Figure 4. Timing of volcanic events
in the SVF is constrained by mapped stratigraphic relationships, rock magnetic
polarity, and radiometric ages. Here a geologic map of part of the Morgan
Mountain area is shown (Condit, 1995) as an example of the stratigraphic
relationships used to constrain the age range of each eruptive unit. See
text for examples. Map units are colored by lithologic type (see Figure
3). The paleomagnetic time scale is shown (red - reversed polarity
time intervals, green - normal polarity time intervals).
