228:. The more recent eruptions are increasingly dominated by tholeiitic magmas, suggesting that the source region for the magma has become increasingly shallow over time. The pause between the first and second pulse coincides with a general decrease in volcanism on the Colorado Plateau and Rio Grande rift, while the pause between the second and third pulse seems to be local and to correspond to a shift in volcanism to the nearby

Because the field contains individual vents displaying hydromagmatic, Strombolian, and effusive eruption modes, and because the subsurface strata are well characterized, the field has been studied to develop models of entrainment of country rock in eruptive conduits.
202:. The field consists of isolated outcrops scattered over an area of about 2,000 square kilometers (770 sq mi) with a total eruptive volume of about 7.3 cubic kilometers (1.8 cu mi).
