Southern Bradshaw Mountains | Yavapai County.
Framework-supported Miocene conglomerate composed of subrounded to subangular granitoid pebbles, cobbles, and boulders with interstitial sandy, orange-red, arkosic matrix. This is the basal unit of the Tertiary section in the southern Bradshaw Mountains. The clasts become more angular down-section as this rock grades to boulder-cobble sedimentary breccia, which unconformably overlies weathered and oxidized Paleoproterozoic granodiorite.
