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.

Miocene 5.333 - 23.03 Ma ID: 2872077 | Younger silicic ash flow tuffs Age: Miocene (5.333 - 23.03 Ma) Stratigraphic Name: Timber Mountain Tuff; Paintbrush Tuff; Crater Flat Tuff; Belted Range Tuff Description: Includes units mapped as the High Rock sequence on the Washoe North map; the Timber Mountain, Paintbrush, Crater Flat, and Belted Range Tuffs, and Indian Trail Formation (now abandoned) on the Nye South map; the Thirsty Canyon Tuff on the Nye South and Esmeralda maps; and other unnamed units. Locally it includes tuffaceous sedimentary rocks interstratified with tuffs. It is present in the northernmost part and southernmost parts of the State, and is not exposed in the central region. It corresponds to unit Tt3 on the 1978 State map, although a few rocks also mapped as Trt on the 1978 State map also are included. It is present in Clark, Churchill, Washoe, Nye, Lincoln, Lyon, Douglas, Carson, Esmeralda, Elko, Humboldt, Pershing, and Mineral Counties.
