Historical context
''New Mexico has a long geologic history. The oldest rock in the state is two billion years old. Our land has undergone many changes, as lava has flowed over it. At several times, it was submerged in shallow, warm inland seas. Several mountain ranges have formed and worn away long before the Organs came to be.''
