| Quaternary - Miocene 0 - 23.03 Ma ID: 3185380 | Cenozoic sedimentary rocks Age: Cenozoic (0 - 23.03 Ma) Lithology: Sedimentary rocks Reference: Chorlton, L.B. Generalized geology of the world: bedrock domains and major faults in GIS format: a small-scale world geology map with an extended geological attribute database. doi: 10.4095/223767.

| Tortonian - Bartonian 7.246 - 41.3 Ma ID: 2939106 | Middle Miocene to Oligocene volcanic rocks Age: Cenozoic (7.246 - 41.3 Ma) Stratigraphic Name: Peach Springs Tuff; Apache Leap Tuff Description: Lava, tuff, fine-grained intrusive rock, and diverse pyroclastic rocks. These compositionally variable volcanic rocks include basalt, andesite, dacite, and rhyolite. Thick felsic volcanic sequences form prominent cliffs and range fronts in the Black (Mohave County), Superstition, Kofa, Eagletail, Galiuro, and Chiricahua Mountains. This unit includes regionally extensive ash-flow tuffs, such as the Peach Springs tuff of northwestern Arizona and the Apache Leap tuff east of Phoenix. Most volcanic rocks are 20-30 Ma in southeastern Arizona and 15 to 25 Ma in central and western Arizona, but this unit includes some late Eocene rocks near the New Mexico border in east-central Arizona.
