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. 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.

Miocene - Oligocene 5.333 - 33.9 Ma ID: 2755437 | Andesite and basalt flows Age: Cenozoic (5.333 - 33.9 Ma) Stratigraphic Name: Mizpah Trachyte; Malpais Basalt; Rabbit Spring Formation; Mira Basalt Description: Generally poorly age constrained. This unit includes rocks originally mapped as the Pyramid sequence in Washoe County, the Mizpah Trachyte in Nye County, the Malpais Basalt, Rabbit Spring Formation, and Mira Basalt in Esmeralda County, and many other poorly dated unnamed basaltic and andesitic rocks around the State. It corresponds to unit Tba on the 1978 State map.
