The 15.2 Ma Bridge Spring Ash divides the lower 18-15 Ma Patsy Mine volcanics from the above 15-12 Ma Mt Davis volcanics. The ash is found for miles in both the east and west directions but mostly to the west where it becomes highly welded (vent source) near the Eldorado chaos area.

Locations of the tuff types in the video:
Lithified here 35.738037,-114.82328
