Structure:

THE CABALLO MOUNTAINS ARE COMPOSED OF ELONGATE, TILTED FAULT-BLOCKS TRENDING NORTH-SOUTH AND GENERALLY DIPPING EAST. LARGE DISPLACEMENT FAULT ZONES WHICH ARE CONTINUOUS FOR GREAT DISTANCES HAVE FORMED A FEW LONG, NARROW BLOCKS AND EACH BLOCK HAS BEEN LOWERED RELATIVE TO THE ONE WEST OF IT. THE WESTERN FACE OF THE MOUNTAIN FORMS PART OF THE EASTERN BOUNDARY OF THE RIO GRANDE RIFT. NUMEROUS FRACTURES AND SMALL DISPLACEMENT, DISCONTINUOUS FAULTS TREND EAST-WEST TO NORTHWEST.
