Stratigraphic interpretation of high-resolution
dipmeter logs can provide important information
concerning the morphology and distribution of reservoir sandstones.Stratigraphic dip data were correlated with primary rock properties observed in cores
and with borehole-log data to define the internal
morphology of turbidite channel sandstonesin the
Cherry Canyon Formation at Indian Draw field.
Characteristic dip patterns allowed the delineation
of erosional unconformities, channel sequences,
slump faulting, contorted and massivebedding, and
sedimentary drape. The erosional unconformity
which marks the base of the Indian Draw channel
exhibits a characteristic dip pattern consisting of an
abrupt change in the trend of dip magnitude and dip
azimuth across the unconformity, marked by higher
dips (6-9') above the unconformity in the channel
fill and lower dips (2-4") in the basin-plain sediments below. Slump faults exhibit an abrupt increase in dip with depth over a small interval and an

contain favorable oil- or gas-sourceunits. Mesozoic
rocks, generally shallow-marine limestones and deltaic sandstones-mudstones, are nearly 10,000 ft
(3,050 m) thick. Two of the three Lower Cretaceous
formations contain favorable source units. Gasprone kerogens are more abundant than the oilprone types. At normal depths of burial, organic
matter in the source units has reached thermal
maturity, and some in the older formations is overmature. In the lower plate of a major Laramide
thrust fault, the Lower Cretaceous units are overmature and the older Paleozoic units may be thermally metamorphosed. Best reservoir objectives are
the porous dolostones, totaling 484 ft (148 m) in
thickness, in the upper part of the Horquilla Formation (Pennsylvanian-Permian). They are located at
the shelf margin of a deep-marine basin. Other favorable reservoir units are indicated in surface exposures. In this frontier area, only 11 exploration
wells have been drilled to Precambrian, Paleozoic,
or Mesozoic rocks. Shows of oil or gas were reported
in six of the wells. None of the wells have tested the
better reservoir objectives in the deeper parts of the
graben valleys, where commercial accumulations of
petroleurn are likely to be preserved. Tertiary-intrusive and volcanic-cauldron complexes have thermally metamorphosed older sedimentary units only
locally. Basin-and-range faulting has disrupted subsurface fluid systerns in many parts of the area.
Despite the challenging risks, the high potential encourages further exploratory drilling on selected
petroleum prospects.

associated progressive dip azimuth rotation approaching the fault. Contorted beds show a random
dip pattern, often marked by poor-quality, highmagnitude dips. Massively bedded sandstoneslack
computed dips and sedimentary drape patterns typically consist of a decreaseupward within basinal deposits overlying a sandstone. Detailed mapping of
the reservoir sandstones indicates deposition as
stacked, laterally discontinuous lenseswithin a previously eroded channel. Direction of sedimentary
drape over sandstonelensescan be used to map their
trends. Channel-fill lenses are 5-30 ft (1.5-9.1 m)
thick, and are elongate parallel with depositional dip
with a sinuous geometry. Such turbidite channel deposits can be anticipated to form complex multiIayered reservoirs, consisting of a series of isolated
sandstonelensesof restricted areal extent.

The Rio Puerco and Rio San Jose are intermittent
streams which drain the active uranium mining district east of the Continental Divide. Episodic major
floods deliver large quantities of sediments derived
from the uranium mining and milling area into these
streams. Available data have made possible the
sampling of sediments in the Rio Puerco and Rio
San Jose oxbows and channels that are known to be
pre- or post mine-mill operations. Analysis of these
sediment samples by environmental gamma counts,
neutron activation analysis, atomic absorption, and
other techniques are only partially complete at this
time. When the data collections processis complete,
it should be possible to gauge the influence of uranium operations on the transport of heavy metals
and isotopes in this area. The observed concentrations in these sediments far Th-234, U, Cu, Pb, Cr,
Cd, Hg, As, Se, and others and the correlation to
relative age, depth, and various other factors will be
discussed.

The Fruitland Formation is a Late Cretaceousdeltaic and back-barrier coal-bearing sequence.Fossils
are common but neither as abundant nor as well preserved as in some other Late Cretaceous formations
such as the Hell Creek-Lance or Oldman. Macerated plant material is ubiquitous in all rock types.
Channel-form sandstonescontain sand-sized(Wentworth) clasts of usually coalified plant material. In
overbank siltstonesand mudstones, plant material is
larger but more scattered and usually consists of
stem fragments. Well preservedleaves,usually compressions,are found only in local "pond" facies. Of
other fossils silicified wood is the most abundant,
mainly in the form of petrified stumps and lesscommonly logs of coniferous trees. Stumps often occur
in groups. Logs are sometimes found in channelform sandstones,but stumps are usually restricted to

often isolated in the former. Subcomplete skeletons
are and usually occur in channel-form sandstones.
Of other vertebrates, turtles are by far the most
abundant, usually occurring in overbank mudstones. Crocodile remains are far less common.
Predator damage on vertebrate fossils is rare. Invertebrate remains high in the Fruitland are rarely
preserved in situ and usually occur in clay-pebble
conglomerates with plant and vertebrate remains,
often associated with sideritic concretions. Claypebble conglomeratesalso yield the vast majority of
the mammal, lizard, and amphibian remains and
most of the fish scalesand vertebrae. Lower in the
Fruitland are coquinas of brackish invertebrates.
Some clay-pebble conglomeratesyield many calcitic

high-gradient, low-sinuosity, flat-bottomed braided
system. The Llano de Albuquerque landform and

Sedimentsof the lower Rio Puerco study area may
be divided into two broad categories:1) the Santa Fe
Group which represents a rapidly aggrading fluvial
system filling the Albuquerque Basin and 2) postSanta Fe valley-fill sediments which include valleymargin deposits and valley-floor deposits. The latter
group representsprocessesof erosion and deposition
that have prevailed since the entrenchment of the
Santa Fe basin fill. Both groups contain many of the
same types of sediments. The Santa Fe Group is divided into two formations: 1) the Miocene-Pliocene
Popotosa Formation which consists of piedmont
and playa facies deposited in a closed basin and 2)
the late-Pliocene (?) to mid-Pleistocene Sierra Ladrones Formation which representsdeposition by a

schist. The original internal structure of the
sandstone has not been changed greatly. The
metamorphic effects are mainly confined to
concentrations of brown and gold mica along
the bedding planes of schistosity (planes of
weakness).
Exposures of schist occur at higher elevations, near the crests of the ridges bordering
the central valley, and are easily identified by
their color and the presence of bedding.
Sedimentary rocks of Pennsylvanian age
have been recognized lying directly on top of
the Precambrian in several areas of the complex, but not within the park. Sedimentary
rocks are formed from water-transported sediments and comprise the third major rock type.
The presence of these rocks indicates that
north-central New Mexico was occupied by an
ocean during Pennsylvanian time, between
320-270 m.y. ago. No evidence remains to indicate what occurred in this area during the
millions of years that elapsed between the
Precambrian and the Pennsylvanian.
In some areas of the complex, Pennsylvanian rocks are overlain by remnants of
younger formations. Field evidence indicates
that at least several hundred feet of postPennsylvanian rocks formerly existed in this
area. Undoubtedly Pennsylvanian and
younger rocks partially covered Hyde Memorial Park sometime in the past. However, these
rocks, as well as part of the Precambrian have
been eroded by streams and glaciers, shaping
n
the landscapeas we seeit today.
