ABSTRACT
n in northern
Zacatecas state, Mexico
, consists of slightly metamorphosed volcanic rocks and
unfossiliferous continental red beds measuring a combined total thickness of approximately
1 km. The age of the Nazas remains equivocal, although limited radiometric dates from the
Nazas and adjacent units indicate that the formation is probably Triassic and/or Early to
Middle Jurassic in age.
