Abstract:
Discovery is announced of reef bodies in the Ogallala cap rock on the Llano Estacado Plateau of New Mexico and Texas, similar to those previously described by Elias from a limestone in the same position in Kansas and elsewhere on the Northern High Plains.
The characteristic concretionary structure of the reefs is widely but not universally repeated--with and without observed reef bodies--in the upper part of the Ogallala cap rock, and in post-Ogallala limestone cap rocks of basin deposits of the plateau and of the Mescalero pediment between the plateau and Pecos River.
A syngenetic origin for many of the banded concretionary bodies is preferred, while the formerly advanced post-depositional hypothesis of Price may apply to others.
