A Special Pedernal Viewed This Morning From Abiquiu Lake

by

A special Pedernal viewed this morning from Abiquiu Lake. Cerro Pedernal, known locally as just Pedernal, is one of the most recognized landmarks in north-central New Mexico – in the northern Jemez Mountains south of Abiquiu Lake in the Coyote Ranger District of the Santa Fe National Forest. The name is Spanish for ‘flint hill’. The peak is capped by at least five flows of andesite and basalt that likely were erupted from a volcanic center on Encino Point, the highland to the west-southwest of Pedernal. The lava flows are 7.8 to 7.9 million years old. Source:New Mexico Bureau of Geology & Mineral Read More
