  1. BASIN ANALYSIS Virginia T. McLemore New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM

  2. Class notes • Choose an article, read it, and report the important points back to the class • 10 min (NO LONGER) • Purpose of paper • Methods used • Conclusion of paper • Your evaluation • Class schedule (April 3, 8, 17, 24, 29, May 8) • Field trip date

  3. What is basin analysis?

  4. Geologic method Defining and describing a sedimentary basin Analyze the sediment Composition Primary structures Internal architecture Describe basin components Backarc Forearc passive margin Epicontinental Extensional What is basin analysis?

  5. Controls of basins • Sediment supply (uplift of source area) • Subsidence (thrusting, flexing of the lithosphere)—regional tectonic activity • Sea level (climate) • The rates of these processes is more important then their magnitude.
