Cenozoic Geology of Southwestern High Plateaus of Utah 1-1-001-320-4330-320 50-km-long section exposes the transitionAuthors: John J. Anderson, Peter D. Rowley, Robert J. Fleck, and A. E. M. Nairn The southwestern High Plateaus of Utah and an adjacent portion of the Great Basin were the site of extensive and prolonged volcanism during much of the Cenozoic Era. The volcanic pile that is centered near Marysvale, Utah, consists mostly of intermediate lava flows and volcanic breccia and dominates the vast accumulation of eruptive deposits that blankets this region; this
