State	Idaho
Name	Rhyolite flows and ignimbrites; Late Pleistocene felsic volcanics of subunit 3f; Yellowstone Plateau
Geologic age	Late Pleistocene
Original map label	Qpu3f
Comments	Qpu3f corresponds to Plateau Rhyolite, Central Plateau Member, Buffalo Lake Rhyolite flow (0.15 Ma). It is described as a rhyolite flow in ID123, but as a rhyolitic ash-flow tuff on map ID100.
