San Juan volcanic field.

The Ojo Caliente Member is  of soft eolian sandstone overlying the Chama-El Rito member. It is named for the village of Ojo Caliente. Radiometric dating of ash beds suggests the base of the member has a maximum age of 13.5 to 13.3 Ma.

The Cuarteles Member is found in the northeastern part of the Espanola Basin. It was originally defined in the Chamita Formation west of the Rio Grande, but is assigned to the Tesuque Formation east of the Rio Grande.

The Cejita Member is found in the northeastern part of the Espanola Basin, where it overlies the Cuarteles member. It is interbedded conglomerate and sandstone. It is probably similar in age to the Skull Ridge and Pojoaque Members.

In addition to the traditional lithostratigraphic units, the Tesuque Formation is divided into two lithosomes. Lithosome A is granitic material deposited by a network of westward-flowing streams off the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Lithosome B is richer in clay and Paleozoic clasts and was deposited by south- to southwest-flowing rivers coming from the Penasco area. The two can be distinguished in the field by the redder coloration of Lithosome A compared with the tan to gray color of Lithosome B.

Fossils
G.K. Gilbert visited San Ildefonso Pueblo with the Hayden Survey in 1873 and found fossil mammal bones characteristic of the Pliocene. Some of these were sent to Othniel Marsh. Marsh's bitter rival, Edward Drinker Cope, arrived at San Ildefonso the next year and collected a number of Miocene reptile, bird, and mammal fossils.

Childs Frick sent an expedition into the Tesuque area in 1924, and immediately recognized the paleontological potential of the Santa Fe beds. The Fricks Laboratory (merged with the Department of Vertebrate Paleontology of the American Museum of Natural History in 1968) carried out field work through 1972. Work prior to 1940 was careless about identifying exact source strata, though greater care was taken thereafter. Most of the fossils came from the Pojoaque Member of the Tesuque Formation and were almost entirely found within thin (0.5–3 m) maroon-red to pale green claystone to fine-grained siltstone beds of lithosome B. These are interpreted as small lacustrine deposits.

Fossils found in the Tesuque Formation include the canids Hemicyon and Carpocyon webbi, the antilocaprids Cosoryx, Merycodus, and Ramoceros, chiroptera from the Vespertilionidae and Antrozoinae, the turtles Glyptemys valentinensis and Kinosternon pojoaque, and mastodonts. The formation provides an unusually complete record of the evolution of mammals through the Miocene.

History of investigation
The beds making up the unit were originally described by Bryan and McCann in 1937 as the Middle Red member of the Santa Fe Formation.  The formation was named by Baldwin in 1956 at the same time that the Santa Fe Formation was raised to group rank. The formation is named after exposures around the town of Tesuque, New Mexico.

In 1971, Galusha and Blick removed the uppermost beds from the Tesuque Formation as the Chamita Formation and divided the Tesuque Formation into members. These were, in ascending stratigraphic order, the Skull Ridge Member, the Nambe Member, Pojoaque Member, the Chama-El Rito Member, and the Ojo Caliente Member. Manley added the Cejita Member in 1977. Koning and Aby added the Cuarteles Member in 2005.

title: Zia Formation

text:
The Zia Formation is a geologic formation in the southwestern Jemez Mountains and northwestern Santo Domingo basin. It contains vertebrate fossils that date it to early to middle Miocene in age.

Description

The Zia Formation is a very soft quartz sandstone. The type section rests on about  of laminated greenish clay beds that in turn rest on the Galisteo Formation. The upper contact is with the Cerro Conejo Formation, with the Cochiti Formation, or with Miocene volcanic rocks of the Jemez volcanic field.

The formation is divided (in ascending stratigraphic order) into the Piedra Parada Member, the Chamisa Mesa Member. and the Canada Pilares Member.

The formation is interpreted as eolian deposits derived from volcaniclastics of the Jemez volcanic field.  These were first transported south by the Jemez River, then transported by wind from the west.

Fossils
The Piera Parada Member contains fossils mostly of camels (Stenomylus, Oxydactylus, and Michenia) and rhinos (Diceratherium.) These are characteristic of the late Arikareean faunal stage, 22 to 19 million years ago.

The Chamisa Mesa Member contains four fossil quarries from which fossils have been found that are characteristic of the Hemingfordian faunal stage, 20.6 to 16.3 million years ago. These include specimens of Menoceras, Protolabis, Aepycamelus, Subparacosoryx, Promartes, Tomarctus, Cynarctoides, and Blickomylus.

History of investigation
The formation was first described by Regan in 1903, who named it the Zia Marl. T. Galusha renamed it the Zia Sand Formation and divided it into the lower Piedra Parada Member and the upper Chamisa Mesa Member. He also recognized a subtle disconformity about 120 m above its base.

In 1981, C.E. Gawne assigned a sequence of reddish beds above the Chamisa Mesa Member to the Zia Formation as the Canada Pilares Member. In 1997, R.H. Tedford and Steven Barghoorn added an additional sequence of beds above the Canada Pilares Member to the Zia Formation as the Cerro Conejo Member. However, two years later, they recommended moving this member into its own formation.

title: Beech Street (London)

text:
Beech Street is a street in the City of London, England.  It was formerly known as Beech Lane and was named after Nicholas de la Beche, a lieutenant of the Tower of London in the reign of Edward III in the 14th century.

It runs west–east, from its junction with Aldersgate Street and Long Lane in the west, to the junction with Whitecross Street, Silk Street and Chiswell Street in the east. The eastern junction marks the boundary of the city with Islington: Whitecross and Chiswell (north and east) are in Islington, while Beech and Silk (west and south) are in the city.

The majority of the street is in a pseudo-tunnel under the Barbican estate.

On 18 March 2020 the street became the UK's first "zero emission street", only allowing access to pedestrians, cyclists, and zero emission vehicles. This remained in effect until September 2021, and in December that year members of the City of London corporation voted for a public consultation into making the scheme permanent.

