Conglomerate (geology)
Conglomerate is a clastic sedimentary rock that is composed of a substantial fraction of rounded to subangular gravel-size clasts.
See Bell Top Formation and Conglomerate (geology)
Earth's crust
Earth's crust is its thick outer shell of rock, referring to less than one percent of the planet's radius and volume.
See Bell Top Formation and Earth's crust
Geologic time scale
The geologic time scale or geological time scale (GTS) is a representation of time based on the rock record of Earth.
See Bell Top Formation and Geologic time scale
Geological formation
A geological formation, or simply formation, is a body of rock having a consistent set of physical characteristics (lithology) that distinguishes it from adjacent bodies of rock, and which occupies a particular position in the layers of rock exposed in a geographical region (the stratigraphic column).
See Bell Top Formation and Geological formation
Granite
Granite is a coarse-grained (phaneritic) intrusive igneous rock composed mostly of quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase.
See Bell Top Formation and Granite
Las Cruces, New Mexico
Las Cruces ("the crosses") is the second-most populous city in the U.S. state of New Mexico and the seat of Doña Ana County.

Mogollon-Datil volcanic field
The Mogollon-Datil volcanic field is a large silicic volcanic field in western New Mexico (Mogollon Mountains-Datil, New Mexico).

New Mexico
New Mexico (Nuevo MéxicoIn Peninsular Spanish, a spelling variant, Méjico, is also used alongside México. According to the Diccionario panhispánico de dudas by Royal Spanish Academy and Association of Academies of the Spanish Language, the spelling version with J is correct; however, the spelling with X is recommended, as it is the one that is used in Mexican Spanish.; Yootó Hahoodzo) is a state in the Southwestern region of the United States.

Oligocene
The Oligocene is a geologic epoch of the Paleogene Period and extends from about 33.9 million to 23 million years before the present (to). As with other older geologic periods, the rock beds that define the epoch are well identified but the exact dates of the start and end of the epoch are slightly uncertain.
See Bell Top Formation and Oligocene
Palm Park Formation
The Palm Park Formation is a geologic formation in southern New Mexico. Bell Top Formation and Palm Park Formation are Paleogene formations of New Mexico.
See Bell Top Formation and Palm Park Formation
Partial melting
Partial melting is the phenomenon that occurs when a rock is subjected to temperatures high enough to cause certain minerals to melt, but not all of them.
See Bell Top Formation and Partial melting
Sandstone
Sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized (0.0625 to 2 mm) silicate grains, cemented together by another mineral.
See Bell Top Formation and Sandstone
Spears Group
The Spears Group is a group of geologic formations exposed in and around the northeast Mogollon-Datil volcanic field of southwestern New Mexico. Bell Top Formation and Spears Group are Paleogene formations of New Mexico.
See Bell Top Formation and Spears Group
Stable isotope ratio
The term stable isotope has a meaning similar to stable nuclide, but is preferably used when speaking of nuclides of a specific element.
See Bell Top Formation and Stable isotope ratio
Tuff
Tuff is a type of rock made of volcanic ash ejected from a vent during a volcanic eruption.
See Bell Top Formation and Tuff
United States
The United States of America (USA or U.S.A.), commonly known as the United States (US or U.S.) or America, is a country primarily located in North America.
See Bell Top Formation and United States
Volcaniclastics
Volcaniclastics are geologic materials composed of broken fragments (clasts) of volcanic rock.
See Bell Top Formation and Volcaniclastics
Year
A year is the time taken for astronomical objects to complete one orbit.
See Bell Top Formation and Year
