	Picuris Pueblo Pottery Collection
		Picuris and Taos have followed pottery traditions quite different from those of the other pueblos.
		At Taos and Picuris the clay is formed of decayed pre-Cambrian schist, filled with abundant flecks of mica throughout, while the Tewa achieved the same metallic luster by coating their clay with a thick, glittery finish.
		Picuris pots are characterized by their mottled appearance, which varies from glittery orange metallic to almost fl, while Taos pots are often more uniform in color.

		The Superintendent for the United Pueblos Agency, New Mexico, has raised the question of whether the so-called compensation funds of the Pueblos of Pojoaque and Picuris are available for the purchase of lands in what is referred to as the Ramah Navajo area near Ramah, New Mexico.

		The requests of the Pueblos of Picuris and Pojoaque that their funds be expended in the purchase of these lands contemplate that the lands are to be leased to the Ramah Navajos.

		The gross structure of the Picuris Range, defined by the buckled and imbricated km-thick Ortega Formation quartzite, is that of a tight synclinorium bounded by limb-parallel ductile shear zones.
		Although the Picuris Range has common characteristics with adjacent ranges, several features mark it as unusual (cleavage-transected folds, a problematic distribution of plutons, and a map-scale anticline).
		These features may be manifestations of the strain heterogeneity characteristic of the Proterozoic rocks of New Mexico, rather than evidence of diverse tectonic histories.

	SEGMENTATION AND OFFSET OF THE PICURIS-PECOS FAULT SYSTEM OF NORTHERN NEW MEXICO CONSTRAINS LATE LARAMIDE MODELS ...
		A northern segment (Picuris) that trends 170-180, and a southern segment (Pecos) that trends 180-190.
		Based on their orientation and on their association with several N-trending reverse faults, the PVF and the SBF are interpreted to be tear faults, which developed in the Early Laramide (Late Cretaceous to Late Paleocene).
		The cross-cutting NE-trending Embudo fault, to the north, and the NW-trending faults to the south of the Picuris segment, limited the amount of offset on the PPFS and caused limited counterclockwise rotation of the Picuris segment of the PPF relative to the Pecos segment contributing to the difference in orientation.
