| Comment | Sample collected from non-welded, devitrified ash-flow tuff correlative with the lower part of the Bluestone Mine Tuff of Proffett and Proffett 1976 and believed to be correlative with the Nine Hill Tuff Bingler, 1978a and part of the tuff of Gabbs Valley Ekren and others, in press. Age appears to be about 10% too young. Alkali feldspars of this composition frequently give anomalously low ages Evernden and James, 1964. |