Access to several of the Barbican car parks is from Beech Street.

title: Baca Formation

text:
The Baca Formation is a geologic formation in southern New Mexico and Arizona. It preserves fossils dating back to the Eocene period.

Description
The formation consists of coarse conglomerate, red and white sandstone, and red clay. Its total thickness is , of which  is conglomerate.  The formation rests unconformably on the Cretaceous Mesaverde Group and is overlain by the Oligocene Spears Formation.

The formation was deposited in a basin that developed in Eocene time in eastern Arizona and west-central New Mexico. The basin was mostly a system of braided streams subject to frequent flash floods, with meandering streams restricted to the easternmost part of the basin. Paleocurrent directions showed that stream flow was generally to the east-northeast. Shallow floodplain lakes and a large, shallow closed lake in the eastern part of the basin were also present, though lacustrine beds are nearly absent due to extensive river delta formation. Deposition ended with the eruption of the Mogollon-Datil volcanic field, which disrupted the Baca drainage and buried the basin in volcaniclastic rock.

Fossils
The formation is relatively poor in vertebrate fossils, and only six of biostratigraphic significance have been found. These are the titanotheres Paleosyops and Manteoceras, an artiodactyl fossil trackway and Protoreodon fossil, and a small mammalian fauna at Mariano Mesa. The titanotheres are characteristic of the Bridgerian age while the trackways indicate a late Eocene age or younger.

History of investigation
The formation was first described by R.H. Wilpolt and his coinvestigators in 1946 and named for exposures in Baca Canyon in the Bear Mountains.

title: Cub Mountain Formation

text:
The Cub Mountain Formation is a geologic formation in southern New Mexico. It preserves fossils dating back to the Eocene epoch. The formation also records the progressive unroofing of nearby mountainous uplifts during the Laramide orogeny.

Description
The formation consists of interbedded gray to red sandstone and mudstone with minor conglomerate with a total thickness of . This is the greatest exposed interval of Eocene basin sediments found in New Mexico. Sandstone dominates the lower part of the formation, but the fraction of mudstone increases further up in the formation. The formation disconformably rests on the Crevasse Canyon Formation of the Mesaverde Group and conformably underlies the Sanders Canyon Formation. In the vicinity of Sierra Blanca, the formation is intruded by dikes with K-Ar ages of 47.7 +/-2.9 Ma (million years ago).

The formation is interpreted as deposited in a braided stream environment. The lowermost beds contain pebbles similar to those of the underlying Crevasse Canyon Formation, suggesting these beds include reworked sediments from the underlying formation. The composition of the upper beds records progressive unroofing of nearby mountainous uplifts during the Laramide orogeny, with decreasing amounts of sandstone fragments and increasing amounts of basement rock fragments.

Fossils
Fossil turtles have been found towards the base of the formation. These are characteristic of the Wasatchian-Bridgerian boundary at about 50 Ma.

History of investigation
The first definition of the formation was credited to H.R. Weber in a publication by M.W. Bodine, Jr., in 1956, but Weber did not publish a type section until 1964. The formation is named after an isolated peak in southern New Mexico.

Kenneth Segerstrom and his coinvestigators argued in 1979 that the beds of the Cub Mountain Formation properly belong to the Cretaceous McRae Formation. Spencer G. Lucas and his coinvestigators disagreed on the basis of fossil evidence, placing the formation in the Eocene. Steven M. Cather removed the uppermost fine-grained volcaniclastic beds in the formation as originally defined into their own formation, the Sanders Canyon Formation, in 1991.

title: Galisteo Formation

text:
The Galisteo Formation is a geologic formation in New Mexico. It contains fossils characteristic of the Bartonian stage of the Eocene epoch, Duchesnean in the NALMA classification.

Description

The Galisteo Formation is primarily fluvial sandstone and mudstone, with small amounts of conglomerate, freshwater limestone, and sedimentary tuff. It crops out over a limited area between Sandia Crest and the southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains, with an outlier at the eastern feet of the San Miguel subrange of the Jemez Mountains. Its contact with the overlying Espinaso Formation is gradational. The formation rests on the Diamond Tail Formation in most locations where its base is exposed, but the Diamond Tail is not present in the exposures south of San Ysidro. The presence of Precambrian and Paleozoic clasts at the base of the Galisteo Formation suggests that the discontinuity separating it from the Diamond Tail is tectonic in origin. There are indications the formation itself experienced penecontemporaneous deformation, possibly due to renewed uplift of the southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The maximum thickness of the formation is .

Paleocurrent directions indicate the sources of the sediments deposited in the formation came from the Brazos-Sangre de Cristo Geanticline to the northeast and the Nacimiento Mountains to the northwest. There are no indications of sediments from Sandia Crest to the south, suggesting that Sandia Crest was not uplifted until after the Eocene. The presence of Precambrian clasts in the upper part of the formation in the San Miguel Mountains was some of the first evidence for the existence of the Pajarito Uplift, a Laramide structure occupying what is now the southern Espanola Basin between the current locations of Los Alamos and Santa Fe that later foundered into the Rio Grande Rift.

The Galisteo Formation likely correlates with the El Rito Formation to the north of the Jemez Mountains. It may also correlate with the Tapicito Member of the San Jose Formation.

Paleontology
The most important fossil site in the Galisteo Formation, the Stearns quarry at Arroyo del Tuerto, contains numerous fossil remains of titanotheres dating to the Duchesnean Stage, about 42 to 38 million years ago. Petrified wood is also found in this area. The formation is otherwise largely barren of fossils.

Fossil content
The following fossils have been reported from the formation:

Mammals
Carnivora
 Angelarctocyon cf. australis
Glires
 Paramyidae indet.
Pantodonta
 Coryphodon sp.
Perissodactyls

 cf. Homogalax protapirinus
 Brontotheriidae indet.
 Equidae indet.

Placentalia
 Hyopsodus powellianus
Primates
 Microsyopidae indet.
Theriiformes
 Ectoganus sp.

