| Pliocene - Eocene 2.588 - 56 Ma ID: 2848557 | Tertiary intrusive rocks of intermediate to silicic composition Age: Cenozoic (2.588 - 56 Ma) Description: Includes monzonitic to granitic plutons, stocks, laccoliths, and porphyritic dikes in deeply eroded magmatic centers; and andesitic, dacitic, or rhyolitic plugs and dikes near cauldrons or stratovolcanoes. In the Latir field, fine-grained rhyolitic dikes commonly cut coarse-grained granitic plutons. Includes alkaline laccoliths, plugs, and dikes in Colfax County. North-trending dikes near Capitan include some mafic diabase dikes. Lithology: Major:{granitic,syenitic}, Minor:{felsic hypabyssal,mafic hypabyssal} Reference: Horton, J.D., C.A. San Juan, and D.B.

| Miocene - Oligocene 5.333 - 33.9 Ma ID: 3272686 | Rhyolite Age: Cenozoic (5.333 - 33.9 Ma) Description: Aphanitic to sparsely porphyritic rhyolite (76–77 percent SiO2) containing less than 5 percent phenocrysts. Distribution and structural relations generally similar to those of intrusive rhyolite porphyry (Trp) Reference: Lipman, P.W., J.C.
