E. E. Larson [9] and others in 1975 and P. T. Leat [10] and others in 1989 briefly discussed the role of Dotsero Crater as part of regional volcanism in northwest Colorado in terms of both volcano-tectonism and geochemistry. Both papers provide only a very limited descriptions of the primary volcanic deposits at Dotsero Crater, some of which ...
The lineament is defined by aligned volcanic fields and several calderas in the area, including the Valles Caldera National Preserve in the Jemez Mountains. The Jemez Lineament is thought to be a hydrous subduction zone scar, separating Precambrian basement rock of the Yavapai-Mazatzal transition zone from the Mazaztl Province proper.
South Park is a grassland flat within the basin formed by the Rocky Mountains' Mosquito and Park Mountain Ranges [1] within central Colorado. This high valley ranges in elevation from approximately 9,000 to 10,000 ft (3,000 m).
