The central Colorado volcanic field (CCVF) is a volcanic field in Park County, Colorado.It is located in the southern Rocky Mountains and covered a roughly triangular area centered on the Thirtynine Mile volcanic area and extending from the Sawatch Range southeast to the northern Sangre de Cristo Range and the Wet Mountains and northeast to the southern Front Range south of Denver.
The Thirtynine Mile volcanic area, part of the larger Central Colorado volcanic field, is an extinct volcanic area located in Park and Teller counties, Colorado, northwest of Cripple Creek and southeast of South Park. [1] The area was the site of significant volcanism in the Paleogene Period about 35 million years ago.

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.
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 ...