History of investigation

The formation was first described by F.V. Hayden during the 1869 expedition to New Mexico and Colorado. He named the formation the Galisteo sand group and noted that its sandstone beds dipped from 5 to 50 degrees and varied in color from off-white to brick red. He could find no fossils other than petrified logs, some of which were enormous.

The formation originally included older beds separated from the rest of the formation by a significant disconformity. These were split off into the Diamond Tail Formation in 1997.

title: Hart Mine Formation

text:
The Hart Mine Formation is a geologic formation controversially defined from exposures in south-central New Mexico. It preserves fossils dating back to the Eocene epoch.

Description
The formation is mostly calcareous reddish-brown siltstone, which makes up 72% of the type section. The remainder is mostly conglomerate with only minor silty mudstone. The conglomerate is primarily Paleozoic limestone with lesser amounts of granite. Total thickness is estimated at . The formation lies disconformably on Crevasse Canyon Formation and grades above into the Spears Formation.

The formation provides evidence for a pulse of Laramide deformation in New Mexico 50 million years ago.

The formation contains fossils of turtles, the lizard Glyptosaurus, the brontothere Telmatherium manteoceras, the rodent Reithroparamys huerfanensis, the insectivore Leptotomus parvus, the equid Orohippus pumilis, and the primate Notharctus tenebrosus, pointing to a Bridgerian age for the formation.

History of investigation
The formation was first defined by Spencer G. Lucas and Thomas E. Williamson in 1993 and named for the Hart Mine, an abandoned coal mine. The beds were formerly assigned to the Baca Formation but show differences in lithology and appear to have been deposited in a different sedimentary basin. However, the reassignment was disputed by Cather and collaborators, who argued that the lithological distinction is not great and the basin reconstruction was still speculative. Lucas responded in turn that the Hart Mine Formation has more abundant conglomerate than the Baca Formation and argued that this makes it lithologically distinct. However, the reassignment continues to be controversial.

title: Palm Park Formation

text:
The Palm Park Formation is a geologic formation in southern New Mexico. It preserves fossils dating back to the Eocene epoch.

Description
The formation consists of reddish clastic sediments, including some beds of boulder conglomerate with individual boulders up to  in diameter. The red color is attributed to a source in the Abo Formation. The upper beds contains considerable latite to andesite breccia interbedded with tuffaceous claystone and siltstone. The Palm Park Formation rests gradationally on the Love Ranch Formation, is unconformably overlain by the Bell Top Formation, Rincon Valley Formation, or Santa Fe Group, and has a thickness of about .

The original age estimate, based on radiometric ages of intrusions and interbedded flows, ranged from 42 to 51 million years. More recent high-precision U-Pb dating gives an age of 45.0±0.7 Ma for an ash fall tuff in the lower part of the formation in the Robledo Mountains and an age of 39.6±0.5 Ma for an ash fall tuff in the upper part of the formation in the Sierra de las Uvas. The interbedded ash fall tuffs and volcaniclastic beds of the formation are interpreted as volcanic activity after the end of Laramide mountain building but before the opening of the Rio Grande Rift. At this time, the remnants of the Farallon Plate began to sink into the deep mantle and hot mantle rock rose to take their place, triggering the Mid-Tertiary ignimbrite flare-up.

Fossils
The Palm Park Formation contains hot-water stromatolites. Stable oxygen isotope measurements show that the fine layers (laminae) making up the stromatolites were deposited seasonally, with the sparry (coarsely crystalline) layers deposited in the spring and summer, and the micritic (fine-grained) layers deposited in the fall and winter. This suggests that laminae in more ancient stromatolites are also seasonal in nature.

The formation also contains Eocene fossil vertebrates of Chadronian age. These are found in deeply weathered volcaniclastic beds of the middle and upper part of the formation that are interbedded with plant- and gastropod-bearing travertines, and most are also badly weathered. However, they include shell fragments of the tortoise Stylemys, jaw fragments of Hyaenodon horriblis, tooth fragments likely of Hyracodon, and a partial skeleton of a protoceratid.

Economic geology
Barite-galena-manganese deposits are present in the Palm Park Formation in the Rincon basin. These had produced 10,520 tons of barite and 1529 tons of 27%-40% manganese ore by 1998. The formation also contains gypsum and travertine, but not in economic amounts for the 1998 market.

History of investigation
The formation was first named by V.C. Kelley and Caswell Silver in 1952 for exposures in Palm Park, southeast of Caballo. Because no complete section exists, a type locality was designated instead of a type section. Steven M. Cather and his coinvestigators assigned the Palm Park Formation to the Spears Group in 1994.

title: Rubio Peak Formation

text:
The Rubio Peak Formation is a geologic formation located in southwestern New Mexico. It is thought to have been deposited in the Eocene Epoch.

Description
The formation is volcanic, consisting mostly of flows of amphibole latites to pyroxene andesites and associated volcaniclastics and tuffs. The flows have a silica content of 59-63%. The appearance is highly variable, from pinkish gray to red to brown to black, with large to small phenocrysts and with glassy to fully crystalline texture. However, the chemical composition is reasonably uniform across the formation. The maximum thickness is as much as . It lies on older Tertiary intrusive rocks and is overlain and interfingers with the Sugarlump Tuff.

Oxygen isotope ratios suggest that the magma from which the formation solidified had its origin in the Earth's mantle and underwent a degree of fractional crystallization.

The formation has not been directly dated. However, the overlying Sugarlump Tuff has been radiometrically dated as 35.17±0.12 million years old, so the Rubio Peak Formation cannot be younger than this nor older than the Tertiary rocks on which it was deposited. This suggests an Eocene age for the formation.

Fossils
The formation contains Duchesnean and early Chadronian mammal fossils. These included a jaw of the brontothere Duchesneodus.

