    • Measured sections and paleocurrent data from fluvial deposits of the Upper Cretaceous-Paleogene Raton and Poison Canyon Formations, Raton Basin, Colorado-New Mexico, USA

    Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

    This document provides two data sets that characterize outcrops of fluvial deposits of the Upper Cretaceous-Paleogene Raton and Poison Canyon Formations of the Raton Basin of Colorado-New Mexico, USA. First, the dataset includes stratigraphic sections measured through fluvial deposits of the Raton and Poison Canyon Formations (ten unique .tif files), currently exposed in roadside outcrops. Second, the dataset includes raw paleocurrent data (one .csv file) measured from features within those outcrops. The data support a journal article entitled "Evidence for variable precipitation and discharge from Upper Cretaceous-Paleogene fluvial deposits of the Raton Basin, Colorado-New Mexico, USA", published by the authors in the Journal of Sedimentary Research.
