... folded and faulted geosynclinal rocks of the northern Eagle and southern Quitman mountains. Similar small patches are reported by R. E. King near Conchos River in Chihuahua. Here they have been tilted, but not as steeply as are the Cretaceous rocks. In the southeastern Davis Mountains, Baker has...

The contact between the Buda Limestone and the basal Ojinaga flags is disconformable at the south end of the Quitman Mountains but probably gradational a few miles...

...Samuel G. Lasky ABSTRACT Lower Cretaceous rocks newly discovered in the Little Hatchet Mountains in southwestern New Mexico display an exposed thickness ranging from 17,000 to 21,000 feet. The base of the section is covered by valley fill and the top by Tertiary volcanics. The entire exposed...

The overthrust folds are supposed to be lower-order “drag folds” related to strike slip...

.... In Texas the opposite is the case. Here the only geosynclinal area of significance during the Cretaceous was in trans-Pecos during Travis Peak and Glen Rose time. Its axis corresponded in a general way to the Quitman Mountains. This area was, in reality, only the shallowed northern extension of one...