History of investigation
The formation first appears informally in a chart prepared by R.M. Hernon and coinvestigators in 1953, but was apparently first used in an unpublished paper by W.E. Elston that same year. C.H. Dane and G.O. Bachman (1961) mapped the formation throughout southwestern New Mexico and extended the definition to include some flows that appeared to be of Cretaceous age, but subsequent work has restricted the definition to flows near the type area and of Eocene to Olicocene age. The formation was assigned to the Spears Group by Steven M. Cather and coinvestigators in 1994, who excluded the volcanic units and restricted the formation to the associated volcaniclastics.

title: San Jose Formation

text:
The San Jose Formation is an Early Eocene (Wasatchian in the NALMA classification) geologic formation in the San Juan Basin of New Mexico and Colorado.

Description

The San Jose Formation is mostly sandstone but with some mudstone beds. The formation was deposited by high-energy streams on a muddy floodplain that was the last preserved sedimentation episode in the San Juan Basin. Stream direction was from the northwest, north, and east towards the south.

The basal Cuba Mesa Member is found throughout the depositional basin and is a coarse-grained sheet sandstone. The Regina Member is floodplain mudstone and disconnected sheet sandstone that intertongues with the sandstone-dominated Ditch Canyon Member in the northwestern part of the basin and the Llaves Member on the east side of the basin. The uppermost member is the siltstone-dominated Tapicitos Member. The Cuba Mesa Member was deposited during subsidence in the basin center, while the later members were deposited during episodes of monoclinal folding along the Nacimiento Fault on the west escarpment of the Nacimiento Mountains.

Paleontology
The mudstone beds of the San Jose Formation are locally rich in fossils. These include the  Almagre and Largo faunas of the early Eocene.

History of investigation
In late 1874, Edward Drinker Cope was a member of the Wheeler Survey but ignored orders from Wheeler to proceed north from the Chama River to Colorado. Instead, he headed south to explore the area north of the San Pedro Mountains, where fossils had been reported. He found early Eocene fossils in the badlands north of Regina, New Mexico and spent about seven weeks collecting fishes, reptiles, and what was then the oldest known mammal fossils in North America. He also collected the fossil of a giant flightless bird. Cope later wrote his father that this was "the most important find in geology I have ever made".

In 1948, G.G. Simpson visited the same area and assigned the fossil beds to the San Jose Formation. In 1967, the formation was divided (in ascending order) into the Cuba Mesa Member, Regina Member, Llaves Member, and Tapicitos Member.

title: Edward Kellog Strong Jr.

text:
Edward Kellog Strong Jr. (August 18, 1884 – December 4, 1963) was a professor of Applied Psychology at Stanford University, who specialized in organizational psychology and career theory and development. Edward Strong's contributions to the field of vocational counseling and research are still evident today. He is most well known for the Strong Interest Inventory, an inventory which matches an individual with a career based on their interests and perceived abilities. He also published several books related to vocational interests and guidance, including Vocational Interests of Men and Women.

Biography

Early life
Edward Strong was born in August 1884 in Syracuse, New York. He was born into a religious family as his father worked in ministry. He graduated from the University of California with a biology degree in 1906. He briefly worked in the United States Forestry Service (from approximately 1906–1909). His job tasks included constructing bridges and landscaping, which lead to a passion for being outdoors. After his work in forestry, he returned to school to complete a master's degree in psychology in 1909. Strong initially planned to teach in China, but due to difficulties obtaining clearance from the government, he decided to pursue a Ph.D. in psychology at Columbia University. At Columbia University, he worked with Dr. James McKeen Cattell and assisted in the psychology laboratory of Dr. Harry Levi Hollingworth, where he met his wife, Margaret Hart. Edward Strong focused his doctoral research and dissertation on the benefits of commercial advertising. His research in advertising eventually led to several research publications and a published book, The Psychology of Selling and Advertisement. He completed his Ph.D. program at Columbia University and married his wife in 1911.

Career
Strong started his career by working at an advertising firm where he remained for approximately three years. In 1914, Edward Strong began teaching at George Peabody College for Teachers (now part of Vanderbilt University) where he wrote a psychologist professor's guide called Introductory Psychology for Teachers. He left his teaching position and joined the Committee on Classification of Personnel in the Army during World War I in 1917. While in the Army, Edward Strong worked in personnel selection and was responsible for matching army service members to positions within the military according to their interests and aptitude. He also used the Army Alpha and Army Beta tests and instructed military personnel in the use of these instruments.

After his military service, Edward Strong briefly became a researcher at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, where he began studying career theory and industrial/organizational psychology principles. He served as the President of the Southern Society for Philosophy and Psychology from 1918 to 1920. He trained life insurance salespeople and wrote the book The Psychology of Selling Life Insurance.  In 1923, he became a full-time faculty member at Stanford University, where he remained for the rest of his career. During his academic career, he chaired approximately 58 dissertation, contributed 46 journal articles, and wrote 6 books. The most well-known of his contributions included: his first edition of the Strong Interest Inventory in 1927, followed by another revised edition in 1938; Vocational Interests in Men and Women in 1943; and Vocational Interests Eighteen Years After College, in 1955.

Death and legacy
Strong died in Menlo Park, California on December 4, 1963. He received countless acknowledgements for his contributions to the field of psychology and vocational guidance and measurement. John Darley (1964) noted that "it is impossible to estimate how many thousands of young people have been helped in crucial career choices by the use of the Strong Vocational Interest Inventory." Edward Strong's contributions to the field of psychology are still very relevant, as the Strong Interest Inventory continues to be used, over 60 years after its original development.

Research contributions

Research in vocational interests
Strong believed that significant differences existed between sexes with regard to career interests. This led to the development of separate male and female forms of his career inventories. Strong theorized that career interests were relatively permanent and stable across the lifetime. He conducted longitudinal research that measured vocational interests across periods ranging from 1 to 22 years, and found high test-retest reliability on a vocational interest scale which supported his theory of stable interests across time. Strong believed that it was possible to predict career fit with his interest inventory at a rate that is better than chance, although he acknowledged that a score on a vocational interest inventory has limitations and needs to be taken into consideration with various other factors. Strong believed in the importance of vocational guidance, and stated this guidance is needed throughout the lifespan, as opposed to the traditional implementation of career counseling only during high school. In his book Vocational Interests 18 Years After College, he stated:
"The need for guidance is similar to the need of a dentist. Only once in a while is guidance desired, but then it should be provided. And the need is not restricted to youth- it occurs all through life. Adults, as well as boys and girls, have serious problems."

