Lithofacies Analysis of the Sierra Ladrones Formation Near the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge Headquarters (southern Albuquerque Basin, New Mexico): Implications for Cliff Fault Movement During the Early Pleistocene 新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基盆地南部塞维利亚国家野生动物保护区总部附近Sierra Ladrones组岩相分析:对早更新世悬崖断层运动的启示
Eda Celep, D. Koning, D. Love
The north-striking, 19 km-long Cliff fault passes 1.5 km west of the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge headquarters. My study uses stratigraphic relationships to interpret tectonic activity of the Cliff fault during the early Pleistocene. Previous work had suggested the latest movements occurred during the late and middle Pleistocene (Machette, 1978), but early Pleistocene activity remained uncertain. It is necessary to use Santa Fe Group stratigraphy because potential early Pleistocene activity on the Cliff fault antedates preserved geomorphic surfaces or fault scarps. The Cliff fault is the easternmost of a trio of Quaternary normal faults in the southwestern Albuquerque Basin, the other two being the east-down Loma Pelada and Loma Blanca faults to the west. Because these faults have been mapped as extending southward into the northern Socorro Basin, interpreting their long-term displacement behavior is important in understanding how strain is transferred between the Albuquerque and Socorro Basins. Long-term (10 6 -10 7 yr) paleoseismic records of the fault trio can also be used to evaluate if fault activity has migrated towards the center of the basin. The Cliff fault offsets strata of the Sierra Ladrones Formation, a Pliocene-early Pleistocene deposit composed mainly of sand with lesser gravel and silt-clay. The studied sediment lies stratigraphically above a sample locality of a 3 Ma tooth fossil. My field research illustrates several lithofacies in the Sierra Ladrones formation, including two different types of channel fills, floodplain deposits, hyper-concentrated or debris flow deposits, and possible colluvium and slope wash deposits. The two different types of channel fills are: (1) sandstone-dominated and trough cross-stratified, with southerly paleoflow and abundant chert clasts,
向北延伸的19公里长的悬崖断层从塞维利亚塔国家野生动物保护区总部以西1.5公里处经过。我的研究使用地层关系来解释悬崖断层在更新世早期的构造活动。以前的研究表明,最近的运动发生在更新世晚期和中更新世(Machette, 1978),但早期更新世的活动仍不确定。由于克利夫断裂带上潜在的早更新世活动早于保存完好的地貌面或断裂带,因此有必要使用圣达菲群地层。Cliff断层是位于Albuquerque盆地西南部的三条第四纪正断层中最东端的一条,另外两条是位于西部的Loma Pelada断层和Loma Blanca断层。由于这些断层已被绘制为向南延伸到Socorro盆地北部,因此解释它们的长期位移行为对于理解阿尔伯克基盆地和Socorro盆地之间的应变传递方式非常重要。断裂三段式的长期(10.6 - 10.7年)古地震记录也可用于评价断裂活动是否向盆地中心迁移。Cliff断裂与Sierra Ladrones组地层相抵,为上新世-早更新世沉积,主要以砂为主,少量砾石和粉砂质粘土。所研究的沉积物在地层学上位于一个3 Ma牙齿化石样本位置的上方。我的实地研究说明了Sierra Ladrones地层中的几种岩相,包括两种不同类型的河道填充物、洪泛平原沉积、高浓度或泥石流沉积,以及可能的崩积层和坡面冲刷沉积。两种不同类型的河道填充物为:(1)砂岩为主,槽状交错层状,古流南向,燧石碎屑丰富;

Late Triassic Metoposaurid Amphibian Skull Allometry: Comparison of the Lamy, New Mexico, Population to Four Other Populations 晚三叠世甲龙类两栖动物颅骨异速测量:新墨西哥州拉米种群与其他四个种群的比较
L. Rinehart, S. Lucas
Metoposaurs (Temnospondyli: Metoposauridae) were large, ubiquitous amphibians of the Late Triassic. They were important members of the Upper Triassic Chinle Group fauna of New Mexico and are found in these strata across the state. One of the most important metoposaur bonebeds in the world occurs in the Adamanian (upper Carnian) Garita Creek Formation near Lamy, NM, where the fossils of hundreds of individuals were hydraulically concentrated on a Late Triassic floodplain. In nearly all metoposaur populations, worldwide, many skull features show shape change throughout ontogenetic growth (allometry). Some workers have believed these allometric growth trajectories to be of taxonomic value. Here, using the largest populations available (for maximum statistical sample size), we investigate the taxonomic utility of these shape changes. Skull allometry in three populations of the metoposaur Koskinonodon perfectum (Lamy, NM; Rotten Hill, TX; Popo Agie Formation of WY) was compared to establish intra-specific variation. Then, three populations representing different genera ( Dutuitosaurus ouazzoui from northern Africa; Koskinonodon perfectum from western North America; Metoposaurus diagnosticus from eastern Europe) were compared to show variation at the generic level. Anteroposterior movement of the orbits and relative skull width at three positions (snout tip at the anterior nares, basal snout at the anterior orbits, greatest width across the quadratojugals) with respect to midline length throughout ontogeny were determined. Relative orbit position moved anteriorly in D. ouazzoui and K. perfectum (Rotten Hill), posteriorly in K. perfectum (Lamy) and K. perfectum (WY), and remained approximately fixed in M. diagnosticus . Skull width allometries were of mixed values, but with rare exceptions, the snout grew wider with respect to length throughout ontogeny, whereas the posterior skull became relatively narrower. Thus, the skulls of juveniles were somewhat triangular, and they grew to be more parallel-sided with a wider, blunter snout in adults. Comparison of the calculated allometric constants from the various populations yielded a surprising result: intra-specific variation in growth patterns was as great as or greater than inter-generic variation. The three K. perfectum populations, including the Lamy metoposaurs, were not significantly more similar to each other than they were to different genera. The salient point of this preliminary work is that allometric skull growth trajectories in metoposaurs probably have little or no taxonomic value, and metoposaur taxa should probably not be erected based solely on variations in growth patterns.
