Magnetostratigraphy, age and depositional environment of the Lobo Formation, southwest New Mexico: implications for the Laramide orogeny in the southern Rocky Mountains

The Lobo Formation of southwestern New Mexico consists of spatially variable continental successions attributed to the Laramide orogeny (80–40 Myr), although its age and provenance are virtually undocumented. This study combines sedimentological, magnetostratigraphical and geochronological data to i...