Strong Interest Inventory
Edward Strong first published research in vocational interest measurement in 1926. Strong hypothesized that an interest inventory can predict a person's entry into an occupation at a better rate than chance. Eventually this led to the creation of the Strong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB) in 1927, followed by a form for women in 1933. He eventually developed the Strong Interest Inventory, which has been reviewed and modified since his death, but is still in use today.

Cross cultural research
Strong believed that cultural sensitivity and awareness is important in studying vocational interests. Strong conducted a study that investigated the vocational interests in an African-American sample compared to a Caucasian sample. The results of the study found relatively few differences between the samples and concluded that the study demonstrated evidence for validity of the measures in the study with African-American samples. Strong also hypothesized that vocational interests are similar across cultures. More recent research has confirmed Strong's original theories and findings that vocational interests are similar across cultures.

Theories on ability, interest, and achievement
Strong theorized that abilities, interests, and achievements all reciprocally worked together to influence vocational development. He used an analogy in his book, Vocational Interests of Men and Women to explain this relationship: "The relationship among abilities, interests, and achievements may be likened to a motor boat with a motor and a rudder. The motor (abilities) determines how fast the boat can go, the rudder (interests) determines which way the boat goes."Bibliography

title: Abo Formation

text:
The Abo Formation is a geologic formation in New Mexico. It contains fossils characteristic of the Cisuralian epoch of the Permian period.

Description
The Abo Formation consists of fluvial redbed mudstones and sandstones, including river channel deposits in its lower beds (Scholle Member) and distinctive sandstone sheets in its upper beds (Cañon de Espinoso Member.) Its depositional environment was typical of the "wet red beds" of tropical Pangaea. It is extensively exposed in the mountains and other uplifts bordering the Rio Grande Rift, with a thickness of  at the type section. It is also present in the subsurface in the Raton Basin.

The base of the Abo is gradational with the Madera Group, and is usually placed at the first massive marine limestone bed below the fluvial sediments of the Abo. It is overlain by the Yeso Formation, with the base of the Yeso placed at the first massive sandstone bed showing frosted grains and other eolian features. The transition zone between the Madera Group and the Abo Formation is distinctive enough in many locations that it is broken out into its own formation, the Bursum Formation.

Sandstone in the exposures towards the north, at Abo Pass and in the Jemez Mountains, tends to be arkosic, with detrital feldspars dominated by potassium feldspar including microcline. The feldspar is locally albitized, possibly by brines in evaporite basins or due to high heat flow in the crust. Granitic rock fragments are much more common than metamorphic. Cementing is usually by calcite, but quartz cementing is often present. Carbonate grains are likely reworked caliche. The formation fines to the south. The composition and southward fining indicate a granitic source to the north.

The Abo Formation was deposited in a time of rapid global warming. Carbon and oxygen isotope ratios in caliches within the formation indicate a rise in temperature from 15-30°C during the eighteen million years in which the formation was deposited. This was accompanied by increased aridity. Deposition took place on a low-gradient, broad, well-oxidized alluvial plain in
which rivers flowed to the Hueco seaway in southern New Mexico. There are indications in the strata of strong seasonality typical of the megamonsoonal climate of early Permian Pangaea.

The Abo transitions seamlessly to the Cutler Formation in the northern Jemez Mountains. With both names deeply entrenched in the geological literature, the convention is to use the name "Cutler Formation" north of 36 degrees north latitude and "Abo Formation" south of that latitude.

Paleontological data and regional correlations suggest that the age of the Abo Formation is middle Wolfcampian to early Leonardian.

Members
The Abo Formation is divided into the lower Scholle Member and the upper Cañon de Espinoso Member.

The Scholle Member is dominated by mudstone (87% of the type section), with some trough-crossbedded, coarse-grained, conglomeratic sandstones (11% of the type section) interpreted as channel deposits. The remaining 2% is calcrete ledges. The member is  thick at the type section and is a slope-forming member. It reflect relatively rapid tectonic subsidence.

The Cañon de Espinoso Member is  thick at the type section, of which 70% is mudstone, 21% is thin ledges of laminated climbing-rippled sandstone, and 9% is siltstone beds. The sandstones form distinctive sheet-like bodies. This member was deposited as tectonic subsidence slowed, with an episodically stable base level.

Fossils
The formation is notable for its trace fossils, which include rhizoliths, arthropod feeding and locomotion traces, and tetrapod trackways. A tracksite has been identified at Abo Pass which is dominated by Amphisauropus tracks, but also shows tracks of Dromopus, Dimetropus, Batrachichnus, Hyloidichnus, Gilmoreichnus, and Varanopus. Tracks are also found in the Lucero uplift in the Cañon de Espinoso Member that include Amphisauropus, Ichniotherium, Hyloidichnus, and Dromopus.

The formation has also produced plant, bivalve, conchostracan and vertebrate fossils in locations such as the Spanish Queen mine near Jemez Springs, which date it to the Wolfcampian (lower Permian  period). Plant fossils found in the Abo Formation are mostly conifers and show two distinct paleofloras. The first, associated with red siltstone, are of low diversity and are dominated either by conifers or the peltasterm Supaia. The second paleoflora is characteristic of green shale and siltstone and is more diverse, with a variety of wetland plants, though still dominated by conifers.

One green shale site in the Caballo Mountains, interpreted as an estuarine facies of the Abo Formation, contains gastropods and diverse bivalves, including euryhaline pectins and myalinids. The Scholle Member yields most of the vertebrate fossils of the Abo Formation, typically a pelycosaur-dominated assemblage that includes lungfishes, palaeoniscoids, temnospondyl and lepospondyl amphibians, and diadectomorphs.

A bed of the formation northeast of Soccoro has the rare pseudofossil Astropolithon. This is not actually a product of living organisms, but is an unusual sedimentary structure formed by outgassing from sediments bound together by microbial mats.

