The Permian sediments of the Guadalupe Mountains in
Western Texas and New Mexico are one of the best places in the
world to study ancient carbonate deposition. Every major carbonate marine
environment is represented in undeformed, excellently exposed
outcrops. This website contains many pictures of the classic formations
found in the Guadalupe Mountain region. Either click on the formation
in the Statigraphy section or click on the formation in the table
