Mexico: Sierra Madre Oriental. The sweeping folds of the Sierra Madre Oriental, like those of the Anti-Atlas (STS108-711-25) formed when a gypsum-bearing sequence of rock layers was compressed as two tectonic plates collided about 60 million years ago. Gypsum is exposed in the core of the fold at Potrero Garcia, the triangular open fold north of Monterrey.
