 Colorado Rocks
Volcanic outputs at hot spots can be truly prodigious, but the associated intrusive activity can be just as important.
Volcanic rocks occur in many tectonic settings, including magmatic arcs at subduction zones (as in the Banda Sea at right), seafloor spreading centers, ocean islands, and along continental rifts and other leaky faults.
Intrusives are often involved in the plumbing system of a volcanic edifice or field, as were the beautifully exposed Oligocene intrusions seen at right in the West Elk Mountains, but some never communicate with the surface while still molten.

Huge petrified redwoods and incredibly detailed fossils of ancient insects and plants reveal a very different Colorado of long ago.
Almost 35 million years ago, enormous volcanic eruptions buried the then-lush valley and petrified the redwood trees that grew there (See Thirtynine Mile volcanic field).
A lake formed in the valley and the fine-grained sediments at its bottom became the final resting-place for thousands of insects and plants.

Measurements of pH, specific conductance, and bacteria were conducted in the field and sample collection procedures were followed as described in USGS National Field Manual (Wilde and others, 1998).
The granitic and volcanic rocks in the study area compose aquifers that contain ground water in fractures (Tweto, 1979).
Wells completed in volcanic-rock aquifers, as part of this study, generally are located in the Thirtynine Mile Volcanic Field or the Guffey Volcanic Center in southeastern Park County (Epis and others, 1979).
