| Zanclean - Tortonian 3.6 - 11.62 Ma ID: 2766771 | Pliocene to late Miocene basaltic rocks Age: Neogene (3.6 - 11.62 Ma) Description: Mostly dark, inconspicuously flat, low-lying or mesa-forming basalt deposited as lava flows. Rocks included in this unit are located almost entirely in the large volcanic fields south and west of Flagstaff, in smaller fields in northwesternmost Arizona, and in the Hopi Buttes volcanic field on the Navajo and Hopi Indian Reservations north of Holbrook. Original volcanic landforms have been obscured by erosion.
