چکیده
Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico.

Two-billion-year granulites in the late precambrian metamorphic basement along the southern peruvian coast.
Uranium-lead data indicate that the high-pressure granulitic and charnockitic nuclei within the medium-grade metamorphic complex of the Peruvian coastal area must be related to an orogenic event 2 x 10(9) years ago. As in western Africa and Brazil, this old granulitic basement is reworked by Late Precambrian orogeny. Its presence along the Peru-Chile Trench must be taken into account in interpr...
متن کاملReconnaissance Geological Observations on Precambrian and Palaeozoic Rocks of the New and Salisbury Rivers, Southern Tasmania
Phyllite and quartzite, probably Precambrian, trend meridionally and dip steeply in the New River Gorge above the junction with the Salisbury River in southern Tasmania. Further upstream an association of silty dolomite and conglomerate is less deformed and may be younger. Siliceous conglomerate boulders occur in the New River below the gorge. Late Ordovician carbonates of the Gordon Group are ...
متن کاملLower Palaeozoic Unconformities in South-western Tasmania
Recent geological work in south-west Tasmania on a regional scale has allowed the compilation of existing information regarding Lower Palaeozoic unconformities, namely the description of new localities and in some cases the amplification and extension of previously described exposures. Carey and Banks (1954, p. 245) provide a review of information to 1954 and their classification of unconformit...
متن کاملThe Precambrian-cambrian Boundary Problem: Paleomagnetic Directions from the Amadeus Basin, Central Australia
Late Precambrian to early Cambrian sediments of the Amadeus Basin, Central Australia, contain two stable directions of magnetization. Lithologies are diverse and include red beds, green beds, and carbonates, all of which respond to thermal cleaning. Positive fold and unconformity tests, and a well-defined polarity zonation reveal the primary component and direction of magnetization. This direct...
