Feeder dikes to the Columbia River flood basalts : underpinnings of a large igneous province

Creator:

Petcovic, Heather L.

Abstract:

Feeder dikes to the Columbia River Basalt Group (CRBG) large igneous province provide a rare opportunity to examine magma transport through the shallow crust during flood basalt eruptions. Over 70% of the CRBG erupted from the Chief Joseph dike swarm, which is exposed across southeastern Washington, eastern Oregon, and western...

Volcanology and petrology of the Rattlesnake Ash-Flow Tuff, eastern Oregon

Creator:

Streck, Martin J.

Abstract:

The Rattlesnake Ash-Flow Tuff erupted 7.05±0.01 Ma from the western Harney Basin, southeastern Oregon. The location of the vent area is inferred based on vent-ward increases in size of pumices, in degree of welding, and in degree of post-emplacement crystallization. Today's outcrops cover 9000 km2 and estimated original outcrop coverage...
