Preliminary Survey of a Paleocene Faunule
from the Angels Peak Area, New Mexico

INTRODUCTION

Angels Peak stands on the eastern rim of a large area of badlands carved by a tributary of the San Juan River from Paleocene strata of the Nacimiento formation, and presumably also from Wasatchian strata of the San José (Simpson, 1948). This area of badlands lies some twelve miles south of Bloomfield, New Mexico in the Kutz Canyon drainage. Angels Peak (Angel Peak of Granger, 1917) and Kutz Canyon (Coots Cañon of Granger, and of Matthew, 1937) are names that have been applied to the location (figure 1).
