The 70-sq-km Amboy basaltic lava field was erupted onto a flat-lying alluvial valley from Amboy Crater, a prominent cinder cone with four nested craters that rises 75 m above adjacent lava flows at the NE end of the lava field. The dominantly pahoehoe lava field divided the Bristol Dry Lake, occupying a depression between the Bristol and Bullion Mountains, into two playas. The cone and flow were originally considered to be early Holocene in age, but more recent surface exposure dating (Phillips, 2003) has given a 79,000 +/- 5000 yr BP age.
