| Neogene 2.588 - 23.03 Ma ID: 3186305 | Cenozoic volcanic rocks Age: Neogene (2.588 - 23.03 Ma) Stratigraphic Name: Columbia River Basalt Comments: Columbia Plateau Lithology: Flood basalt(s); mafic volcanic rocks; basalt Reference: Chorlton, L.B.

| Miocene 5.333 - 23.03 Ma ID: 2784652 | Younger rhyolitic flows and shallow intrusive rocks Age: Miocene (5.333 - 23.03 Ma) Stratigraphic Name: Cañon Rhyolite; Jarbidge Rhyolite Description: Rhyolitic flows, domes, plugs, breccias, quartz latite, rhyodacite, quartz porphyry dikes, and other shallow intrusive rocks. This unit includes rocks mapped as the Cañon Rhyolite on the Washoe North map, the Jarbidge Rhyolite and phenorhyolitic and phenodacitic flows and domes on the Elko County map, and other unnamed units. It has a distribution similar to Tt3, with exposures in the northern and southern parts of the State, but only crops out in a few places in the central region. It corresponds to unit Tr3 on the 1978 State map, and also includes a few rocks mapped as Trt on the 1978 State map. This unit is exposed in every county except White Pine.
