| State | Washington |
|---|---|
| Name | Tertiary volcanic rocks, undivided |
| Geologic age | Mostly Oligocene-Eocene |
| Original map label | Tv |
| Comments | Stoffel and others, 1991, report that while the term "Pend Oreille andesite" was once widely used, it has since been abandoned. This unit appears to be primarily andesite, followed closely and possibly matched by dacite; rhyolite occurs only incidentally; no mention of basalt in referenced literature. |
