Remnants of the northeast lobe of the dacite flow of May 19–20, 1915 (unit d9) are exposed in the notch at the top of Lassen Peak, above the Devastated Area. The original blocky carapace of Lassen Peak (unit dl, 27±1 ka) has been removed by glaciation, whereas a blocky carapace is preserved on the unglaciated domes of Chaos Crags (units rcb, rce and rcf, 1,103±13 yr B.P.). Forested slopes in front of the domes of Chaos Crags are the rhyodacite domes of Sunflower Flat (unit rsf, 41±1 ka). Mount Diller is a remnant of the Brokeoff Volcano (590–390 ka). The slopes in front of Mount Diller, between Chaos Crags and Lassen Peak, are underlain primarily by the rhyodac- ite dome and flow of Krummholz (unit rkr, 43±2 ka, part of the Eagle Peak sequence) and the dacite of hill 8283 (unit d82, 261±5 ka, part of the Bumpass sequence) and are mantled by tephra of the Chaos Crags eruptions (unit pc, 1,103±13 yr B.P.). Crescent Crater (unit dc, 236±1 ka) is also part of the Bumpass sequence. Raker Peak is the vent for the andesite of Raker Peak (unit arp, 270±18 ka), part of the older Twin Lakes sequence.

  • Mafic-Felsic Magma Interaction at Satsuma-Iwojima Volcano, Japan
    Earth Planets Space, 54, 303–325, 2002 Mafic-felsic magma interaction at Satsuma-Iwojima volcano, Japan: Evidence from mafic inclusions in rhyolites Genji Saito1, James A. Stimac2, Yoshihisa Kawanabe1, and Fraser Goff3 1Geological Survey of Japan, AIST, Central 7, Higashi 1-1-1, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8567, Japan 2Philippine Geothermal, Inc., 12th Fl. Citibank Tower, 8741 Paseo de Roxas, Makati, Philippines 3EES-6, MS-D462, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM 87545, U.S.A. (Received January 9, 2001; Revised January 25, 2002; Accepted February 4, 2002) Geochemical and petrographic studies of the rhyolites and mafic inclusions from Satsuma-Iwojima volcano were carried out in order to investigate evolution of a silicic, bimodal magma system during the post-caldera stage. Abundant mafic inclusions, which are fine-grained with vesicles in their cores, are present in the Showa- Iwojima rhyolitic lava. Inclusions with similar textures are found in Iwodake volcanic bombs but are less common than in the Showa-Iwojima lava. The major and trace element compositions of the inclusions plot along mixing lines connecting the host rhyolites with spatially and temporally associated basaltic to basaltic andesite magmas. Plagioclase phenocrysts in the inclusions have a large variation in core compositions (An42 to An96), and exhibit various zoning profiles and reaction textures, indicating they coexisted with melts ranging from basaltic to rhyolitic composition. Pyroxenes also exhibit a wide range in composition and a variety of zoning patterns consistent with multiple sources. These results suggest that a stratified magma chamber exists beneath the volcano, consisting of a lower basaltic layer, an upper rhyolitic layer and an episodically-present, thin middle layer of andesite.

  • Sampling of Great Year Round Attractions Found in Redding and Shasta Cascade
    SAMPLING OF GREAT YEAR ROUND ATTRACTIONS FOUND IN REDDING AND SHASTA CASCADE Any Adventure, Any Day awaits those who visit Redding and Shasta Cascade. Whether your idea of a great vacation means extreme outdoor adventure, family-friendly activities, or cultural excursions, Redding and Shasta Cascade are filled with year-round unexpected pleasures. Land lovers can explore Redding through its expansive and nationally-recognized trails system, where visitors walk, hike, bike, or horseback ride their way to adventure. If you prefer playing in the water or floating on top, Redding’s access to several rivers and lakes allows for boating, paddle-boarding, rafting, swimming, and fishing on the Sacramento River, or at nearby Whiskeytown and Shasta Lakes. There are so many great things to do and see all year long in this breathtaking region, you’ll soon understand why visitors come back again and again. SUNDIAL BRIDGE This one-of-a-kind, glass decked pedestrian bridge serves as an incredible entrance to Redding’s Sacramento River National Recreation Trail. World-renowned Spanish architect, Santiago Calatrava, conceived the unique design of the bridge. It is the first bridge of its kind in the United States, and is the tallest working sundial in the world! The massive 217 foot pylon leans due north and functions as the gnomon of a sundial, casting its giant shadow on a garden- bordered dial plate at the bridge’s north end. The suspension, cable-stayed design of the bridge does not have any footings in the river, out of respect for the nearby salmon-spawning habitat. Receptions under the bridge are available.

  • Geologic Map of Lassen Volcanic National Park and Vicinity, California by Michael A
    Geologic Map of Lassen Volcanic National Park and Vicinity, California By Michael A. Clynne and L.J. Patrick Muffler Pamphlet to accompany Scientific Investigations Map 2899 Lassen Peak and the Devastated Area Aerial view of Lassen Peak and the proximal Devastated Area looking south. Area with sparse trees marks the paths of the avalanche and debris-flow deposits of May 19–20, 1915 (unitsw9 ) and the pyroclastic-flow and fluid debris-flow deposits of May 22, 1915 (unit pw2) (Clynne and others, 1999; Christiansen and others, 2002). Small dark crags just to right of the summit are remnants of the May 19–20, 1915, lava flow (unitd9 ). The composite dacite dome of Lassen Peak (unit dl, 27±1 ka) dominates the upper part of the view. Lithic pyroclastic-flow deposit (unitpfl ) from partial collapse of the dome of Lassen Peak is exposed in the canyon of the headwaters of Lost Creek in center of view. Ridges flanking central area are glacial moraines (unitQta ) thinly covered by deposits of the 1915 eruption of Lassen Peak (Christiansen and others, 2002). Small permanent snowfield is seen on the left lower slope of Lassen Peak. Area east of the snowfield is the rhyodacite lava flow of Kings Creek (unitrk , 35±1 ka, part of the Eagle Peak sequence). Dacite domes of Bumpass Mountain (unit db, 232±8 ka), Crescent Crater (unit dc, 236±1 ka), hill 8283 (unit d82, 261±5 ka), and Loomis Peak (unit rlm, ~300 ka) are part of the Bumpass sequence.
