Braided river

A braided river (also called braided channel or braided stream) consists of a network of river channels separated by small, often temporary, islands called braid bars or, in British English usage, aits or eyots.

See Trujillo Formation and Braided river

Canadian River

The Canadian River is the longest tributary of the Arkansas River in the United States.

See Trujillo Formation and Canadian River

Concretion

A concretion is a hard, compact mass formed by the precipitation of mineral cement within the spaces between particles, and is found in sedimentary rock or soil.

See Trujillo Formation and Concretion

Conglomerate (geology)

Conglomerate is a clastic sedimentary rock that is composed of a substantial fraction of rounded to subangular gravel-size clasts.

See Trujillo Formation and Conglomerate (geology)

Cross-bedding

In geology, cross-bedding, also known as cross-stratification, is layering within a stratum and at an angle to the main bedding plane.

See Trujillo Formation and Cross-bedding

Cycad

Cycads are seed plants that typically have a stout and woody (ligneous) trunk with a crown of large, hard, stiff, evergreen and (usually) pinnate leaves.

See Trujillo Formation and Cycad

Deposition (geology)

Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or landmass.

See Trujillo Formation and Deposition (geology)

Dockum Group

The Dockum is a Late Triassic (approximately late Carnian through Rhaetian, or 223–200 Ma) geologic group found primarily on the Llano Estacado of western Texas and eastern New Mexico with minor exposures in southwestern Kansas, eastern Colorado, and Oklahoma panhandle.

See Trujillo Formation and Dockum Group

Fossil

A fossil (from Classical Latin) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.

See Trujillo Formation and Fossil

Geologic time scale

The geologic time scale or geological time scale (GTS) is a representation of time based on the rock record of Earth.

See Trujillo Formation and Geologic time scale

Geological formation

A geological formation, or simply formation, is a body of rock having a consistent set of physical characteristics (lithology) that distinguishes it from adjacent bodies of rock, and which occupies a particular position in the layers of rock exposed in a geographical region (the stratigraphic column).

See Trujillo Formation and Geological formation

Late Triassic

The Late Triassic is the third and final epoch of the Triassic Period in the geologic time scale, spanning the time between Ma and Ma (million years ago).

Mudstone

Mudstone, a type of mudrock, is a fine-grained sedimentary rock whose original constituents were clays or muds.

See Trujillo Formation and Mudstone

New Mexico

New Mexico (Nuevo MéxicoIn Peninsular Spanish, a spelling variant, Méjico, is also used alongside México. According to the Diccionario panhispánico de dudas by Royal Spanish Academy and Association of Academies of the Spanish Language, the spelling version with J is correct; however, the spelling with X is recommended, as it is the one that is used in Mexican Spanish.; Yootó Hahoodzo) is a state in the Southwestern region of the United States.

Paleontology in Texas

Paleontology in Texas refers to paleontological research occurring within or conducted by people from the U.S. state of Texas.

Palo Duro Canyon

Palo Duro Canyon is a canyon system of the Caprock Escarpment located in the Texas Panhandle near the cities of Amarillo and Canyon.

See Trujillo Formation and Palo Duro Canyon

Sandstone

Sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized (0.0625 to 2 mm) silicate grains, cemented together by another mineral.

See Trujillo Formation and Sandstone

Sangre de Cristo Mountains

The Sangre de Cristo Mountains (Spanish for "Blood of Christ") are the southernmost subrange of the Rocky Mountains.

Sanmiguelia

Sanmiguelia is an extinct plant genus, probably of flowering plants. Trujillo Formation and Sanmiguelia are Triassic stubs.

Tecovas Formation

The Tecovas Formation is a geological formation in the Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico. Trujillo Formation and Tecovas Formation are Triassic geology of Texas.

Texas

Texas (Texas or Tejas) is the most populous state in the South Central region of the United States.

Typothorax

Typothorax is an extinct genus of typothoracine aetosaur that lived in the Late Triassic.

See Trujillo Formation and Typothorax

United States

The United States of America (USA or U.S.A.), commonly known as the United States (US or U.S.) or America, is a country primarily located in North America.

Vadose zone

The vadose zone, also termed the unsaturated zone, is the part of Earth between the land surface and the top of the phreatic zone, the position at which the groundwater (the water in the soil's pores) is at atmospheric pressure ("vadose" is from the Latin word for "shallow").
