Sonoma Volcanics - Wikipedia The volcanic rocks crop out in a narrow, discontinuous strip along the west side of the alluvial plain of Napa Valley, and on that side also they extend northward to Mount St Helena They compose most of the Mayacamas Mountains and flank the east and north sides of Sonoma Valley
Geology and ground water in Napa and Sonoma Valleys, Napa and Sonoma . . . The Sonoma volcanics constitute a thick and highly variate series of continental volcanic rocks, including andesite, basalt, and minor rhyolite flows and interbedded coarse- to fine-grained pyroclastic tuff and breccia, redeposited tuff and pumice, and diatomaceous mud, silt, and sand
Geolex — Sonoma publications - USGS Sonoma volcanics constitute thick and highly variable series of continental volcanic rocks, including andesite, basalt, and minor rhyolite flows with interbedded coarse- to fine-grained pyroclastic tuff and breccia, redeposited tuff and pumice, and diatomaceous mud, silt, and sand; also a prominent body of rhyolite flows and tuff with some
Sonoma County rocks: Uncovering the region’s fiery geological roots Lava flows and violent eruptions created the Sonoma Volcanics, a geological formation stretching across parts of Sonoma, Napa, and Lake counties Layers of basalt, ash, and rhyolite tell the story of these eruptions, which lasted into the Miocene epoch, roughly 5 to 23 million years ago
Sonoma County - List of Stone Quarries The rock, which is a black, close-grained basalt with some olivine and augite phenocrysts, occurs somewhat fractured, producing angular blocks up to three feet across This quarry is worked only during the summer months The product is screened to No 1, No 2, and No 3 sizes and ‘dust ’ Electric power is used

Igneous rocks on the map are restricted to a single outcrop of basalt along Atherton Avenue (east of Novato, Novato quadrangle) that underlies several meters of friable mudstone containing scattered pebbles and fossils (Buchia sp ) of Early Cretaceous age (Berkland, 1969)
