Mixed breccias including volcanic, thrust, jasperoid, and landslide megabreccia (NVbr;0)

Mixed breccias including volcanic, thrust, jasperoid, and landslide megabreccia

Breccias of various origins are scattered across Clark, Nye, Lincoln, Elko, Eureka, Lander, and White Pine Counties. Most are interpreted to be Tertiary in age, but have tectonic, volcanic, and metamorphic origins, and include jasperoids, brecciated tuffs, exotic slide blocks, landslide deposits, megabreccia, thrust breccia, and debris beds.
