The Bruneau-Jarbidge volcanic field, also known as the Bruneau-Jarbidge eruptive center [1] is located in present-day southwest Idaho. The volcano erupted during the Miocene, between ten and twelve million years ago, spreading a thick blanket of ash in the Bruneau-Jarbidge event.

6 days ago · One caldera in the southern portion of our state, the Bruneau-Jarbidge caldera, was believed to be formed from an eruption around 10 to 12 million years ago and dropped volcanic ash up to a foot ...

Jul 8, 2024 · The Ibex Hollow Tuff, erupted from the Bruneau-Jarbidge caldera complex about 12 million years ago, stretches from offshore California to Nebraska and is the ash layer that preserves ancient animals in Nebraska’s Ashfall Fossil Beds.

Dec 9, 2019 · At least seven volcanic fields have been identified: McDermitt (which began 16.5 million years ago), Owyhee-Humboldt (15 million years ago), Bruneau-Jarbidge (12 million years ago), Twin Falls (10.5 million years ago), Picabo (10 million years ago), Heise (6.5 million years ago), and Yellowstone (2 million years ago).

Here, we examine the enduring strength and evolution of this feature by summarizing and connecting previous studies to reveal a linear progression of magmatic provinces lying along the track of a fixed Yellowstone hotspot that has been active at least since 56 Ma.

Jun 29, 2020 · The Yellowstone hotspot is well known to have produced super-eruptions, such as the colossal Huckleberry Ridge Tuff eruption 2.1 million years ago and the more recent formation of Yellowstone Caldera 631,000 years ago.

This eruptive center is about 5 9 miles long and lies southeast of the scenic Bruneau Canyon. Numerous ash flows, lava flows and basalt flows were erupted during Miocene and Pliocene time. The Banbury Basalt was erupted from shield volcanoes and filled in the low areas.

Felsic volcanic fields: LOVF—Lake Owyhee Volcanic Field; MVF—McDermitt Volcanic Field; HRCC—Field of the High Rock Caldera Complex; OP-BJ-TF—Owyhee Plateau–Bruneau Jarbidge–Twin Falls Volcanic Field.

The Bruneau-Jarbidge caldera (sometimes called a supervolcano) is located in present - day southwest Idaho. The volcano erupted during the Miocene, between ten and twelve million years ago, spreading a thick blanket of ash in the Bruneau-Jarbidge event and forming a caldera.
