Mesa Prieta
Mesa Prieta is a mesa in Sandoval County New Mexico. The mesa was formed by a basaltic lava flow during the Pliocene. The sedimentary rocks include the Cretaceous Dakota Sandstone, Mancos Shale, and Gallup Sandstone.[1] The Rio Puerco flows south on the west side of the mesa. The Ojito Wilderness is to the east of the mesa, and Cabezon Peak is to the north. References