背龙是生活在晚三叠世的大型、普遍存在的两栖动物。它们是新墨西哥州上三叠统Chinle群动物群的重要成员,在整个州的这些地层中都有发现。世界上最重要的甲龙骨床之一位于内华达州拉米附近的阿达曼尼亚(上卡尼亚)加里塔溪组,在那里的晚三叠世洪泛平原上发现了数百具甲龙化石。在全世界几乎所有的mettoposaur种群中,许多头骨特征在个体发育过程中显示出形状变化(异速生长)。一些工作者认为这些异速生长轨迹具有分类学价值。在这里,我们使用最大的种群(以获得最大的统计样本量)来研究这些形状变化的分类效用。完美龙(Koskinonodon perfectum, Lamy, NM;烂山,得克萨斯州;比较了WY的Popo Agie形成,建立了种内变异。然后是代表不同属的三个种群(来自北非的杜杜托龙;产于北美西部的完美Koskinonodon;对来自东欧的诊断型后鳞龙(Metoposaurus diagnosticus)进行了比较,以显示在属级水平上的差异。在个体发育过程中,眼眶的前后运动和三个位置的相对颅骨宽度(鼻尖在前鼻孔,基底鼻在前眼眶,穿过四方角的最大宽度)与中线长度的关系被确定。相对轨道位置在D. ouazzoui和K. perfectum (Rotten Hill)中向前移动,在K. perfectum (Lamy)和K. perfectum (WY)中向后移动,在M. diagnosticus中大致保持固定。颅骨宽度异速变化的值是混合的,但除了极少数例外,在个体发育过程中,鼻子相对于长度变宽,而后颅骨相对变窄。因此,幼年恐龙的头骨在某种程度上是三角形的,成年恐龙的头骨更平行,鼻子更宽、更钝。对不同居群计算的异速生长常数进行比较,得出了一个惊人的结果:种内生长模式的变异与属间变异一样大,甚至更大。包括拉米上鳞龙在内的三个完美龙居群之间的相似性并不比它们在不同属之间的相似性大得多。这项初步研究的重点在于,异速生长的头盖骨可能很少或根本没有分类学价值,不应该仅仅根据生长模式的变化来建立头盖骨分类群。

40Ar/ 39Ar Detrital Sanidine Dating of the Ogallala Formation in Southeastern New Mexico and West Texas 新墨西哥州东南部和西德克萨斯州奥加拉拉组40Ar/ 39Ar碎屑砂定年
Kevin Henry, M. Heizler, Steve T. Cather
Despite the potential for the use of the Ogallala Formation as a constraint on the sedimentary response to uplift of the Southern Rocky Mountains during the Tertiary, primary age and provenance data for New Mexico Ogallala units are sparse. The current estimated depositional age of the southern Ogallala is between ~13 and 5 Ma based on vertebrate biochronology in the northeastern part of the Llano Estacado in west Texas. In an effort to improve the age constraints, detrital sanidine (DS) 40 Ar/ 39 Ar geochronology is utilized on samples from the western escarpment of the Llano Estacado and elsewhere in NM. Coupling DS age and associated K/Ca data (determined from measuring 39 Ar/ 37 Ar) and comparing this to age and K/Ca data of regional volcanic units allows estimates of maximum depositional age (MDA) and provenance. This information is utilized to better understand the evolution of the Pecos River system. DS data were determined from the Bridwell and Couch formations of the Ogallala Group near Lubbock, TX (samples courtesy of Dr. Tom Lehman). Based on biostratigraphy, the Bridwell formation is Hemphillian (10.3-4.9 Ma) and the Couch is Clarendonian (13.6-10.3 Ma). DS data yield an MDA of 6.77 Ma thus restricting the sampled interval of the Bridwell to no older than 6.77 Ma In contrast, the MDA of the Couch formation sample is 27.1 Ma with no Miocene DS grains detected. Four Miocene DS grains are found in samples from Mescalero Ridge in SE New Mexico and they provide an 11.44 MDA for Ogallala Formation in this area. The combined DS data and lithologic (eolian) similarities suggest that the Ogallala of SE New Mexico is correlative to the upper Couch Formation of west Texas. The 6-8 Ma youngest grains in the Bridwell formation indicate a New Mexico Peralta tuff source, whereas significant late Cretaceous DS grains are likely derived from reworked Cretaceous or younger sedimentary rocks. The 11.44 Ma DS grains from the Llano Estacado may be derived from Socorro area volcanics or perhaps much more distal Yellowstone Hotspot Track eruptions in Idaho, although long transport of sanidine is tephra is problematic. As a whole there are multiple DS ages between the Oligocene and Eocene that could reflect derivation from several regional volcanic fields. In detail, age and K/Ca data of Trans-Pecos volcanic field sanidines provide the best matches to some of the DS data, thereby implying an overall southern source for the Ogallala sediments. This coupled with paleocurrent data supports a north flowing paleo-Pecos river system that has been proposed by Cather (2011). Several samples from north-central New Mexico that are mapped as Ogallala yield Pleistocene DS ages with grains likely sourced from Valles Caldera eruptions. The young ages demonstrate the difficulty of correctly mapping the Ogallala and suggest that these units are likely either the Blackwater Draw or Blanco formation.
