| Name | Rhyolite dikes and plugs; Miocene felsic subvolcanic feeder intrusions; Owyhee Plateau |
| Geologic age | Tertiary |
| Original map label | Ti |
| Comments | Tmif (Ti on map ID001 was changed to Tmif to indicate felsic composition. Tmif represents phenocryst-poor rhyolite dikes and plugs (ID112), interpreted as subvolcanic feeders for Miocene volcanic rhyolites of the Silver City Range (16 Ma, ID127). |
