About this book
Mammals of Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado is a book by Sydney Anderson. The introduction says that a person standing on the North Rim of the Mesa Verde in southwestern Colorado sees a vast green plain sloping away to the south. The text says that geologically the Mesa Verde is the northern edge of a Cretaceous, coal-bearing, sandstone deposit called the Mesaverde group, which dips beneath the San Juan Basin of New Mexico.
The text says that the Mesa Verde is, technically speaking, a cuesta rather than a mesa, and that the remnants of the plateau left between the canyons are also called mesas, though incorrectly in the technical sense; Chapin Mesa and Wetherill Mesa are examples. A discussion of mice says that a change in the ratio of young mice to old mice between August and November was noted: in August, 29 per cent of the population is composed of old mice, and in November only 6 per cent.
