Crevasse Canyon Formation
The Crevasse Canyon Formation is a coal-bearing Cretaceous bedrock formation in New Mexico and Arizona.
==Description==
The formation was originally described in 1954 by Allen and Balk as part of the Mesaverde Group.〔
The formation is divided into three members, in ascending stratigraphic order: Dilco Coal Member, Dalton Sandstone Member, and Gibson Coal Member. The Dilco Coal Member is described by Cather (2010) as "Drab mudstone, fine- to medium-grained sandstone, and coal. Sandstone is commonly crossbedded or ripple laminated." The Dalton Sandstone Member is described as "Gray to yellowish gray, fine- to medium-grained, cliff-forming sandstone." The Gibson Coal Member is described as "Drab mudstone, buff, brown, and greenish gray sandstone (commonly cross-bedded), and coal," with the coals typically less than 0.5 m thick.〔Cather, Steven, 2010, Preliminary geologic map of the San Lucas Dam quadrangle, McKinley County, New Mexico: New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, Open-File Geologic Map OF-GM 212, scale 1:24000.
