  • Volcanoes of the Mccullough Range, Southern Nevada
    spe463-09 page 203 The Geological Society of America Special Paper 463 2010 Volcanoes of the McCullough Range, southern Nevada Eugene Smith Denise Honn Racheal Johnsen Department of Geoscience, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Nevada 89154-4010, USA ABSTRACT The McCullough Range preserves a unique record of Miocene volcanism in the western Lake Mead area of Nevada. The basal part of the volcanic section is com- posed of interbedded basalt and dacite of the McClanahan Spring, Cactus Hill, and McCullough Wash volcanoes (Eldorado Valley volcanic section), and the Colony vol- cano, which is age-equivalent to, but does not crop out within, the Eldorado Valley volcanic section (18.5–15.2 Ma). These units lie on Precambrian basement and locally on the Peach Springs Tuff (18.5 Ma). Over 400 m of andesite lava, agglomerate, and breccia of the Farmer Canyon volcanic section forms the McCullough stratovolcano. Eruptions occurring after 15.2 Ma were lower in volume and are mainly present on the fl anks of the McCullough stratovolcano. These include the eruption of (1) the McCullough Pass caldera and outfl ow tuff (14.1 Ma), (2) Hidden Valley andesite, including 300 m of andesite lavas erupted from local centers (mainly cinder cones), (3) four Sloan volcanoes on the west fl ank of the McCullough stratovolcano (Mount Ian, Mount Sutor, Center Mountain, and Mount Hanna) (13.1 Ma), and (4) the Hender son dome complex on the northern fl ank of the McCullough stratovolcano. The volcanic rocks in the McCullough Range are calc-alkaline and vary in com- position from rhyolite to basalt.
