Abstract

An outcrop along lower Tornillo Creek provides an unconformity contact between the San Vincente Member of the Boquillas Formation and the overlying Pen Formation. This contact marks the depositional boundary between the former North American epeiric seaway (actually retreating Floodwater) and subaqueous caldera erupted sediments derived from the Trans-Pecos Texas region. A source for the Pen Formation sediments along with a mechanism for mixing the marine fossils found within it is proposed within the framework of the Young-Earth Flood Model.
