Shapefile
Sills, plugs and dikes of basaltic andesite, basalt, and andesite. In the Cascade Range most of these represent feeders, exposed by erosion, for flows and flow breccias of units Tba and Trb and a few are feeders for units QTba and QTa; in foothills of western Cascades includes several sins and dikes that may represent feeders for flows in unit Tu. May include some invasive flows. Includes a few dikes of hornblende and plagioclase porphyritic andesite, commonly altered, that probably were feeders for parts of unit Tu
