| Name | Basalt dikes; Miocene basaltic feeder dikes of subunit ib; Columbia Plateau |
| Geologic age | Miocene |
| Original map label | Tmi; pKi |
| Comments | Tmib includes six north-northeast trending basaltic dikes, interpreted as feeder dikes for lava flows of the Columbia River Basalt Group in or near the Clearwater Embayment of the Eastern Columbia Basin (Tmi on map ID001, changed to indicate basaltic composition). Age span for Columbia River Basalt (17 to 6 Ma) is from ID120. |
