Abstract

This report has been placed on open file in order to make it available to the public. The data examined in this report are based on a wide variety of previously released and in-progress studies available to the author, ranging from unpublished graduate theses to in-press peerreviewed papers. This report has not been edited or reviewed according to New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources standards, and revision is likely because of the on-going nature of work in the region. Thus, the contents of this report should not be considered final or complete until published by the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources. Any enlargement of the figure, plates, and tables in this report could result in misunderstanding the detail of mapping and may result in erroneous interpretations. The views and conclusions contained in this report should not be interpreted as necessarily representing the official policies, either expressed or implied, of the State of New Mexico. Comments are welcome and should be made directly to the author.
