It is the northwesternmost expression of the [Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province](/source/Northern_Cordilleran_Volcanic_Province). The cinder cone, and an approximately 11-kilometre (6.8-mile) long lava flow which breached the margin of the cone, erupted in the [Pleistocene](/source/Pleistocene) approximately 176,000 years ago.[2] The lava flow extends to the southeast, then turns southwest and continues in a river valley.[1] Rocks forming the Prindle Volcano occur within, and penetrated through, the [Yukon–Tanana upland](/source/Yukon%E2%80%93Tanana_upland) which is a large region of mostly [Paleozoic](/source/Paleozoic)-[Mesozoic](/source/Mesozoic) [metamorphosed](/source/Metamorphic_rock) and deformed [sedimentary](/source/Sedimentary_rock), [volcanic](/source/Volcanic_rock), and [intrusive](/source/Intrusive_rock) rocks that are intruded by younger [Cretaceous](/source/Cretaceous) and [Cenozoic](/source/Cenozoic) [granitic](/source/Granite) rocks.[3] [Xenoliths](/source/Xenolith) in the volcano's ejecta provide a sample of lower crust material.[4][5] ## See also - [List of Northern Cordilleran volcanoes](/source/List_of_Northern_Cordilleran_volcanoes) - [List of volcanoes in the United States](/source/List_of_volcanoes_in_the_United_States) ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-:0_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-:0_1-1) Wood, Charles A.
