Description
The Samaniego Hills are a low series of hills composed of flat-lying to gentlydipping early Miocene and possibly late Oligocene lava flows interbedded with thin units of volcaniclastic and locally non-volcaniclastic sandstone and conglomerate. The preserved sequence is approximately 600 meters thick. The top is not preserved, but the base is well exposed along the southern edge of the hills, where it overlaps K-feldspar porphyritic granite of probable Middle Proterozoic age invaded by diabase dikes. The diabase occurs as vertical and subhorizontal dikes, and is probably associated with the Middle Proterozoic Apache Group, which overlies the granite sparingly along the southern edge of the map area. The granitic rocks form a broad piedmont surface that grades upslope to the southwest into the Silver Bell Mountains, which are dominated by Late Cretaceous volcanic, sedimentary, and hypabyssal plutonic rocks associated with the Silver Bell Caldera complex (Watson, 1964; Sawyer, 1996).
