Camarillas Sandstone Formation
Medium to coarse calcareous sand. Bed thickness ranged from 30cm to 200cm. Contained mostly CaCO3 and
small shell fragments. Redish tint is iron oxide staining. Overall thickness undetermined because there is no
exposure of basal contact on the surface.
Palomar Limestone Formation
Transition between competent and incompetent bedding. Consist of about 60-70% carbonate mud throughout
all its members, with more and more fossil evidence towards the Upper Palomar Member and the overlying
lithology. Bed thickness ranges from 50cm - 200cm
Utrillas Marl Formation
The Utrillas Marl Formation is a series of interbedded competent white carbonate sands and less competent
carbonate-rich mudstone. Bed thickness ranges from 20cm to 200cm. Contains coal seams and gypsum crystals.
Canadillas Limestone Formation
Interbedded mircritic limestone with angular clasts. Bed thickness is 50cm to >100cm. Dogtooth calcite
is present in fabric. A small section of this formation has been slightly dolomitised, but not seen in the
area of study.
Aldehuela Conglomerate Formation
Has rounded clasts embedded in a sandy matrix. 75% of the clasts are micritic limestone. Undetermined
bed thickness and estimated overall thickness of 200m. Represents an erosional surface overlying an
angular unconformity.
Covachuela Conglomerate Formation
Contains a poorly sorted matrix of sand and 50cm+ clasts. This unit represents an unconformable
erosional surface. Also shows upward fining.
