The geology of New Mexico includes bedrock exposures of four physiographic provinces, with ages ranging from almost 1800 million years to nearly the present day. Here the Great Plains , southern Rocky Mountains , Colorado Plateau , and Basin and Range Provinces meet, giving the state great geologic diversity.
From the White Place, painting by Georgia O'Keefe depicting the Abiquiu Formation. The Abiquiu Formation is a geologic formation found in northern New Mexico. Radiometric dating constrains its age to between 18 million and 27 million years, corresponding to the late Oligocene to Miocene epochs.
Geology – one of the Earth sciences – is the study of the Earth, with the general exclusion of present-day life, flow within the ocean, and the atmosphere. The field of geology encompasses the composition, structure, physical properties, and history of Earth's components, and the processes by which it is shaped.

The Bandelier Tuff is a geologic formation exposed in and around the Jemez Mountains of northern New Mexico.It has a radiometric age of 1.85 to 1.25 million years, corresponding to the Pleistocene epoch.
The Potrillo volcanic field is a monogenetic volcanic field located on the Rio Grande Rift in southern New Mexico, United States and northern Chihuahua, Mexico.The volcanic field lies 22 miles (35 km) southwest of Las Cruces, and occupies about 4,661 square kilometers (1,800 sq mi) near the U.S. border with Mexico.
