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.
It will be April 18 at New Mexico Tech, coinciding with the annual spring meeting of the New Mexico Geological Society. Barrio said using renewable energies like geothermal is kind of like the new ...
Geobiologists often study extreme environments like this because they are home to extremophilic organisms. It has been hypothesized that these environments may be representative of early Earth. [1] Geobiology is a field of scientific research that explores the interactions between the physical Earth and the biosphere. It is a relatively young ...
The Glorieta Sandstone is of Kungurian (upper Leonardian) age [4] and forms a ledge at or near the top of the Permian section throughout central New Mexico. It rests conformably on the Yeso Group and is overlain either conformably by thin beds of the San Andres Formation or disconformably with Triassic beds.
