The Concepcion Formation occurs in southwestern Puerto Rico and consists of massive pillowed basaltic lava flows and volcanic breccia interbedded with tuff. Unit rarely contains thin foraminiferal limestone lenses. Thickness unknown. The Concepcion is of Late Cretaceous age. Source: GNU records (USGS DDS-6; Reston GNULEX).

The Bridge Timber Mountain area in south-central La Plata County, southwestern Colorado lies mostly in the northwestern part of the Central San Juan Basin but contains a segment of the bounding Hogback 'monocline' and Four-Corners platform.

Source: GNU records (USGS DDS-6; Reston GNULEX). The Canyon Range Formation (informal new name), formerly mapped as the Indianola Group within the Canyon Range, is divisible into two distinct, mappable units, A and B.

Unit A is nearly all conglomerate strata, and conglomerate texture and sedimentary structures suggest an alluvial fan depositional environment. Precambrian and basal Cambrian quartzite clasts represent the erosional debris from.
