Tertiary Shortening and Compression Analysis in New Mexico

Geological data supplements a journal article on multistage, multidirectional Tertiary shortening and compression in north-central New Mexico. The dataset is hosted in the open Geological Society of America Data Repository. It was contributed by the organization SCIOPS.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of Tertiary shortening using geospatial coordinate data.
• Model compression directions from structural measurement features like strike and dip.
• Correlate deformation stages with temporal data fields if available in the repository.

Strengths

• Data is peer-reviewed, supplementing a published GSA journal article.
• Openly accessible via the established Geological Society of America Data Repository.

Limitations

• Specific data volume, format, and internal structure are unknown.
• Potential for narrow geographic focus limited to north-central New Mexico.
