<br />2898 <br /> <br />In the Carrizo Mountain area, Strobell (1956) did <br /> <br />. not map the Burro Canyon Formation but reported that: <br /> <br /> <br />"Lenticular strata of conglomeratic sandstone 10 to 20 <br /> <br /> <br />feet thick occur as much as 100 feet below the top of <br /> <br /> <br />the Brushy Basin member. T11ese lenses are very pale <br /> <br /> <br />orange to yellowish gray and are very discontinuous. <br /> <br /> <br />T11ey are probably equivalent to the basal conglomeratic <br /> <br /> <br />sandstone of the Burro canyon formation of southwestern <br /> <br /> <br />Colorado (Stokes Land Phoeni31, 1948), but where they <br /> <br /> <br />pinch out the overlying sandy claystone beds could not <br /> <br /> <br />be differentiated from the underlying sandy claystone <br /> <br /> <br />beds * * * Hence, in all probability the Brushy Basin <br /> <br /> <br />member as here mapped locally contains beds of Lower <br /> <br />Cretaceous age." <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Ekren and Houser (1959a, p. 200) also note <br /> <br />conglomeratic sandstone in the Carrizo Mountain area, <br /> <br />New Mexico, units probably equivalent to the sandstone <br />and conglomerate lenses in the Burro Canyon of south- <br />western Colorado. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />IPt <br />
