Background
The Tumalo volcanic center is the inferred source of large-volume Pleistocene ashflows such as the Desert Spring Tuff, the Bend Pumice and Tumalo Tuff, and the Shevlin Park Tuff. The area contains a large number of rhyolitic domes, such as Melvin Butte, and andesitic cinder cones, such as those in the Triangle Hill area, which are compositionally similar to the Tumalo Tuff (and correlative Bend Pumice) and Shevlin Park Tuff, respectively.---
