MARciN* THE SCENEt Long before remembered time, ice fields blanketed central India, discharging floes into a sea covering the Plains of Punjab. The Argentine Pampas lay frozen and still beneath a crush of ice. Ice sheets were carving their presence into the highest mountains of Hawaii and New Guinea. On the western land mass, ice gutted what was, in pre-glacial time, a stream valley near the northeastern shore. In this alien epoch, when woolly mammoth and caribou roamed the North American tundra, the ice began to melt. Receding glaciers left an inland lake where the primeval stream valley had been. For a time the waters of the lake reposed in bo- real calm, until, with the melting of the polar cap, the level of the great salt ocean rose to the level of the lake.

The Santo Tomas-Black Mountain basalts The Santo Tomas-Black Mountain basalt were erupted during the Quaternary from field includes four major centers, each with four centers. Six lava flows are present at one or more cones and associated flows Black Mountain, three at Santo Tomas, and (Hoffer, 1969a). From north to south, the one each at Little Black Mountain and San four volcanic centers are Santo Tomas, San Miguel. The basalts are grouped into three Miguel, Little Black Mountain, and Black major types of phenocryst mineralogy: (l) Mountain. The largest volume of lava has plagioclase abundant, (2) olivine abundant, been extruded from the Black Mountain and and (3) both olivine and plagioclase abundant. Santo Tomas centers where six and three All three types are alkali-olivine basalts, individual flows, respectively, have been showing high alkali-silica ratios and total mapped (Hoffer, 1969a). Each of the two alkali content increasing with silica. intervening centers, Little Black Mountain Seven periods of basaltic extrusion among and San Miguel, shows only a single flow. the centers have been established on the No flow from a given center coalesces with basis of field evidence, phenocryst mineralogy, those from neighboring centers, but all ap- and pyroxene-olivine ratios.
