General Gregory J. Arigma
A.E. Arigma in the Plateau Regim of horizontal strata
Central Regim (going from N.W.-to S.E.) in the Mountain
Regim of sierras with filled in valleys between.
The Regim is from 70 to 100 miles and all of the
strata are folded. Their trend is "nearly north-
north east and south east, but near the Mexican border
it becomes more nearly north and south, and the
mountain gne as north side eralesces with
a belt of north-south ranges which extends
northward through New Mexico and divides the
Plateau Regim in the east. The northwesting
belt of Arigma is described by Seltut as continuous
with the Basin Range system of Nevada and
Utah, and is considered by him as exhibiting the
same prevailing type of geographic structure.
He states that his examination "have demonstrated
no anticlinal structures, except as minor
features. The usual structure is monoclinol
demonstrative due to faulting in the Chiricahua
and Pinal ranges, and presumably so in many
others." With this conclusion the observations em-
bodied in the present folio accord? (1).
