Coastal, ocean-going communities of Native Americans have existed in the area since prehistoric times, with evidence of settlements dating back to at least ca. 8,000 B.C. [1] [3] [4] [7] During the Last Glacial Period, such communities existed on land that became submerged by rising sea levels [7] as the glaciers retreated.
New Mexico's Late Jurassic dinosaurs included Allosaurus, Stegosaurus, and the massive long-necked sauropods. [10] Mantelliceras. Eastern New Mexico was inundated by seawater once more during the Cretaceous period. This sea was home to ammonites and oysters. [3] Throughout the Cretaceous over 900 different kinds of life are known to have lived ...
The map of North America with the Western Interior Seaway during the Campanian. The Western Interior Seaway (also called the Cretaceous Seaway, the Niobraran Sea, the North American Inland Sea, the Western Interior Sea and sometimes nicknamed "Hell's Aquarium") was a large inland sea that split the continent of North America into two landmasses for 34 million years.
Up to half of the continent's modern surface area may have been submerged by this sea. [72] This is called the Western Interior Seaway. [73] It covered the majority of states like Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, and Wyoming. [74] The seafloor was smooth and probably never submerged by more than 600 feet of ...
Maritime archaeology (also known as marine archaeology) is a discipline within archaeology as a whole that specifically studies human interaction with the sea, [1] lakes and rivers through the study of associated physical remains, be they vessels, shore-side facilities, port-related structures, cargoes, human remains and submerged landscapes.

SEALAB I, II, and III were experimental underwater habitats developed and deployed by the United States Navy during the 1960s to prove the viability of saturation diving and humans living in isolation for extended ...
The geologic history of the state began with its assembly during the Yavapai and Mazatzal orogenies 1750 to 1650 million years ago (Mya). This was followed by 200 million years of tectonic quiescence that ended in the Picuris orogeny. This event transformed the New Mexico crust into mature continental crust.
