The Pleistocene Mineral Mountains-Cove Fort volcanic field includes silicic lava domes in the Mineral Mountains and basaltic and basaltic andesite cinder cones and lava flows of the Cove Fort and adjacent areas. The youngest flows of the Cove Fort field were considered to be of possible early Holocene age (Condie and Barsky, 1972), but Potassium-Argon dates of 300,000 years BP were obtained from the youngest flows (Nash, in Wood and Kienle, 1990).
