| Middle Pleistocene - Piacenzian 0.126 - 3.6 Ma ID: 2779617 | Early Pleistocene to latest Pliocene surficial deposits Age: Cenozoic (0.126 - 3.6 Ma) Description: Coarse relict alluvial fan deposits that form rounded ridges or flat, isolated surfaces that are moderately to deeply incised by streams. These deposits are generally topographically high and have undergone substantial erosion. Deposits are moderately to strongly consolidated, and commonly contain coarser grained sediment than younger deposits in the same area.
