The Red Hill-Quemado Volcanic Field in New Mexico, USA, contains more than 40 scoria cones, some of which are in the area shown in this August 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 34 km across). There are also phreatomagmatic features including the 2-km-wide Zuni Salt Lake maar at the top of this Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 69 km across).

Ringkasan geologi

The Red Hill-Quemado volcanic field in western New Mexico is across the border from the Springerville volcanic field in Arizona and contains more than 40 cinder cones and maars that were active from the late Miocene to early Holocene. The volcanic field lies along the NE-trending Jemez Lineament that extends from SE Colorado to east-central Arizona. Dating by Onken and Forman (2017) showed that three eruptive events took place during the early Holocene, and that the 2-km-wide Zuni Salt Lake maar with its late-stage nested cinder cones was formed about 11,000-11,800 calibrated 14C years ago.
