“…The strata greatly resemble the middle part of the overlying Rancheria Formation; in fact, they may be a facies of the Rancheria as suggested by Laudon and Bowsher (1949). Pray (1961) and Yurewicz (1973), in their studies of the Las Cruces and Rancheria, also pointed out similarities between the two formations in the Sacramento Mountains. Moreover, they suggested that the Las Cruces be redefined as a member of the Rancheria, because only a diastem separated them.…”

“…Throughout the region the upper contact also appears to be an unconformity that separates blue-gray-weathering, slightly cherty Las Cruces micrite from brown-weathering, cherty, sandy Rancheria strata. However, the unconformity lacks appreciable relief and has been described by Pray (1961) and Yurewicz (1973) as a diastem, thus indicating only a sedimentation change and nondeposition rather than erosion. The interpretation seems reasonable because both Las Cruces and Rancheria strata are basinal, relatively deep-water deposits.…”

“…Stevenson and Baars, 1986;Budnick, 1986;Soegaard and Caldwell, 1990). The presence of syndeposi tional folds and unconformities along the eastern margin of the Orogrande Basin (Pray, 1959) are consistent with a compression al or transpressional regime. The evidence for tectonic activity along the western margin of the basin and a rhombic basin form indicated by Virgilian isopachs suggested to Lawton et al (2002) that the Orogrande Basin may have had a transpressional, strike slip origin.…”

“…In the Caballo Mountains and vicinity, Permian Pennsylvanian strata are represented by the Pennsylvanian Red House, Nakaye, and Bar B Formations, which belong to the Magdalena Group, and by the Permian Abo and Yeso Formations. All were deposited on the western flank of the Orogrande Basin (Pray, 1959;Kottlowski, 1960;Jordan, 1975).…”
