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.

The Todilto Formation is a geologic formation in northern New Mexico and southeastern Colorado. It preserves fossils dating back to the Callovian stage of the middle Jurassic period . Description
Since 1992 the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources has been undertaking extensive investigations of the geology of the basin and the aquifer. [4] The groundwater has been deposited in three main phases. The lower Santa Fe group was created by dune fields and small streams draining into playa lakes and mud flats.
