Strawberry Volcanics (Pliocene? and Miocene) (ORTstv;0)

State	Oregon
Name	Strawberry Volcanics (Pliocene? and Miocene)
Geologic age	Miocene to Pliocene
Original map label	Tstv
Comments	The large area of Tstv shown on the State geologic map (OR001) northwest of Vale is a continuation of lower and middle Miocene rock units mapped to the south in the Vale 30'x 60' quadrangle (OR007) and includes rhyolite of Cottonwood Mountain, Hunter Creek Basalt, a thick underlying basalt and basaltic andesite sequence that may be equivalent to the basalt of Malheur Gorge, and intercalated sedimentary and pyroclastic rocks (Evans, unpub. mapping 1994, Hope Butte and Swede Flat 7.5' quadrangles).
Primary rock type	basalt
Secondary rock type	andesite
Other rock types	rhyolite; dacite
