Bureau of Land Management

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is an agency within the United States Department of the Interior responsible for administering U.S. federal lands.

Colorado

Colorado (other variants) is a landlocked state in the Mountain West subregion of the Western United States.

See Raven Ridge and Colorado

Endemism is the state of a species only being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere.

See Raven Ridge and Endemism

Eocene

The Eocene is a geological epoch that lasted from about 56 to 33.9 million years ago (Ma).

See Raven Ridge and Eocene

Fold (geology)

In structural geology, a fold is a stack of originally planar surfaces, such as sedimentary strata, that are bent or curved ("folded") during permanent deformation.

See Raven Ridge and Fold (geology)

Gastropoda

Gastropods, commonly known as slugs and snails, belong to a large taxonomic class of invertebrates within the phylum Mollusca called Gastropoda.

See Raven Ridge and Gastropoda

Laramide orogeny

The Laramide orogeny was a time period of mountain building in western North America, which started in the Late Cretaceous, 80 to 70 million years ago, and ended 55 to 35 million years ago.

See Raven Ridge and Laramide orogeny

Outcrop

An outcrop or rocky outcrop is a visible exposure of bedrock or ancient superficial deposits on the surface of the Earth and other terrestrial planets.

See Raven Ridge and Outcrop

Rio Blanco County, Colorado

Rio Blanco County (Condado del Río Blanco) is a county located in the U.S. state of Colorado.

Sedimentary rock

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at Earth's surface, followed by cementation.

See Raven Ridge and Sedimentary rock

Strike and dip

In geology, strike and dip is a measurement convention used to describe the plane orientation or attitude of a planar geologic feature.

See Raven Ridge and Strike and dip

Tectonic uplift

Tectonic uplift is the geologic uplift of Earth's surface that is attributed to plate tectonics.

See Raven Ridge and Tectonic uplift

Tectonics

Tectonics are the processes that result in the structure and properties of the Earth's crust and its evolution through time.

See Raven Ridge and Tectonics

Uinta Basin

The Uinta Basin (also known as the Uintah Basin) is a physiographic section of the larger Colorado Plateaus province, which in turn is part of the larger Intermontane Plateaus physiographic division.
