Figure 2 Index map to locations of bioherms in Mississippian strata in the northern part of the Sacramento mountains, New, Mexico. The finely stippled portions represent the exposures of Pre+Mississippian rocks, the white portions represent the exposures ofMississippian rocks, the horizontally ruled portions represent the exposures of post-Mississippianrocks, . and the coarsely stippled portion repre' sents the coalescing alluvial fans and valley alluvium at the western . foot of the mountains. The center of the area covered by this, map lies approximately 3 miles. east of Alamogordo, Otero County, New Mexico. \ .. .. i i .' I ~. ~__ _ .I".". . . A "
