During the early Paleozoic, southern and western New Mexico were submerged by a warm shallow sea that would come to be home to creatures including brachiopods, bryozoans, cartilaginous fishes, corals, graptolites, nautiloids, placoderms, and trilobites. During the Ordovician the state was home to algal reefs up to 300 feet high.
Clovis is located in the New Mexico portion of the Llano Estacado, in the eastern part of the state. A largely agricultural community, closely bordering Texas , it is noted for its role in early rock music history and for nearby Cannon Air Force Base , current home to the 27th Special Operations Wing which is also known as "The Steadfast Line ...
To estimate ice area, scientists calculate the percentage of sea ice in each pixel, multiply by the pixel area, and total the amounts. Scientists set a threshold percentage to estimate ice extent, and count every pixel meeting or exceeding that threshold as "ice-covered." The common threshold is 15 %.
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.

Bandera Volcano Ice Cave, also known as Zuni Ice Cave, is a lava tube cave in New Mexico with an internal temperature significantly less than above-ground summertime ambient temperature; it contains perennial ice. [1] The inside temperatures can fluctuate between −1 and 10 °C (31 and 50 °F). Some areas of the ice cave never reach above ...
Anchor ice. Anchor ice is defined by the World Meteorological Organization as "submerged ice attached or anchored to the bottom, irrespective of the nature of its formation". [1] It may also be called bottom-fast ice. [2] Anchor ice is most commonly observed in fast-flowing rivers during periods of extreme cold, at the mouths of rivers flowing ...
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.
