 Tumalo Tuff, and 
 Shevlin Park Tuff. The area has many rhyolitic domes, such as Melvin Butte, plus andesitic cinder cones, including those of the Triangle Hill and Triangle Peak area, whose composition is similar to the Tumalo Tuff (and Bend Pumice), and Shevlin Park Tuff. This area has andesitic and mafic cinder cones, such as Lava Butte. and rhyolite domes. Viscous rhyolite domes extruded to the surface. Ways the Tumalo Volcanic Center's ashflows have been used
