Abstract
The Bofecillos Mountains and Big Bend Ranch State Park contain a complex sequence of volcanic, volcaniclastic, and intrusive rocks that erupted from sources both within and outside the area. Detailed geologic mapping and stratigraphic, petrographic, geochemical, and 40Ar/39Ar and K-Ar studies justify substantial revision of previously recognized relationships. Magmatism occurred in several distinct episodes between 47 and 18 Ma ago, spanning the complete range of activity in Trans-Pecos Texas.
