| | Dave Love - Rio Grande terrace abstract |
 | | Terrace deposits of the Los Duranes, Edith, and Menaul formations were previously defined by Lambert (1968, UNM, PhD dissertation, 329 pp.) in the Albuquerque area. |
 | | These quartzite-dominated, rounded, pebbly to cobbly sand deposits can generally be differentiated on the basis of landscape-topographic position, inset relationships, soil morphology, and height of the basal contact (above the Rio Grande) as determined from outcrop and drillhole data. |
 | | The lowest preserved terrace deposit is the Arenal alluvium (Qra), which is 36 m thick. |
