| Cut No. 1 on the spokane, Portland & Seattle Railroad | Snyder T. E. (1949) | Latah | Latah Formation overlies the Grande Ronde basalts (16-15.5 Ma; Barry et al., 2013), although younger parts of the Grande Ronde are absent at some localiies (Nash & Perkins, 2012). It underlies the Saddle Mountain basalts (c. 15 Ma and younger; Barry et al., 2013). Ash beds within the Latah Formation at White Bird, Idaho, are dated to 15.77 Ma (Mascall Tuff), 15.66 Ma (Bully Creek tuff), and an interpolated age of 14.3 Ma (Nash & Perkins, 2012). | mudstone | 15.97 - 13.82 Ma Miocene |
