The circle creek rhyolite, a volcanic complex in northern Elko county, Nevada

The Circle Creek Rhyolite is a multiple-source mass of fayalite-ferro-augite rhyolite, forming an extensive complex in northern Elko County, Nevada, with a diameter of about 8 miles and an exposed area of about 36 square miles. From the structure of the flow layering and the complex sequence of microbrecciation structures, it seems to be a relatively thick mass that rose passively through many fis
