[Recognized around Glorieta Mesa, Santa Fe and San Miguel Counties, central northern New Mexico. Age is Permian.]

Glorietta sandstone is top member of Yeso formation. It consists of 500 feet of massive sandstone, even-grained and white when broken open but weathering reddish brown. [Recognized around Glorieta Mesa, Santa Fe and San Miguel Counties, central northern New Mexico. Age is Permian.]

Pg. 111, 118, 119, 126. Glorieta sandstone, basal member of Upper Trias, outcrops along valley of Pecos from Glorieta Mesa downstream to somewhere between Puerto de Luna and Fort Sumner, and at Santa Rosa, [Santa Fe and San Miguel Counties, central northern New Mexico]. Near Anton Chico it rests on Yeso formation. [Age is Permian.]

Pg. 295, 296. Glorieta sandstone. Baker has confused Glorieta sandstone in parts of area with the younger (Late Triassic) Santa Rosa sandstone. The Glorieta sandstone is coarse, gray, massive, 300 to 500 feet thick, underlies San Andreas [Andres] limestone, overlies Yeso formation, and is of Permian age.

Glorieta sandstone. As there is no formation between San Andres limestone and Yeso formation as defined (now called Yeso member of Cupadera formation), the sandstone of Glorieta Mesa, Santa Fe and San Miguel Counties, central northern New Mexico, is top part of Yeso member of that area. Age is Permian.

Glorieta sandstone member of San Andres formation of Manzano group. In northern New Mexico, Glorieta is basal member of San Andres formation (†Chupadera formation abandoned). Overlies Yeso formation; underlies unnamed gray, thin- to thick-bedded limestones of San Andres. Age is Early Permian (Leonard).

Pg. 1662-1664. Glorieta sandstone. Because of its wide distribution, persistence of lithology, bold topographic expression, and stratigraphic importance, Glorieta is considered to be formation (previously basal member of San Andres formation). Overlies Yeso formation; underlies San Andres formation. Maximum thickness 278 feet in Zuni Mountains. [Age is Early Permian (Leonard).] Type locality designated.
Type section: Glorieta Mesa 1 mi west of village of Rowe, in south-central part T. 15 N., R. 12 E., [in vicinity of Lat. 35 deg. 29 min. 32 sec. N., Long. 105 deg. 41 min. 36 sec. W., Rowe 7.5-min quadrangle], San Miguel Co., central northern NM.

Glorieta sandstone member of San Andres formation. Shown on columnar section as basal member of San Andres formation. Thickness 100 to 250 feet. Underlies unnamed limestone member; overlies Yeso formation. [Age is Permian.]

Glorieta sandstone member of San Andres formation. Described in northwestern Mora County, central northern New Mexico, where it is about 266 feet thick near Ocate. Underlies Bernal formation; overlies Yeso formation in extreme southwestern part of mapped area and elsewhere Sangre de Cristo formation. [Age is Permian.]

Pg. 7 (fig. 2), 10, 11, pl. 1. Glorieta sandstone member of San Andres formation. Described in Puertecito quadrangle where it is about 230 feet thick. Underlies unnamed middle evaporite member. Gradationally overlies Los Vallos member of Yeso formation; contact placed above uppermost siltstone bed, so that basal part of Glorieta consists entirely of sandstone, which is pinkish at base. [Age is Permian.]

The Permian Hondo Sandstone Member of the San Andres Limestone and the Glorieta Sandstone in Otero, Lincoln, and Socorro Cos., Orogrande basin, NM have been thought to be identical units. Both are even bedded, have small scale cross laminations, and are gray. The Hondo has clear quartz, sparse rose quartz, smoky quartz, and is slightly coarser grained than the Glorieta. Both are present between Lone Mountain in sec. 22, T 6 S, R 11 E and Riverside in sec. 21, T 11 S, R 19E on Rio Hondo. Cross sections. Block diagrams. The two sandstone are recognized in this report as to two different units separated by an unnamed limestone of the San Andres. Hondo, the younger sandstone, overlies the unnamed limestone, and Glorieta underlies the unnamed limestone. The two sandstones may merge to the north but no proof exists. Hondo thickens toward southeast NM whereas Glorieta wedges out to the southeast. In many areas, only one sandstone is present. The unnamed limestone thins northward. Glorieta and San Andres were deposited in a marine environment.
