Fish Creek Mountain, an un-named caldera in the Badger Mountain area, NW Nevada    
The Black Rock Range, NV, just north of the Black Rock Desert
   
Matt's field area: Whitehorse
     
  This circular depression is the hole, excavated by the collapse of Whitehorse Caldera, S. Oregon. The surfaceis flat because it was filled in by lake sediments.
     
 
This is the Cottonwood Creek Volcanic Complex (CCVC). It was termed a 'trans-tensional basin,' but is actually a caldera, located just north of Gerlack in NW Nevada.

This spectacular feature, in center of the image, is a vertical silicic dike that is cross-cutting older ignimbrites and lavas of the Virgin Valley Caldera, shown below.
 
   
This is the Virgin Valley Caldera, on the boarder of OR-NV. It is home to rich opal deposits buried within the light-colored sediments in the basin.
