Scientific Opinion on Gallup Crevice Volcanic Activity
Geologist Dr. C L Herrick presents a scientific opinion on a crevice near Gallup Navajo Reservation fifteen miles northeast of Gallup. He notes a fold and fault west of section 16 with meta morphism evidence and a constant stream of heated air carbon dioxide sulphurous oxide and vapor from sandstone cracks. He links this to slow oxidation of shales with water and historic water ascent along the eastward cracks.
