Contains geologic road logs for a three-day field trip on the coal resources of northwestern New Mexico. Also contains three short technical papers pertaining to subject. The San Juan Basin is a structural depression at the edge of the Colorado Plateau. The basin has about 6,000 ft of structural relief and covers about 10,000 mi2 of northwestern New Mexico and southeastern Colorado. Monoclines are the most distinct structures in the Colorado Plateau; excellent examples occur in the San Juan Basin, the most prominent being the north-south-trending Hogback Mountain, near the west edge of the basin. Over 14,000 ft of sedimentary rocks occur in the deepest part of the basin, as indicated in a well drilled to basement near Gobernador in northwestern Rio Arriba County.
