Title: The Guadalupe Mountains as They Look to the Aerial Geologist: ABSTRACT

Author(s): Cary P. Butcher

Article Type: Meeting abstract

Abstract:

Stratigraphy in the Guadalupe Mountains is definitely related to contemporaneous structural movements. These relationships become obvious to the aerial observer. They become a part of his permanent record when they are photographed. Initial ground reconnaissance is advisable, and subsurface data should be given careful consideration. Such procedure has been followed in the Guadalupe area. Aerial observation is of great value even prior to surface or subsurface study. Thus time is saved, especially as the observer gains in experience. Hence these progressive aerial obliques of the Guadalupe Mountains are presented in the hope that they will be of value in better understanding subsequent papers and field trips. They culminate work begun in 1928. Views are east-northeast, an the progression is in a northwesterly direction. A simple cross section is added in further explanation.