Economic geology
The Abo Formation was mined for copper at the Spanish Queen Mine in the Jemez Springs area. The ore was discovered in 1575, but production had ceased by 1940. Copper was also mined in the Scholle district, particularly from the Abo and Copper Girl mines, beginning likely in the Spanish era, ca. 1629. Modern prospectors rediscovered the deposits in 1902 and mining from 1915 to 1961 produced about a quarter million dollars of copper and other metals. Remaining copper deposits in the Abo are uneconomical to mine at 2015 prices. Copper deposits in the Abo are characterized as stratabound sedimentary-copper deposit, largely taking the form of copper oxides, chalcopyrite, and chalcocite. They were likely produced when oxidizing waters enriched in chloride and carbonate from Paleozoic beds leached copper from Proterozoic source rock, then precipitated the copper in more reduced aquifers containing hydrogen sulfide.

Carbon dioxide was produced from subsurface Abo Formation beds in the Des Moines, New Mexico field from 1952 to 1966. Isotope studies suggest the carbon dioxide originated in the earth's mantle and the Abo Formation is merely a reservoir rock.

History of investigation
The formation was first designated as the Abo sandstone of the Manzano Group by W.T. Lee and G.H Girty in 1909, who named it for Abo Canyon in the southern Manzano Mountains. In 1943, C.E. Needham and R.L. Bates defined a type section that excluded the basal marine limestone beds, and, finding that the unit was more shale than sandstone, redesignated it the Abo Formation.

In 1946, R.H. Wiltpolt and coinvestigators removed the upper eolian sandstone beds from the Abo Formation, reassigning them to the Meseta Blanca sandstone member of the Yeso Formation.

In 2005, Spencer G. Lucas and coinvestigators divided the Abo into two members, the lower Scholle Member and the upper Cañon de Espinoso Member.

title: Fann Street

text:
Fann Street is a street in the City of London, England.

It runs west–east, from its junction with Aldersgate Street and Goswell Road in the west, to the junction with Golden Lane in the east.

In its original form of Fann's Alley the street was almost certainly named after a former owner or builder in the seventeenth century, and a likely candidate is Stephen Fann, carpenter, whose 1613 will states that he had property in the Precinct of 'Goswelstrete'. Despite the claim made by the plaque placed by the Worshipful Company of Fan Makers on the Jewin Chapel in this street, the name has no connection with the making of fans.

In 1802, Robert Thorne moved his type foundry to a former brewery in Fann Street, and renamed it the Fann Street Foundry. On his death in 1820, the business was bought by William Thorowgood. Thorowgood created the typeface Grotesque. In 1838, the typographer Robert Besley, the creator of Clarendon the first patented typeface in 1845,  joined the Fann Street Foundry.

The former YMCA Building at 2 Fann Street has been renamed Blake Tower and has been redeveloped to create 72 luxury apartments.

A history of the street and its former inhabitants has been provided by Anthony Camp in On the City's edge: a history of Fann Street, London (2016, ).

title: Laborcita Formation

text:
The Laborcita Formation is a geologic formation in the Sacramento Mountains of New Mexico. It preserves fossils dating back to the late Pennsylvanian to early Permian.

Description
The formation is composed mostly of marine beds consisting of alternating cycles of limestone and siliciclastic sedimentary beds with a thickness of about  at the type section. It is exposed only in a small area of the northernmost Sacramento Mountains, and transitions to mostly continental red mudstones some  thick before abruptly pinching out to the southeast. The formation lies on the Holder Formation and is overlain by the Abo Formation.

The formation is interpreted as cyclic sequences of terrestrial and shallow marine carbonate rocks deposited on a narrow shelf lying between the Pedernal Uplift to the east and the Orogrande Basin to the west. Cycles are generally transgressive (recording the advance of the sea), with basal conglomerate giving way to increasingly fine sandstone, siltstone, and shale and finally limestone. Corresponding regressive sequences (recording the retreat of the sea) are very poorly developed.

Fossils
The limestone beds of the formation are highly fossiliferous, containing bioclastic remains from all the main late Paleozoic shallow marine biotic groups. Fusulinids are present that are characteristic of the latest Pennsylvanian and earliest Permian. The uppermost beds contain algal bioherms  thick. Microfossils of the formation include the cyanobacteria such as Girvanella,  calcivertellid foraminiferans, and phylloid (leaflike) algae such as Eugonophyllum.

History of investigation
The formation was first named by Otté in 1959 as part of his dissertation at the University of New Mexico.

title: Manzano Group

text:
The Manzano Group is a group of geologic formations in central New Mexico. These have radiometric ages of 1601 to 1662 million years (Ma), corresponding to the late Statherian period of the Paleoproterozoic.

The name Manzano Group was previously applied to a group of sedimentary formations of Permian age in roughly the same geographical area. The original Manzano Group was historically important in the establishment of the paleontological time scale of the Permian period in western North America. However, the name was abandoned after 1920.

Description
The group consists of Statherian lithostratigraphic units exposed in the Los Pinos Mountains and nearby ranges of central New Mexico. These are mostly metarhyolite or quartzite units with some schist and amphibolite, and form a sequence in excess of  thick. The group records deformation attributed to the Mazatzal orogeny, and the quartzites of the group may be the provenance of the lower conglomerates of the Marquenas Formation to the north, which was previously problematic. Study of the group also provides evidence in favor of the hypothesis that the Mazatzal Province was formed by continental arc volcanism from Yavapai crust. The group was subsequently severely folded and intruded by magma bodies during the Picuris orogeny.

Stratigraphy
The group is best exposed in an overturned syncline in the Los Pinos Mountains. Here the stratigraphy is:

Blue Springs Formation (youngest)
Sais Quartzite
Estadio Schist
White Ridge Quartzite
Abajo Formation
Sevilleta Metarhyolite
Bootleg Canyon Sequence
Tijeras Greenstone

The Estadio Schist is a garnet + staurolite + biotite schist, described as a marker bed separating the Sais Quartzite from the White Ridge Quartzite.

