Marker bed known as the Loriolia Bed, found 80 feet below the contact of the Glen Rose Limestone and the Kainer Formation. The photograph was taken north of Farm to Market Road (FM) 195, approximately 1,500 feet west of the intersection of FM 220 and FM 195. The Loriolia texana fossils are identified by white arrows (photograph by Allan K. Clark, U.S.

Many eyes watch the amount of water running past the important Otowi streamflow gage. On May 23rd, Tyson Hatch from the New Mexico Water Science Center (NMWSC) presented an overview of the streamgaging activities of the Otowi Gage to participants of the Rio Chama Basin and San Juan-Chama Project Tour.
