| Holocene - Zanclean 0 - 5.333 Ma ID: 2739601 | Holocene to middle Pliocene basaltic rocks Age: Cenozoic (0 - 5.333 Ma) Description: Mostly dark-colored basaltic lava and cinders young enough that some original volcanic landforms are still apparent. Includes a small amount of andesite, dacite, and rhyolite. Rocks of this map unit are largely restricted to six areas widely distributed in Arizona: San Francisco and Uinkaret volcanic fields in northern Arizona (0-4 Ma); Springerville (0-4 Ma) and San Carlos (0-2 Ma) volcanic fields in east-central Arizona; and San Bernardino (0-1 Ma) and Sentinel (1-4 Ma) volcanic fields in southern Arizona. Rocks of this unit are also present in the extreme southwestern part of Arizona where they were erupted at the edge of the Pinacate volcanic field (0-2 Ma) in northwestern Sonora. (0-4 Ma) Comments: Largely in six volcanic fields: San Francisco, Unikaret, Springerville, San Carlos, San Bernardino, and Sentinal.
