2020 NMGS FALL FIELD CONFERENCE - *MT. TAYLOR REGION*


*     Sept. 23-26, 2020; Paper submission â?? March 1, 2020*


*Trip leaders: Bonnie Frey, Shari Kelley, Kate Zeigler, Fraser Goff,
Virginia McLemore*


The Mt. Taylor Region is home to substantial Plio-Pleistocene-aged volcanic
deposits and to the mid-20th century uranium rush. Come join us as we
explore the Triassic and Cenozoic stratigraphy of the area, the volcanic
history of Mt. Taylor, and the history of a highly competitive race to mine
one of the most lucrative uranium deposits in the world. The trip was
conceived with the completion of the Mt. Taylor geologic map by a team led
by Fraser Goff and with the completion of a 5-year EPSCoR study program of
uranium mobility and sources, one of the largest uranium research efforts
since the 1980s. We are considering a Sept. 23 pre-trip.