History of investigation
The Manzano Series was first named by Herrick in 1900. Herrick correctly placed the Carboniferous - Permian boundary just below the base of this unit and identified Permian fossils in overlying beds, but could find no fossils within the series itself. Gordon assigned the underlying beds to the (now-abandoned) Magdalena Group and added the overlying limestone beds now assigned to the San Andres Formation, and placed the Manzano Group in the upper Carboniferous based on fossils reported by Lee and Girty. The name continued in use at least as late as 1920, when Boese concluded from ammonite fossils that the Abo Formation was Uralian (Cisuralian?) in age. This placed the fossils in the upper Pennsylvanian as defined in western North America at that time, and Boese recommended abandonment, or at least heavy revision, of the Manzano Group.

The modern units corresponding to the original Manzano Group are (in ascending stratigraphic order) the Bursum Formation, Abo Formation, Yeso Formation, Glorieta Sandstone, and San Andres Formation. The Yeso Formation has itself been promoted to group rank, though this has not been universally accepted.

The name Manzano Group was revived in 2006 to refer to latest Statherian formations in the Manzano Mountains, a usage that has since become more widely adopted.

title: Seven Rivers Formation

text:
The Seven Rivers Formation is a geologic formation in southeastern New Mexico and west Texas. It preserves fossils dating back to the late Guadalupian Epoch of the Permian period.

Description
The formation consists of  of anhydrite, with interbeds of shale, dolomite, siltstone, and sandstone. It rests on the Queen Formation and is overlain by the Yates Formation. The Seven Rivers Formation is part of the Artesia Group, which is interpreted as a sequence of shelf rocks of the Capitan reef.

History of investigation
The unit was first named as the Seven Rivers Member of the (now abandoned) Chupadera Formation by Oscar Edward Meinzer and coinvestigators in 1927. In 1937, W.B. Lang assigned the Seven Rivers Member to the (now abandoned) Chalk Bluff Formation and removed its upper beds to the Three Twins Member. The unit was promoted to formation rank and assigned to the Whitehorse Group by Ronald K. DeFord and E. Russel Lloyd in 1940. Norman D. Newell and coinvestigators assigned the formation to the (now abandoned) Carlsbad Group in 1953, and it was assigned to the Artesia Group by D.B. Tait and coinvestigators in 1962.

title: Mike Gilligan

text:
Mike Gilligan is a retired American ice hockey coach. He was the head coach at Vermont from 1983 through 2003 and later became an assistant with the UVM women's team for seven more seasons before retiring in 2014.

Career

Playing
Mike Gilligan started as a defenseman for Salem State for three seasons, serving as captain and earning All-American honors in the final two before moving onto a brief minor league career in the early 1970s.

Coaching
Gilligan returned to Salem State in 1975 to serve as head coach for his alma mater. Playing in ECAC Hockey's now defunct Division II league, Salem State became a powerhouse under Gilligan, winning at least 20 games in each of his six seasons behind the bench. Their best finish came in 1979 when they finished 4th in the NCAA Division II Men's Ice Hockey Championship. After the 1980-81 campaign Gilligan accepted an offer to serve as Tim Taylor's assistant at Yale. Two years later Taylor took a hiatus from the University to serve as an assistant for Team USA at the 1984 Winter Olympics, leaving the Bulldogs in the hands of Gilligan for the 1983–84 season. Gilligan acquitted himself by getting Yale to a 12-13-1 record and after the conclusion of the season was chosen to replace Jim Cross at Vermont

Gilligan's first season with the Catamounts was a disappointing, finishing with an 8-21-0 record, but by the end of his second season he had gotten them back on track, winning 17 games. over the next 12 seasons Vermont would post winning records 10 times and made their first NCAA tournament berth in 1988. Gillian's best season came in 1995–96 when he won Vermont's it's only Regular Season Championship with a 27-win season and saw the Catamounts make the Frozen Four for the first time, finishing 3rd in the 1996 tournament behind the strong play of future NHLers Martin St. Louis and Tim Thomas.

In the 1999–00 season both Gilligan and Vermont were tarnished as a result of a hazing scandal that caused the University to cancel its season after only seventeen games and while it did not lead to Gilligan's dismissal he would never again field a winning team, resigning from his post after the 2002–03 season, one win shy of the school record.

In addition to coaching hockey at the University of Vermont, Gilligan served as the head coach of the catamount golf team from 1993 through 2009.

Women's Teams
After leaving Vermont Gilligan became an assistant for the US Women's National Team for over two years, helping the team to win gold at the 2005 IIHF Women's World Championship and bronze at Torino the following year. Gilligan returned to Vermont in the fall of 2006 as an assistant for the women's team and remained in that position until his retirement in 2014.

Honors
Gilligan was inducted into the Salem State Athletic Hall of Fame in 1986 and was co-ECAC Hockey Coach of the Year with Bill Cleary two years later. After retiring as head coach Gilligan was named the 2005 recipient of the John MacInnes Award, the 2008 recipient of the Parker-York Award and was inducted into the Massachusetts Hockey hall of Fame in 2010

Head coaching record

* Vermont canceled the 1999-2000 season after only 17 games due to a hazing scandal.

title: Yeso Group

text:
The Yeso Group is a group  of geologic formations in New Mexico. It contains fossils characteristic of the Kungurian Age of the early Permian Period.

Description

The Yeso Group is lithologically complex, ranging from marine shelf carbonate rock to the south through shoreline and sabkha beds to eolian dune and sheet sand deposits to the north. It is exposed in the mountains and other uplifts bordering the Rio Grande Rift and in the Pecos River valley. It is present in the subsurface in the Raton Basin. The group records a major marine transgression from the south during the early Leonardian (Kungurian).

In the Jemez Mountains, the group consists of massive cross-bedded lower beds (De Chelly Sandstone) and thinner upper beds (San Ysidro Formation) suggesting a more fluvial depositional environment. The Yeso Group is exposed extensively in the Jemez Mountains, but pinches out in the northern Jemez, delineating the northern limit of the dune field from which it arose.

