Previously identified as an unnamed area with two small Quaternary centers (IAVCEI, 1973), this location corresponds to the lava plateau (480 km2) on the edge of the Dasht-e Lut (Lut desert) of Iran named Gandom Beryan (meaning "Scorched Wheat" in Persian). Also known as Gandom-e Beryan or Rig-e Soukhteh, it is located 80 km N of Shahdad city. Some small cinder cones are present, but the source of the extensive basalt flows is not certain. Ar-Ar dating (Walker et al., 2009) of basalt from three locations in the lava field ranged from about 2.15 to 2.80 Ma.
