Day Three: Modern and Proto- Harney Basin and the High Lava Plains Provence Reviewed by Richard Fletcher

Crane (Harney) Basin Overview Located east of Burns Oregon, this basin reveals some of the earliest evidence of extension on the Northwestern end of the Basin and range. Cross cutting relationships put date this basin after the 16 Ma old Steens Basalt, but prior to the High Lava Plains volcanism.

Stop One: Crane Basin Half Graben Clear stratigraphic relationships allow for accurate dating Fluvial and lacustrine deposits typical of large basins East dipping normal fault marks one edge of graben

Stop Two: Differential Extension

Stop Three: Westward Extension Formation of Harney Basin Differing deposition along Crane shear zone Northern extension persisted after Westward extension slowed or stopped Vent associated with the Drinkwater Basalt coincides with the Crane Shear Zone suggesting the shear zone localized the vents.

Stop Four: Hampton Butte Rhyodacite, Dacite dome and flow complex aged between 30.3 and 28.6 Ma Stratigraphically the same as John Day formation broadening the reach of vents and bridging volcanism noted south of Hampton Butte