Farther south, the group is divided into the Arroyo de Alamillo and Los Vallos Formations. It transitions from continental to shallow marine in character from north to south, with the lithology changing from eolian and sand sheet deposits in the north to sabkha deposits of gypsum and carbonate rock to the south. Thus the Arroyo de Alamillo Formation is siltstone, ripple-laminated sandstone, and lesser dolomitic limestone, in contrast with the eolian beds of the De Chelly Formation, and the Los Vallos Formation is 42% sandstone, 28% siltstone, and 24% gypsum, in contrast with the thinly bedded sandstone of the San Ysidro Formation.

The Los Vallos Formation is divided into the Torres, Cañas and Joyita Members. At Abo Pass in central New Mexico, the Torres is  of gypsiferous siliclastic sedimentary rock and gypsum with minor dolomite; the Cañas is  of mostly gypsum; and the Joyita Member is  of redbed sandstone.

The group is conformable with both the underlying Abo Formation and the overlying Glorieta Sandstone.

Fossil content
The Yeso Group is largely devoid of fossils. However, continued field work has gradually built up a record of marine microfossils, mostly algae and
foraminiferans, trace fossils (including tetrapod footprints), and terrestrial plant fossils. In 2018, a mold of an incomplete, articulated skeleton of a eupelycosaur was discovered in lower Yeso strata. The microfossils date the Yeso Group to the Kungurian.

Tetrapod trackways have been found in the De Chelly Sandstone in the Lucero uplift. These are too poorly preserved for precise classification.

Economic geology

Carbon dioxide was produced from subsurface Yeso beds in the Bueyeros, New Mexico field. Production was limited from 1931 to 1980, but increased demand for carbon dioxide for enhanced oil recovery led to construction of pipelines to the Permian Basin. Production totaled 3.3 trillion ft3 by 2018, with an estimated 5 to 10 trillion ft3 still recoverable. Isotope studies suggest the carbon dioxide originated in the earth's mantle and the Yeso Group is merely a reservoir rock. Carbon dioxide accumulates in the Tubb Sandstone Member (sometimes also known as the Drinkard Sandstone) and is capped by the Cimarron Anhydrite Member.

History of investigation
The unit was designated as the Yeso Formation of the (now-abandoned) Manzano Group by W.T. Lee in 1909 for Mesa del Yeso, a small mesa 12 miles northeast of Socorro, New Mexico. Darton redesignated it as a member of the Chupadera Formation in 1922, but Needham and Bates returned it to its original designation as a formation within the Manzano Group in 1943. Needham and Bates also removed the Glorieta Sandstone from the formation.

Kelley and Wood divided the formation into members in 1946, including the lowermost Mesita Blanca Member. Baars pointed out in 1962 that the Meseta Blanca Member is indistinguishable from the De Chelly Sandstone, but this redesignation was not widely accepted until the stratigraphic revisions of Lucas et al. in 2005, which also raised the formation to group rank. The promotion of the Yeso Formation to group rank and the abandonment of the Meseta Blanca Member remains controversial.

title: Trish King

text:
Patricia Morley "Trish" Porter (née King) (born August 27, 1962 in Atherton, California) is an American track and field athlete, specializing in the high jump.  She represented her native country at the 1988 Olympics.  She was married to Pat Porter also a 1988 and 1984 Olympian in 1991.  Both her husband and her 15-year-old son Connor were killed in a private plane crash in Sedona, Arizona on July 26, 2012

Early career
King claims she was always athletic.  She was one of the first girls to play in Little League under threat of lawsuit.

An eighth grade coach advised her to avoid the high jump, but that was the event she aimed at.  King attended Menlo-Atherton High School, finishing third at the 1979 CIF California State Meet and fourth the following year.  Next she went to the University of Oregon but she struggled there as a freshman, not taking the sport seriously enough.  With failure, she quit the sport as a sophomore and gained weight.  When she decided to return to the sport, even her parents advised her to "put the toys away."  When she returned she broadened her training to the multi event heptathlon.  She graduated Oregon without any success with the team.  She continued to train there where she "felt the condescending stares of her former coaches."  1986 showed signs of improvement.  She cleared 6 feet in the high jump and finished 6th in the National Championships in the heptathlon.

Olympic dreams
She continued training while working a full-time job, aiming at the 1988 Olympic Trials in Indianapolis.  She slept on friends' couches and bounced between small meets trying to qualify.  She made the minimum qualifying mark, exactly.  Four days before the trials, she was informed her high jump mark was not accepted, it took two days of phone calls to fix the issue.  When she arrived, she discovered the hotel room was only booked for 3 days of the 12-day meet.  Her heptathlon started with her in fifth place after the first day, but she faded to finish in seventh place.  With two days of rest, she qualified for the finals of the high jump, but her name was left off the list of eighteen other qualifiers.  Left out of the press coverage, even her parents didn't know she had qualified.

In the final she stayed with the leaders to .  Her position on the team was assured with a second attempt clearance of , which equalled the Olympic Trials record set by the other two qualifiers moments earlier.  The bar went up and King was the first to clear a new record of , which shocked the crowd, putting her in first place, her third personal record of the competition.  The other two team members equalled her on their second attempts.  That was as high as she would go, eventually finishing second when Louise Ritter set another record at  in the competition.  Ritter would surprise again winning the Gold medal later in the summer.  Standing 8 cm shorter than the other two qualifiers (and most of the rest of the elite high jumpers) King was such an unknown commodity, third place jumper Coleen Sommer asked "Who are you?"  Ritter told her she had made a lot of high jumpers angry by coming out of nowhere.

Masters
As Patricia Porter, she has continued to compete in masters athletics.  At a local meet in Albuquerque, she set the Masters W40 high jump world record at , surpassing the nearly eight-year-old record of Debbie Brill of Canada.  Porter's record would stand for six years.  Her mark remains the American record.  Four years later, she added the American W45 record.
