CORAL REEF SHOWS
SEA IN NEW MEXICO
FORT WORTH, Tex. P) A
barrier reef of the sea, that now
stands In New Mexico nearly 1000
miles from the ocean, Is described
for the American Association of
Petroleum Geologists by K. Russell
IJoyd, geologist of Midland, Tex.
Much of the reef now is buried.
Its exposed portion, Lloyd says, is
about 70 miles long and more than
2000 feet high gray, massive and
very porous. It lies between Carls
bad and Guadalupe poin. ,
Mr. I-loyd holds that the sub
stances composing tho limestone
prove that once it was a reef of
the barrier type, fronting the deep
sea on one side, while on tho other
was a shallow, enclosed and ex
tremely salty sea. U was built by
coral growths and by water de
posits. 4

Dealers Protective association,

than that charged the filling sta
tions. 1 ; '
A fleet of five gasoline trucks