尽管奥加拉拉组有可能作为第三纪南落基山脉隆升的沉积响应的约束条件,但新墨西哥州奥加拉拉单元的原始年龄和物源数据却很少。根据德克萨斯州西部Llano Estacado东北部的脊椎动物生物年代学,目前估计奥加拉拉南部的沉积年龄在~13 ~ 5 Ma之间。为了改善年龄限制,对Llano Estacado西部悬崖和NM其他地方的样品使用了碎屑sanidine (DS) 40 Ar/ 39 Ar地质年代学。结合DS年龄和相关的K/Ca数据(通过测量39ar / 37ar确定),并将其与区域火山单元的年龄和K/Ca数据进行比较,可以估计最大沉积年龄(MDA)和物源。这些信息被用来更好地了解佩科斯河系统的演变。DS数据来自德克萨斯州Lubbock附近Ogallala Group的Bridwell和Couch地层(样本由Tom Lehman博士提供)。根据生物地层学,Bridwell组为Hemphillian组(10.3 ~ 4.9 Ma), Couch组为Clarendonian组(13.6 ~ 10.3 Ma)。DS数据的MDA值为6.77 Ma,限制了Bridwell地层的采样间隔不超过6.77 Ma,而Couch地层样品的MDA值为27.1 Ma,没有发现中新世的DS颗粒。在新墨西哥州东南部的Mescalero Ridge样品中发现了4个中新世DS颗粒,它们为该地区的Ogallala组提供了11.44 MDA。综合DS资料和岩性(风成)相似性表明,新墨西哥州东南部的奥加拉拉与德克萨斯州西部的上库奇组相关。Bridwell组中6 ~ 8 Ma的最年轻颗粒显示了新墨西哥Peralta凝灰岩的来源,而大量晚白垩世DS颗粒可能来自白垩世或更年轻的沉积岩。来自Llano Estacado的11.44 Ma DS颗粒可能来自Socorro地区的火山,或者可能来自爱达荷州黄石热点轨道更远的火山喷发,尽管长时间运输的sanidine是有问题的。从整体上看,渐新世和始新世之间存在多个DS年龄,可以反映几个区域性火山场的演化。其中,Trans-Pecos火山场沉积物的年龄和K/Ca数据与部分DS数据匹配最好,从而暗示了Ogallala沉积物的整体来源为南部。这与古水流数据相结合,支持了Cather(2011)提出的向北流动的古佩科斯河系统。来自新墨西哥州中北部的几个样品被绘制为奥加拉拉,其更新世DS年代的颗粒可能来自Valles Caldera喷发。年轻的年龄表明了正确绘制奥加拉拉地层的难度,并表明这些单元可能是黑水组或布兰科组。

Four Miocene DS grains are found in samples from Mescalero Ridge in SE New Mexico and they provide an 11.44 MDA for Ogallala Formation in this area. The combined DS data and lithologic (eolian) similarities suggest that the Ogallala of SE New Mexico is correlative to the upper Couch Formation of west Texas. The 6-8 Ma youngest grains in the Bridwell formation indicate a New Mexico Peralta tuff source, whereas significant late Cretaceous DS grains are likely derived from reworked Cretaceous or younger sedimentary rocks. The 11.44 Ma DS grains from the Llano Estacado may be derived from Socorro area volcanics or perhaps much more distal Yellowstone Hotspot Track eruptions in Idaho, although long transport of sanidine is tephra is problematic. As a whole there are multiple DS ages between the Oligocene and Eocene that could reflect derivation from several regional volcanic fields. In detail, age and K/Ca data of Trans-Pecos volcanic field sanidines provide the best matches to some of the DS data, thereby implying an overall southern source for the Ogallala sediments. This coupled with paleocurrent data supports a north flowing paleo-Pecos river system that has been proposed by Cather (2011). Several samples from north-central New Mexico that are mapped as Ogallala yield Pleistocene DS ages with grains likely sourced from Valles Caldera eruptions. The young ages demonstrate the difficulty of correctly mapping the Ogallala and suggest that these units are likely either the Blackwater Draw or Blanco 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":"30 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":"133853354","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}
