Geology of Southwestern San Juan Basin, Second Field Conference (1957).
About This Publication
PDF only, 213pp. This publication accompanied the second FCGS field conference, which focused on the problems of Cretaceous stratigraphy in the southwestern and western parts of the San Juan Basin. It includes 25 papers and 2 road logs. There are 9 general background papers, 5 on regional geology, 6 on stratigraphy and 5 descriptions of oil and gas fields. The road logs begin and end in Gallup, NM. The first day traveled east to Thoreau via Mariana Lake, hugging the southern rim of the San Juan Basin. Day two travelled north to Shiprock and back looking at the outcropping Cretaceous on the western edge of the basin, as well as the string of igneous plugs, including Shiprock, that are the Navajo Volcanic Field. There is also a good discussion of helium production from gas in the Hogback field and its uses.
