The Chama Basin is a small basin east of the San Juan Basin in northern New Mexico
The Chama Basin is a geologic structural basin located in northern New Mexico. The basin closely corresponds to the drainage basin of the Rio Chama and is located between the eastern margin of the San Juan Basin and the western margin of the Rio Grande Rift. Exposed in the basin is a thick and nearly level section of sedimentary rock of Permian to Cretaceous age, with some younger overlying volcanic rock.[1] The basin has an area of about 3,144 square miles (8,140 km2).[2]
